Game's take on the theme
the secondary power consists of placing a marker with which we can exchange our location. after each boss a scientist gives us a mysterious potion that we can exchange for a potion with known effects

This game had such a great take on the theme. This game felt really polished. I had a lot of fun playing this game. The fact you made it during the jam is amazing. Great Job.
If you are interested, could you please play my game. I would really appreciate it.
One of the best implementations of the theme I saw, at least one of the most fun! The art and sound's a little rough on the edges, but with more time I'm shure it will be even better.
The closing gates at the start of the level are cool artistic touch, but they glitched on me couple of times ( sometimes they didn't open fully, only one part slided, the second time they didn't open at all!).
But overall nice little game.
Well done little game. So fun!!!
Game feels fun, needs some sfx as other comments said, but overall game is well made.
Also credit where credit is due, level switch screen is great, good job.
Nice game, the one thing I really feel is missing is a health bar for the bosses, so you can feel you're making progress. The visuals are nice, I really liked how everything fit in the Lab theme, with the transitions between screens also following that theme. Good job as a solo developer!
Fun game! Always nice to have any sort of tutorial and this one teaches the mechanics very efficiently. I think the controls play well and are pretty tight. Could definitely see this system expanding for a full release.
Good game! The tutorial intro is a nice addition. The theme is well implemented as well. The game could use some SFX for shooting and hitting the Boss. I couldn't tell if the bullets were effecting the boss.
It was very nice that you took the time to put together a tutorial!
Good with the quick respawn time after death, so you can get right back at it without delay.
We think this game would benefit from some invincibility after taking damage, as well as a boss health bar to let the player know they're making progress.
Nice choice on the environment! Building the environment theme into the transition between bosses was sweeeet, nice one!
