IMO there should be a short "Grace period" where the laser is turned off at the start of each level, just so you dont accidentally kill someone in the first few seconds
Thank you for sharing this with us. But rest assured, we received an invitation from Armor to publish Laser Guy on their portal. We put the game there ourselves. <3
Really nice idea and looks polished but feels very very buggy. I keep getting stuck on invisible walls. Then there's the fact you laser instantly without any kind of grace period.
I'm pretty sure he's referring to how your laser starts firing before it swings to where your cursor is, sometimes causing you yo lose immediately after entering a room
The idea of the game is amazing!! It has such a fun concept and has a fantastic Pixel Art!!
My only problem with the game was the controls.. The character always get stuck in objects, it gets hard to move around.. And the way the camera suddenly moves in some areas, making the character lose control of the laser and killing his friends is really annoying
I would absolutely love the option to use the arrow keys for control, because being left handed, it is very difficult to aim the laser with my right hand. This means I'm stuck on the third screen, but i'd love to come finish it if there's a control update!
Yes, please! This would be perfect! I loved the idea and thought it looks very high-quality when I saw the gameplay video on itch.io's YouTube, but when I tried the game I had the same problem with the touchpad controls, so controller support would be awesome!
For me Laser Guy is the best game from GMTK 2020. I have made a review video on Best games from GMTK game jam 2020, and I have include your game review there... Do check it out and also Share and Subscribe to my YouTube channel...
Soon I will be uploading a walk through video of your game as well...
Once again, Superb work... looking forward for more :)
Congrats nice game! and good idea, keep working on it, you have a lot things to better and fixer. Maybe I can help you, I'm do testing on indie games like yours, if I have time I could do some test cases, for your game. Look for me on twitter like @Perspective033.
A great idea with charming aesthetic that was sadly tainted with janky camera, clunky controls and unreliable obstacle detection :
1) Janky camera - the camera tends to make sudden shifts when turning corners, causing my lazer to shoot a diff direction 2) Clunky controls - wasd + mouse is a great choice for this game, but the cursor tends to get "wobbly" at times 3) Obstacle detection - I find myself bumping into invisible obstacles from time to time, it's as if my character's hit box is bigger than it seems
I understand this is made in 48 hrs, kudos for the devs for making this. But overall, my gameplay experience has been more frustrating than fun. Hope you guys improve upon this, I'd definitely be interested to purchase this as a full game.
This is amazing! Kudos to the game developers! Indeed, it felt more like a puzzle game than a "lazer shooter," heck, add in a small element of suspense. Simplistic, yet amazing at the same time. Oh, and did I mention? The soundtrack's great as well.
this was a JOY to play, the premise is inherently the most hilarious thing in the world, and the spritework is so cute!!! i had a ton of fun playing this, thank you for sharing it!!
Hey guys. I love your game. However, I could not finish one level because of camera movement issues. I tried many times. Also, my Xbox controller did not work there. You can see what I did on my video:
That sucks, we're really sorry about it. We already fix this blocker caused by the camera and will upload the updated version as soon as the jam over on sunday! Thanks for playing and sharing yout feedbacks, means a lot to us! <3
There's a issue with the camera that force the laser out of where I'm aiming that simply made the game unplayeable on that "weird layout" level.
(The one where the guy says he was on a important call and another one complains about his flowers.)
I had to stop, I felt I was failing not because of my mistake but because a coding one.
That said, I like the setting, the little assholes design is pretty cool and the idea behind the game is fresh. Maybe I'll drop sunday to see the game after the patch.
Loved this game! The music is awesome, but it's not looping. I also had some issues with the camera, but didn't stop me from beating it. Would love to play more levels!
Hey, thanks for playing! We have already solved that bug but unfortunately we cannot upload a new version until Sunday when the rating period for the jam ends :(

it would be great if the camera didnt move so abruptly

make a lot of sense, love it! will bring this idea to the team asap
Hey, I think someone stole the files and posted them online under their own name.

