Blast Tournament
by arianbehfar
Blast Tournament is a fast paced and intense top down shoot 'em up, in which you are given only 3 rules. Captivating retro stylised graphics with incredibly enthralling synthwave tunes make for a mesmerising flow state of gameplay.
Wipe out all enemies as you survive to progress to the next arena. If you fail, game gets reset to the first arena. In other words, you have complete it in one thrilling attempt. All or nothing!
Why is BlastTournament different? Projectiles you fire at enemies, will continuously bounce off walls if you miss the target, effectively making them an extra obstacle for you to avoid. Every shot missed, punishes you by adding one more layer to the difficulty.

Game Graphics Story/Writing/DialogueLove the retro graphics and visual 'arcade cabinet' effect, and playing it brought back recent memories of Geometry Wars and how tough that got. What it needs though, IS MORE SYNTHS!! Great work folks

Controls MechanicsJust completed level 4! here's my review...
The good:
-Controls are excellent, smooth and responsive, everything feels right. Game is fun to play!
-Retro graphics with bloom are pleasing to look at
-Getting punished for missing by having projectiles bouncing around the level is a cool idea
-Music is good and fits with the theme
The bad:
-Getting bumped back a level after losing is frustrating and makes the game feel repetitive. I'd recommend finding a different way of punishing the player, maybe using a system where you have X amount of lives before it's gameover
-The player can sit in one place for a long period of time if they are accurate. You have the timers to encourage movement which is cool, but I think it would be a lot more fun if some of the enemies could fire projectiles at you, this would force movement in a more interesting way. You could even have it so you could shoot down certain projectiles
-Why is tournament in the name, there is no tournament going on in this game :P
Suggestions:
-More enemy variety. Enemies that take multiple hits, fire projectiles, have special abilities etc...
-Add some environmental stuff that the player can periodically interact with
-Spawning multiple enemies at once would be fun
Overall fun game, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Much appreciated!I like the game lives idea. I'm currently working on a content update with some new enemies and mechanics. So that will hopefully make the game richer. Name is totally random haha
