Fun, snappy game with cool mechanics that work great with the jam's theme! One thing I ran into at first was that I spent my 50 credits for a better gun before realizing I needed them for my first boss fight. Maybe there was a way to sell an upgrade back, but I couldn't figure out a way to progress forward. I started up a new game and was fine after that. Overall, very cool game!
Would appreciate it if you checked out my game :)
Interesting game! I enjoyed being able to play with so many stats before entering into a boss battle. It fits the theme very cleanly with gaining less if you go in with more.
If you wanted to improve, I suggest not having the shop available until at least one boss is defeated. First time playing I bought something and didn't have the funds to go into the boss battle.
A bug I found: If you are decrease a stat all the way until you have 0 then try to add some back, regardless of how much of a buffer you should have, you will still be shown as loosing money.
Overall, a really fun game!
Visuals are nice, gameplay is very addicting, music and sounds are fine. Solid one!
I find the left hand using the space bar to jump quite difficult when trying to control the mouse too. So I therefore had great difficulty playing this game. The less is more concept was really nice. I thought it was quite innovative to use the stats like that. Way up risk vs reward. Great job adding a shop too. There was actually quite a lot in here for a short Game Jam. Lastly I actually enjoyed the music. So much so I let it play while I played some other games, hehe.
Nice game! The shooting and particles were good. Movement was sortof hard. Maybe mapping to a game controller could be better. The sound effects were a little piercing on the ears. I only beat the twins because I ran out of money to fight anything else and did not want to beat them over and over again. Maybe you could make it so there are 2 paths, one where you either go one by one in a specific order and another where you can use money to fight ahead and potentially win money. That way if you win you have a way to instantly fight a new boss but also have the option to jump around if you are good enough.
Very cool concept and nice game! I liked both the visuals and the music. At first I was a bit worried since I found the camera was offset so I lost a lot of vision when moving through the tutorial, but I did not find that as a problem when getting to the bosses.
It is a lot of cool content in a small package. Very well done!
I liked the progress of the game with upgrades you could buy. It was hard at first but when I played more I got comfortable with it. The wallsliding was a little bit weird for me and I always got rid of the sliding speed to get the bonus money. Overall a very good game and a lot of content for this limited time, congratz!
Really cool game and nice mechanics! I like the idea of making the battles harder to earn more money but I personally found it quite difficult even against the twins with normal settings
I love the idea of betting on whether or not you'll win with any given settings!
Hey I actually really like this one. There is a lot of effort in this project.
My one issue is whatever that SFX you play when the character jumps. It annoyed me a bit.
Other than that, I liked its correlation with the theme.
I don't like anonymous voting so here is my rating.
Keep up the good work!
This was a great game. I found that the simplistic art style suited the game very well and made it very aesthetically pleasing. I did feel like there was a steep learning curve, but all in all, it is a solid entry! Good Job
That was really fun to play, however I found the early (beating a boss the first time, with nothing bought, only the stats to change) pretty hard and I had to solve it by staying in a corner where the twins can't reach you. But once you start to be able to really play with many stats thanks to the upgrade, that' becomes really funny !
