Chaos Arena
IMPORTANT:
BUG MAKES IT SO THAT SECOND TIME YOU PLAY AFTER STARTING NEW GAME ALL YOUR SAVE DATA IS DELETED AND YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY REDIRECTED TO FOREST EVEN IF YOU SELECTED A DIFFERENT STAGE. AS SOON AS YOU DIE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AND HAVE TO START A NEW GAME.
ALSO THE GAME SOFTLOCKS OFTEN. ENTERING THE FOREST AND DYING AND RETURNING TO MENU GUARANTEES A SOFTLOCK. TEMPLE SOFTLOCKS EVERY FEW GAMES AND VOLCANO SOFTLOCKS THE LEAST. REFRESH THE PAGE IF THIS HAPPENS.
CURRENT WORKAROUND: ALWAYS START A NEW GAME INSTEAD OF PRESSING CONTINUE AND REFREESH THE PAGE WHEN A SOFTLOCK OCCURS
Description
You are in an arena without a way to escape, no weapon yet, and no means of fighting... DEFLECT the Enemy bullets to survive in this chaotic bullet hell and collect powerups to help you. USE THE ENVIRONMENT around you to help deal massive damage (lava and falling trees and columns). Three Maps, no time limit, let's see who gets the highest score! Oh right, and enemies have elements so look out to deflect bullets from an enemy which has an element stronger than another enemy towards that one enemy: Fire beats Nature which beats Wind which beats Fire, simple enough, elements are colour coded on slimes.

Quite fun to play, although unclear what the goal is in the beginning. Perhaps a brief intro with images that show the mechanics could help :)
Oh i see, we didn’t have enough time but it was definitely something I would have added if I was to have had more time.
the gameplay is ok but it is too difficult also when i play in easy
If you want pls rate my game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1173383
Sure, I’ve been told about the difficulty and I’ll tweak it after the jam. Also i will check your game out for sure!
Just asking but did you leave a rating or not? Because the number didn’t seem to go up…
yes i did :)
Oh thank you a lot then! :)
unfortunately i cant play in the browser. good luck
Oh, that’s a bit sad, still good you at least had the intention to try it. So thank you!
A lot of fun but I feel like the game is a little difficult when you first try it out. None the less, a very fun game!
Thanks a lot! And yes I know it is hard when you first play it… I wasn’t planning originally to make different difficulty modes but I ended up making them exactly because of this. Did you try playing in easy mode?
I played in normal mode which was hard in the beginning but I was able to get adjusted to it.
Ahh I see.
Test comment!
