As many have mentioned, this can be very successful as a phone game! It's amazing how much details and polish you put in as well.

Drill the holesI like the visuals and the sound. It is also really cool that there is a high score list.

Shield Guyvery polished game, i liked almost everything about it, mechanics were innovative (atleast i've never played anything like it before) and most importantly - simple enough to jump right into it and have fun without walls of text explaining how it works which i value very highly in jam games. i think bats were little bit lackluster since i could just rush trough them and there wasn't any way for them to stop me so that made them trivial. (maybe them following player endlessly and being killable by traps would make them more relevant). also more expressive animations on monkey wouldn't hurt. music melody was great but instruments were too loud/chirpy and that's not my cup of tea.
well deserved 5 stars on theme and fun factors.

Unwanded & UnwantedThanks for the reply and feedback, it means a lot to us. Really glad you enjoyed it for the most part.
To be honest we kind of run out of time towards the end, i did have "IMPROVE BATS" on my todo list, but unfortunately just ran out of time :).
Would have liked to make them be killed by traps and such, I'm personally planning on spending the whole of today rating games in this jam but will be going back in next week to fix up some bugs and make some improvements. I will fix the bats there.
I'm still a beginner when it comes to pixel art, so animations are still something i need to improve on, thanks for the feedback.
I'll pass on the Audio feedback to Ryan our SFX guy!
Very nice art, visual effects and awesome sound design! I like how the animations give an indication on what is going to happen. It's a bit difficult and unforgiving at times but overall nice game :)
(also nice addition of an online scoreboard)

Whackey MolesEverything about this seems so polished, my only note is that the hitbox on the character seems a little unforgiving, but I absolutely adore this game.
