Amazing and very well done! I love these inventory puzzle systems wherever they show up, and it compliments your game and the theme so well! The art style is great and the theme of the Bayou is incredibly fun. Wonderful work!
I loved the art. The bosses were great. This looks like the result of a lot of work. Good Job.
I really liked the concept and looks a lot, crunchy textures for the win! Probably my favorite boss was the one at the river because I used the harpoon gun and got to be constantly spining around jaja.
In terms of optimization it was a hit or miss depending on the bossfight (mostly played in browser), the snake arena in therms of design for me was a bit rough specially needing to look up almost constantly and damage or ammo of weapons could have been a bit high in general. Other than that this was a banger, would pay for a full release no doubt!!
Yeah we are definitely pushing things to the limit on browser! I think the frog boss probably has the most stuttering on the first play through. Thanks for sticking with it!
Amazing boss designs, its hard to pick a favorite even the simpler one for me(circus) has nice details and interaction, the snake boss second phase was very surprising, I like the way you used the shaders, the only thing is that windows unknown editor popups(you can just not embed the pck and upload a zip file) and the frog fight lagged a lot when I first played it, didnt happened the second time I guess I was faster, awesome game, good job!
So much in this game, and besides the loadout, scale of the game is immense! Fantastic job on the gameplay and replayability.
The only downsides, or maybe a personal preference, but the dithering is too pixelated and sometimes( like in circus) i cannot discern the boss with all that effects going on.
Very fun game!
Wow! Probably one of my fav games here! Amazing music, fun visuals and crazy cool animations
Great game bosses are cool i like the pixel feel in the game i love it so far
The bosses looks really cool. The fights are nice too, each boss feel different from the other one, and I like how you can choose to fight them in any order.
The visual and music are nice, also I like how many items you can choose to have, tho personally I feel like the art of the items could be better.
Anyways, cool game!
The atmosphere and scale of the game is awesome! I love the theme of bayou and the creativity that came with it. Keep it up!
I love your vartiation of ps 1 style. Mucsic good and boos fights are not the same this is soooo good!
I basically love everything about this.
The audio, the visuals, the systems, the writing, the set pieces.
Top marks from me, hand down one of my favorites from the jam.
Really great!
Man this is a good game. Like really, no complaints. Fun characters, great aesthetic, amazing boss and level design combinations, tight movement and fight systems, cool upgrade and loadout mechanics. Definitely my fav game I’ve played so far.
That was so fun!
I absolutely love the music, and it feels so good to control. I love being able to try a new build out, just to see if it'll stick with the boss, then refining it until perfect.
Insanely fun!
Really fun! I love the shop and the different interactions you can potentially have with every item makes the game easy to play multiple times.
EPIC!!!
Super fun entry, I really like the concept of "try, try, and try again" for build-making. Lots of fun experimenting with builds, and the bosses were very frantic and fun to fight!
Prince Ribbert opened me up!
cool game
