The game is fun to play and I like the art style. Only thing I can say to improve it is probably to lower the health and have more enemy types or faster projectiles to make it more challenging. Other than that its a solid good

It's fun. I think the bullets for both the player and enemies should be faster. A visual indication that is the same room would be great. Some UI to represent stats and changes made to the stats when a power-up is picked up. Great game but it needs some work.

Submitted

Very fun! I would add an about button becouse it took me a while to figure out the controlles but overall veryyy fun

Cool graphics!!

Loved the game! Really simple, balanced gameplay. Love the binding of isaac style progression. Item and health packs making a choice of going for a defensive or offensive playstyle adds a lot to what could have been a basic twin stick shooter. Variety of weapons and levels could help a lot in the future. (obstacles for example)

I liked this game :) i reentered 35 times :p it felt balanced overall :) Maybe a boss fight every once in a while would really help to keep it interesting :) 

Submitted

Awesome game! It definitely feels like Binding of Issac but with eggs lol, charming visuals and would be cool if expanded on with some giant egg-themed boss fights haha.

Awesome work, feel free to check out my submission too if you have the time :)

So FUN! i got to  reentered 23 times! so fun

Submitted

cool game, reminds me of the binding of isaac, how does the game relates to the theme?? 

the upgrades are cool, but the rooms feel all the same, like if im moving  in a loop , in and out of the same room

Thanks for your feedback!

Clearing the room in the designated time (15 seconds) will add the remaining time to your timer.

It is indeed the same room.

yeah , i know, after i scrolled trough the comments i saw that  the room was an intended design choice lol

Submitted

sorry couldn't get the mac version to work, but I'll try the windows version when I have access to a windows computer later this week.

In  the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

edit: cute little game! I like the art style and that you used the arrow keys as the shooting! I kinda wish I was able to shoot diagonally, but wasn't the biggest deal in terms of gameplay. A little buggy, like at one point I spawned out side the borders of the room and couldn't get back in/shoot enemies. And honestly, it's a little too easy, so I wouldn't mind some more enemies being spawned at a time or stronger enemies overall. But good job, it was still a cute, fun little game!

We work with the theme in 3 ways

- You always play in the same room! 

- Clearing the room in the designated time will add the remaining time to your timer. 

- Gaining upgrades in a state will lower another, correlating stat (e.g. higher damage results in lower range)

lol sorry, i asked about the rooms, and then readed this lol

This concept is pretty cool! The theme connection is a bit loose, but hey, its a fun game! Some more enemy types would be nice, and maybe have obstacles fall down into the room for some more variety.

Great Submission! (I clearly see the binding of Issac inspiration, well done)

I really love binding of isacc so i had no problem while playing :D . It was really fun i had enjoyed it more than i tought. My record is 21 room btw. My only complaint is that the map is not working? or is it just a decoration? Other than that great work :D

The map is actually part of the Theme gimmick!

You always walk back into the same room! Less rooms, more enemies, you catch my drift? :D

Submitted

Ohh i get it now :D

Very fun game to play with great art and nice mechanics! I had a blast with this. Great job!

Submitted

Fun game! The controls are quite unique, but they work well. The design is also quite nice!

At one point I managed to get stuck behind the walls when not walking through the door immediately, so I had to restart.


That's an interesting bug! Time to go and fix it I guess!

Thanks for reporting!

Submitted(+1)

It was funny to play! Nice art and gameplay! Good job!

Please check my game as well ;)

Super fun game! Never played a game where the arrow keys are the shooting buttons but it really worked! The design is also really fresh and nice! I would probably make the bullets a bit bigger like in Enter the gungeon or Isaac, as it makes the bullets have a little more oumph! But overall really fun game! Well done :D

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed it. Never played Binding of Isaac though. I think it could've used a little more variety though.

Submitted(+1)

Good job guys. It is a pretty good take on a binding of isaac style game :) the only critique is that itd be nice to be able to do more! Powerups, wider range of enemies etc. But I understand its a quick gamejam
