How did you/your team interpret the theme?
If we are not playing as the hero, then the obvious role would be to play as the villain. I'm quite fond of the old superhero shows and sometimes root for the monsters to win.
How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Super fun, it was my first time participating in a jam that lasts for more than three days, but in the end I still need to cut a lot of corners and bench some ideas.
Content Warnings
Monster shoots at humans (Policemen, Army, and Superheroes) but there are no blood and gore, everything explodes when defeated.

I love the concept.
I kind of expected scripted failures, and a few different monsters, but i guess there must be a 2 part sequel.
(I just kinda out ranged or ran by the police)
Yeah, scripted failures and multiple monsters was planned originally, but I sorta ran out of time 😅
Great concept, nice art, good gameplay, overall good job!
Thanks a lot :D
The pixel art was really well done and I loved the old dungeon crawly vibe the music gave. The difference in shooting styles were really unique and interesting and it kept the gameplay fresh. Overall great game!
Thanks a lot, glad you like it :D
Oh man! What a throwback! I loved the art and idea here. The controls were simple and gameplay was straight forward. I mostly wish there was more to this game. Nice job!
Thanks a lot, glad you are enjoying the game :D
Hi! huge fan of the idea; i love sentai and tokusatsu so it was really fun to see a game themed on that. Being the monster in both of the gameplay style was fun, but it felt more like the not being the hero part was just to do with visuals. though, i really loved the art! the characters were fun and very well done; i do wish the grids were more aligned in the boss fight part. overall, great job! i had a very fun time completing it.
Oh, nice to see another toku fans here :p
You're right, it kinda dawned on me near the deadline that I haven't done anything with the theme other than playing as a monster XD
But, glad that you liked the game, and thanks a lot for the detailed feedback~
Really like the art and sounds, the gameplay is simple but responsive. The level design could be improved I think !
Thanks a lot :D
And yeah, I didn't really spend a lot of time designing the levels, need to put that as a high priority next time XD
I love this idea! Shooting controls were very responsive. I had to play through to the end.
Awesome, thank you very much :D
