This is crazy fun condensed here, really well made, I like the visuals, the aspect of each boss and how they have this color fun look to them, really well made, the mechanics are nice, the difficulty is at the right point, I hope you can continue working in this after the jam because its so nice really. I rate graphics, control, fun and music the most, but all is cool really, also, if you have some time,please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

the most fun i had in a game from this jam, THIS IS THE GAME, one thing i didn't like was that touching them get you killed but i got used to it and killed the 3 bosses, i want a full version now!

This is gaming right here. A real games game.
Like actual insanity. Great art. Great Music. Great Theming.

All the bosses pretty much use the same move set, but they are so unique in their context I didn't even notice till I had to think about this critically.

At times it felt that I was moving forwards or backwards while lasso'd when I didn't want to. Maybe I was hitting the walls and didn't notice. It was annoying when it happened. This was probably a skill issue on my part.

Good Game! Good Job!

Unhinged, difficult, crazy, amazing. This is one of the most unique I have ever played, hell, touched, I heard it was good but I didn't knew it was THAT good!

Awesome game, so far the best game I've played at this jam. The Windows 98 style looks really cool in the game.

I liked the movement mechanics, everything happens quickly and at the same time there is an understanding of what is happening. It's cool that there are two attacks on the left mouse button, I'll take note.

Each boss has its own tricks, I liked that the second boss can stop and change direction during the attack, it was unexpected. On the third boss, the attack with the fences was more difficult for me than the last stage at night. It's cool that the targets are constantly changing and it's not always easy to shoot in the center.

The only nitpick is that on the first boss, the damage to the black bubbles doesn't seem to go through if they are next to the boss, perhaps because the boss's hitbox is larger than its 3D model.

Absolutely loved this. The bosses, the movement, the music, everything was so much fun. Best use of the theme I've seen so far, and I loved how you only had 1 HP the whole time, it made everything feel so tense so it was extra satisfying to beat all 3 bosses 

thank you for your valiant effort in making this game

5/5 for everything! What an amazing game, its take on the theme and the boss designs are so good! The only thing I'd nitpick would be the tapping left click for the shotgun! My index finger really hurts after spending a good hour or two laser-focused, trying to beat all 3 at fast as I could!

I dont even know what this ascetic is called and it feels like it will haunt me in my dreams but i fucking love it. 5/5 i have a headache from spinning for 30 minutes

For some reason your game crashes on startup, does it save log files somewhere so I can send it to you?

Developer(+1)

the game uses Vulkan, if your GPU doesn't support Vulkan, that could be the problem.

otherwise, i've added the debug export of the game as a download:

debug_mightworkiftheotheronecrashes.exe

if you have the courage to try again, try that exe.

thank you regardless for the valiant effort

Submitted

I tried the new exe, same thing. If so, a laptop with nvidia 940mx. I'll try it on my computer this weekend. The main thing is not to forget...

Holy this game is peak. This game feels very "Cruelty Squady"

The pace is fast and the bosses are simple, but fairly difficult.

Had tons of fun even when I died.

Submitted(+1)

That was really tough, but fun! The fact that you die in one hit and have to start over adds a real challenge.

And the bosses? Absolutely wild — JoJo references, a weed joint, and a modern Baba Yaga’s hut (those jumping attacks were dangerous!). I loved how each one had a unique moveset, behavior, and pacing. At times, it was a bit easy to get lost in space, but thanks to the fixed camera on the boss, it never became a real issue.

I also want to highlight the really interesting way of gaining speed with the lasso. It felt unique and super cool — something I haven’t seen before!

And thanks for the option to choose bosses from the menu (I admit, I couldn’t beat the joint and the hut, but I did try them all!)

Great game! 😊

Game is good controls are well designed the only thing that I wish would be to not get killed in the first damage.  Overall it's fun to play the game.

Edit: Microsoft Edge was giving me the CRDOWNLOAD error, using Firefox the game works fine!!

I can't play your game unfortunately :( Tried to download it 3 times and each time it says the file type is CRDOWNLOAD, which after googling means it is an incomplete file or something? It seems like a really neat game too, wish it would load for me

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

all files downloaded from a chromium browser are CRDOWNLOADs while they are downloading in-progress. you most likely have a caching issue, or some odd bug going on with your computer.

if you have the courage to try again, i would attempt to clear your browser's cache (or try a different browser), restart your computer, pray to the gods above, and PRESS...THAT...BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

thank you regardless for the valiant effort

It worked brotha, thanks for the info!


Absolutely love your take on the theme, the lasso is a super fun mechanic and the way the camera spins around the boss rather than panning side to side it a wonderful touch. The game has a sick and unique aesthetic, although I wish it was a bit more optimized as it used 100% of the GPU on my potato laptop. The schmoovement in this game is wonderful and its super fun to spin around the enemy and shoot at shit. The jump is perfectly floaty. I have a skill issue and couldn't get past the first boss but I might return and try again later cause it was really fun. One criticism is that the first half of the first boss there is no reason to use the lasso, its much more efficient to just stand in place and shoot the boss head on while jumping over his attacks. The second phase where he has armor makes you use the lasso which is good. It was also very frustrating to get hit by the orb attacks when they were outside my field of view, which happens frequently when you are spinning around and lose sight of them. This is a dope entry with great controls and you absolutely nailed the theme. Great job bro, keep it up!!!

Wowwwwwww, My mind is blown with this game! The Lasso mechanic is so original, it's smooth as butter, aesthetically pleasing, the visuals and the sound match perfectly... I don't know what else to say.. Congratulations to everyone involved in this project, it's awesome! My favorite in this jam so far!
