Spectro Electro

Just putting the videolink of my gameplay here :P https://youtu.be/7b8T5jlem-M?t=3300

Really well made game! I included it in my GM48: Collect! compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/bAl5VC2b78w

Great game, Seltzy!! My record so far is 73160, but that was with an auto clicker macro. I'm a filthy cheater 😥

I set up a mouse just to play this, and gotta say it was worth the effort. The game is fun and has a certain charm, the ghosts sound adorable and the music is nice too. The art was good but some visual bugs took me out of it somewhat. A good game in my opinion is a game where even if you strip away the sound and art you're still left with engaging gameplay. Spectro Electro is no exception as it is wildly addictive.

Phew! This was a really well made game, and I'm not surprised -- it's Seltzy after all :)

So... I'm pretty awful at this game, but it's a good game. I don't know if it was me or the controls, but I had an awfully hard time trying to land on those skinny wall tops.

The Good:

• Art
• Music
• Sound
• Menus
• Stat keeping
• Game design

There's probably more I could put on that list above, but my finger is tired, so I'll get straight to the bad:

The Bad:

• My finger is tired
• No, really, MY FINGER IS TIRED!

Like... I had to stop playing because it was getting hard to move my finger! I wanted to play more. I wanted to go for that high score (well at least until I checked what the high score was and realized I actually kind of like my finger)

Aside from that, I can find very little constructive criticism to give, emphasis on criticism. If I had to just utterly nitpick, I'd say maybe the weakest category would be innovation? It has unique elements, but just relative to how good the rest of it is, ya know? Like I said, nitpick!

Ya done good!

Good!

Pretty slick game you put together. I liked the idea of gaining new skills as the level progressed, and the Megaman-style controls are always a plus to me. The voice at the beginning was rad, and the art/music was solid. Overall, a really good entry and I'm glad I gave it a shot.

A few things:

• I think adding gamepad support would definitely make for a better experience. And, as others suggested below, an auto-attack feature when holding down the mouse button could be cool. I would have liked to play more to see what was up next, but my wrists disintegrated on the second attempt.
• Maybe adding skills a little faster would be nice, but I could be off-base on this because I'm not great at PC games, though.
• I think we, as a community, need to know this game's lore. Who is spectro? And why is he/she so electro?

I played for a while and only got 30k D: this is really hard, but it's a cool concept. Learning the level and thinking of different routes was a lot of fun.

My biggest gripe with the game was the controls, the walljump were a little too hard for me, especially on keyboard, and I'm not a fan of mashing the mouse as fast as possible to shoot. My brain can't handle it when you need to walljump and shoot lots of things at the same time.

Finding the "hidden" room bottom left was nice, especially when I unlocked the piercing shots, but on my best run a barely had the time to get back to the exit from this point.

I'm really curious to know what at the bottom right behind all those spikes and how to get there, but for now my hands hurt a little too much.

This game was incredible to play! I got instantly sucked into playing this game, the art and music design was very nice as well :D A very addicting game and a pretty sweet concept, the only thing I have to say is that wall-to-wall jumps were a little hard to perform but other than that this is a solid entry.

Well done!

Well this is much more addictive than I thought it would be - the style, the pressure of the time, collecting the spirits, it all just works so well together, great job!

Pretty decent entry. Nothing stands out exceptionally, but its definitely on the higher end of quality for a GM game.

Really fun! With each playthrough you know more, so the next try can be done more efficiently. One thing I would change is some auto-attack when holding (could be not as fast, but still). Really liked it.
