Toilet Paper Buying Simulator

1. Does this game take place during the early phases of covid when everyone needed toilet paper? I have no idea what Poly is or why I wanted to smash face to get it, but it happened!

2. this game is a ton of fun. You get to constantly attack and smash enemies. Games like this in gamejams often fail because the attack range is too short and enemies are too abusive and swarm you so you die easily, there is rarely proper balance in these beat em up or vampire survivor style games where it's too easy to die. This game circumvents all of that with a really clever shield mechanic. as far as I can tell your weapon grants you an immunity shield bonus no matter what hits you as long as your swinging, dealing damage and taking damage chips away at this shield, but your health stays in tact. This allows you to keep the smashing fun up without dying! Then you simply need to find another weapon/shield to keep going. Each weapon is the same which is nice so there's not too much surprise just the core mechanics. I played this game on mousepad so i didnt even realize you could throw weapons lol i beat it that way by standing over enemies when swarms of them came at me.

Despite everything I just said, this doesn't make the game any easier, you need to make sure there are weapons nearby, you need to have the resources to beat an enemy swarm, it took me a few tries to beat this game.

3. The movement is nice, the attacking his nice game controls well

4. The enemy AI is great, they have a variety of attacks including leaping at you which is an awesome animation

5. the sound design in this game is PHENOMENAL, all of the sounds are MEATY and CHUNKY. First there is the running of the enemy shoes, its a very loud threatening sound that strikes fear in you, to hear a ton of these clattering foot steps during a swarm actually made me tense up. The weapon smack sounds are great too.

6. On one run I died right at the exit, i tapped 'e' instead of holding and I died, I thought I could get out without fighting

7. The gamejam theme is on display here. When the whistle sounds and the footsteps pound like a storm you know you are in for a real fight!

High marks given, great game

Once again - glad to see you here! This one was unusually different from your previous jam entry :)
I enjoyed smashing these zombies in the mall. Visuals and audio are top! I like variety in enemy attacks which not allow player to relax too much. Random generation not allow just to remember the optimal route and forces you to react to environment which is cool.

Some feedback:
- I wish there were more visual clues on when you were hit or when your weapon is about to break, like I would like to throw my weapon once it's almost dead but it's hard to follow zombies, road you must go and weapon endurance bar at the same time
- I would place some items near the "goal" to allow player "clean up" the area once you get there. Right now it leads to backtracking and gathering weapons to kill zombies before triggering the "press E" event
- To think more, I'm actually not sure why throwing exists because my main tactic was to grab weapon, smash around until it almost break, throw it and take another one. If it's preferable tactics so it might be more convinient to just throw weapon automatically once it's breaks. I know what there are different weapons but gameplay wise I didn't feel urgent "find exactly this one to help me with this problem"
- Another think I would like is to have some time and space to get used to weapons and combat system. Zombies are fast at the beginning and will eat you without a doubt. Maybe decrease speed of enemies at the beginning before first trigger or something. Those running creeps making me stressing so I just starting smashing them not trying to think about weapon differences and experimentations :)

But despite this feedback wall I really liked game and will keep for "after jam" to play around a little bit more :)

This game hard and is not very rewarding, the objects need one throw to be destroyed, the enemies need a bit more, once i get to the place and pressed e i didn't get what's happening, whether i won or not. Nevertheless, after two attempts the game quits itself.  Nevertheless, throwing objects to crowds of them is kind of fun, but there was no calm in this sense, so i'm in two minds about this one!

i liked this a lot, but the lagspikes in webGL is a major issue. i obviously dont know what caused them, but i expect you're doing something like loading the character sprite when you instantiate them?
