A Note from the Developer
Hey there! Iām a 19-year-old solo developer, and BloodWave is the very first game I've ever made. In fact, this project is only 14 days old!
BEFORE YOU JUDGE MY ART.
No it is not AI assets, just free assets on itch.
Yes the art is not perfect I only had 14 and I focus all on gameplay
Yes it will get better in the upcoming update
Yes I did use AI to polish my discription from errors and add make it look good
Yes the game is missing allot, I mean there's just so much you can do in 14 days
Yes allooot is going to change it the coming update once the game get index
Iām still learning the ropes as I go, so while it might be a little rough around the edges right now, I have big plans. My goal is to keep building and updating this game over the next few months to turn it into something truly special—a fully fleshed-out, real experience.

Pretty simple game, I've got nothing against it although i do have a few notes:
1-there doesn't seem to be a consistent art resolution in the game, each enemy looks way different from the last and even the background and level don't look like they fit it
2-the character controls fine but since the game is top-down and you'll be moving while moving alot, it would be better imo if the direction of the swing was based on the mouses location rather than the direction of moving
3- for the love of god add a volume slider š i turned on the game and got my ears blasted
4-lastly, try to be on-theme, the main menu looks good but it doesnt have the game name nor anything to do with the game + the game itself doesn't have much connection to 'blood wave' other than the enemies dieing with blood
overall this game does things right for a first time, the game loop is good with no issue and the enemies and player have responsive animations and there are powerups in the game, for 14 days this game is pretty good
that's all i have to say, good luck on your development journey <3
Thank you allot for the feedback.
Yes I already have allot of updates for the game, but I am waiting for my game to be index by itch.io, and also want to get as much feedback as possible.
And I am sorry about your ear š
Nice game, especially for the first time.
I see you already had your encounter with the anti AI crowd. Might be worth taking a closer look at the assets you use - some of them might be generated. That is if you care about it, if not, that's also fine by me.
Also, as a side note, depending on the license, some assets might require you to credit the author if you use them. That might not get you in trouble, but it's a good practice either way.
Yes, there's allot and I mean allot of changes that have to be done, I was in so much of a hurry, that 14 days was Soo little. I didn't have time to credit all the Creators.
I am working on allot of updates, while I am waiting for my game to be index, before I release the update
no Ai bro, why would you say that?
Do you normally talk in AI tells? Emojis, em dashes? Or like, draw in inconsistent styles, with inconsistent pixels, or mixing pixel art with more traditional art styles? And all that? Because AI does, and that's what this does. Even the "don't forget to rate" page's pixel art has pixels that aren't square, lol.
Funny, do you want me to direct you to every single free assets you see me use in my game?.
Not a single assets in this game is AI and are all free assets you can find on itch.io if you look.
The DONT FORGET TO RATE is also free assets.
Anyways thanks for your feedback bro š
Is that all you do?. I look at your page and you don't create anything and only comment on developers page how they use AI, how about trying to build something first.
This pixel art creators put their hearts into making this assets and gave us for free to use.
I would not let you go to their page and spam then with this AI slip nonsense.
nice
Thank you š