If this was you, then great, but I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

THE LASER THING IS THE FUCKING PURPOSE OF THE GAME READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION YOU IDIO
I'm pretty sure he's referring to how your laser starts firing before it swings to where your cursor is, sometimes causing you yo lose immediately after entering a room
THE THEME OF THE GAME JAM IS "OUT OF CONTROL". O-U-T-O-F-C-O-N-T-R-O-L YOU FUCKING DUMBASS
Yeah, "out of control" not "instantly lose"
well i mean a game that instantly says you lose and puts a virus on your computer is out of control but thats not very fun is it? also calm down jesus
what do you mean a virus?
jeez instead of assuming they they're instantly wrong maybe ask them to elaborate or something?
I tried your game. it was fun but sadly I had a horrible day so... sorry if I sound tired. Here is my video anyway. If your interested of course.
Loved the Laser Guy, Probably the BEST game of GMTK game jam 2020.
I have done a gameplay walkthrough video of Laser guy, do check it out and also share n subscribe to my channel Video Game Genie on YouTube.
Congratulations! looking forward for more awesome games from you guys!
The idea of the game is amazing!! It has such a fun concept and has a fantastic Pixel Art!!
My only problem with the game was the controls.. The character always get stuck in objects, it gets hard to move around.. And the way the camera suddenly moves in some areas, making the character lose control of the laser and killing his friends is really annoying
This is great! definitely a fav from this year.
I would absolutely love the option to use the arrow keys for control, because being left handed, it is very difficult to aim the laser with my right hand. This means I'm stuck on the third screen, but i'd love to come finish it if there's a control update!
The game is fun but the mouse controls are a bit clumsy, especially when ocasionally screen jump happens (and consequently, jump in laser direction).
Can you please implement gamepad controls (one stick to control movement, another - to control laser direction)? I believe it should be funnier.
Yes, please! This would be perfect! I loved the idea and thought it looks very high-quality when I saw the gameplay video on itch.io's YouTube, but when I tried the game I had the same problem with the touchpad controls, so controller support would be awesome!
We will implement the controller support very soon. And we are trying to fix the camera issues as well. :)

A sweet idea and a fun game, great work in the jam. I hope there will be more Laser Guy adventures. :)
MAN ITCH.IO TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO LOAD A GAME
Congrats nice game! and good idea, keep working on it, you have a lot things to better and fixer. Maybe I can help you, I'm do testing on indie games like yours, if I have time I could do some test cases, for your game. Look for me on twitter like @Perspective033.
Great game man
HEY! Your game got on the itch.io YouTube page! Nice work!
Dont you think he already know that?

What a pair of Mary's those guys in line were! Great game, I hope to meet you guys in the infirmary one day, maybe our blood bags will touch...
Superb music! I really liked the game as a whole, but the music is out of this world.
Thank you *___*
i love love love loved this game! great work!
just saw this on Mark's video! Insane
Congrats its flawless!
Awesome entry, congratz on the win.
BTW. diagonal movement is probably not normalized (I actually noticed only on the win screen though).
yeah you go zooming
Super fun !
I really liked the music and the concepts. Very good gameplay too, congratulations!
this was a JOY to play, the premise is inherently the most hilarious thing in the world, and the spritework is so cute!!! i had a ton of fun playing this, thank you for sharing it!!
Made a video starts at - 14:18
Just when you think you've seen it all... Loved your game. This is awesome creativity.
Thank you so much! Really glad you like it <3
I want coffee!
hahahahhahaha, daaaale boy :D
Nice Danilo! Cool concept!
Very cool game! I played it for only a few minutes but will be back for more. It was fun to play and the art direction is appealing. Good job!

Thanks for sharing your feedback, means a lot to us! We already remove the blocker, but will be fixing more of these camera issues next week :)

Hey, thanks for playing! We have already solved that bug but unfortunately we cannot upload a new version until Sunday when the rating period for the jam ends :(
Yeah, I had the same issue with my game, but the bug I had made it completely unplayable 😅
I did play the fixed version, and still had some camera issues (less than the jam version, but I still had it).
Yeah, we only removed the blocker for now. Cinemachine is great but without the proper experience becomes a pain in the ass
This game is pretty awesome. I love it.
thank you <3
Interesting idea, but the collisions are really inconsistent due to the particles, making it very hard to move through some areas.
We ended up making the particle system close to end the jam. But after Sunday we will upload a revised version of the game! Thanks for playing <3
This is a really great game, I love the concept. Honestly, my coworkers were such jerks that I didn't feel to bad when I accidentally lasered them...
thanks a lot <3 glad you like it :)
The only thing bad about this game is its shortage of The Office easter eggs. (And the camera in some levels) Congratulations!
Thanks!!
I wish I had more time to add other easter eggs, but It's really nice to know that the few that I slipped in are apreciated :)
Sometimes the camera changes abruptly and it messes up your aim, other than that, i love the concept
its only on the level with the "boss". but ya because of that that level was so hard to beat lol. great game loved it so much
thanks a lot <3
We have already solved that bug but unfortunately we cannot upload a new version until Sunday when the rating period for the jam ends :(
Brilliant! Love the music, art, and sound effects! Very challenging and entertaining. Will play again.
Thank you so much! On Sunday we will be able to upload an updated version with some fixes :)
