Last times we\u2019ve struggled through the very last minute to finite things to be stable at least. Now it already plays and feels fun and even has a catchy menu. So we\u2019re super happy to have another day to polish things here and there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/12\/0d23e642f4119aed56f243cbe94d6fdf.png\"><img alt=\"VELCRO2\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-419520 size-medium\" height=\"183\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/12\/00305295711f4fc2c3874b1453feae58.png\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This time we tried to keep things simple in terms of game mechanics and visuals. The game itself is a rhythmic kinda bullethell. You need to block bullets from hitting the dot in the center. The longer you stay the faster the bullets fly. It has a very distinctive ambient and minimalistic vibe to it. Unfortunately screenshots cannot capture the swear-as-you-play dynamical gameplay and some trippy music.<\/p>\n<p>It was initially intended to be played with a gamepad so the main goal for today\u00a0is to setup a decent PC oriented controls and to further refine gameplay and add more music, may be even create rhythmic patterns that will match the playing music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" id=\"attachment_419508\" style=\"width: 310px\"><img alt=\"VELCRO1\" class=\"wp-image-419508 size-medium\" height=\"183\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/12\/1e525cf50c6f910d766357095dec20c3.png\" width=\"300\"\/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">VELCRO<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s all for now.
