dashy dash game REMASTERED

heyo, dashy dash was pretty nice, but i took it to the next level with starz (the name of this game).

starz is about a color hole (a black hole, but colorful) trying to eat other stars. unfortunately, bob (the hole's name) can only eat starz the same color as him. fortunately, bob can change colors by pressing the space bar.

try to survive and get the most points :)

controls:

WASD or arrow keys to move
Space to change color/boost

hacks:

v Key - Vector; see where you are going
l Key - Lines; see where stars are going
c Key - Color; see where stars the same color as you are going

How it was made

Alright, time to get technical. First off, I would like to review the enemies in the game. They may seem smarter than my previous games' enemies, but in reality, they are the same. The only difference is that they follow an offset from the player, not the player themselves.

This makes it seem like they have minds of their own and sometimes they 'dodge' your dive.

Next I want to talk about game design. The principle is still the same; you dash around and defeat enemies. What's different is that now you can always defeat SOMETHING, but there are a lot more things that can defeat YOU.

There's not much to talk about actually.

bacc to my olde style of talking ig.

this is cool af

ikr
@BobTheTomatoPie

yes

I made the orbs spawn instantly, made the color list only red and turned on bot trails
also boost makes me go super fast so i got like 1000 score or smth but this isnt that

here it is
highest i could get before it was about to crash

... e @Whippingdot

@Whippingdot Lol

Let's be honest.
This game is not fun.

let's be honest, we all have different opinions @ChristopherDai

@Whippingdot ehhh, do you think you'll play thhis game 24/7? Or play an actually fun game. Its only good because you know someone took their hard work, but if this was actually launched in a play store, no one would probably play it. I've never seen a person who really would play such a simple game that is this, actually, the developers may play it for testing.

Totally agreed with that. @GABELACANLALE

@GABELACANLALE & @ChristopherDai why can't you just appreciate someone who worked hard to make a game. You guys have to be haters. You try making this

@Whippingdot I said "its only good because you know someone took their hard work". Its not fun, we just play it because were being nice to a person who did hard work.

Well, seems like I take "appreciating hard work" as dishonesty. So I said, "let's be honest". Yet the game is beautiful, it's not fun. @Whippingdot

It is fun for me. i love playing it ~~THO IT MAKES ME RAGE GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAA~~ @ChristopherDai

gonna have to be honest here, if you think it's not fun, then don't say anything at all. you're ruining the vibe smh >:c

yeah sure. Your other games are fine but this is boring. But still beautiful. @CursorsDev

tbh i this game beats the others

I like the clicker one. And the ball one, you shoot the ball with the mouse to eat red balls to not die. That's interesting. @CursorsDev

HE SAID DON'T SAY ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY @ChristopherDai

bruh @Whippingdot

@ChristopherDai
