Very cool and fun game, it needs a bit of balance, but is still really enjoyable.

Winter: The tale of a flameThis was really fun.
I'll admit, I almost gave up at level 2 when the melee robots came in, because of the bug they seemed impossible to kill without losing a ton of HP. But I realized if you get real close they don't hurt you at all, so I continued playing. I'm really glad I did because I had a bunch of fun and ended up beating it.
I really like the artwork all around. I'm a sucker for glowy Tron lines. And I really appreciated that I could change my character's hair and shirt colors. The sword swing effects were really cool too. I didn't get all of the upgrades but the shotgun was fun to use.
If there's any feedback I could give, I would say the sword felt a little weak. It seemed like it was always the better option just to wait for my gun to cool down, especially after upgrading. I would say maybe add some helpful effect to the sword, like maybe the ability to reflect bullets or something, to keep it relevant even after upgrading your gun.
Honestly though, really good work!
If you have a minute, I would also really appreciate checking out my team's game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929213

Junk SlamWow thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the art, and I spent hours rigging up the character customization xD
But yeah, the katana does a percent of an enemies health, and it gets weaker every level. There wasn't much time to balance it so I just threw some damage numbers in and hoped it worked.
Anyway I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and thanks for the feedback!
For one week challenge it's just amazing, it's a fully developed shoot em up with a shop system.Moreover, you can even go full ninja witha a mecha katana.

ExtraterrestrialCheeseReally fun game, the blaster cooldown doesn't really ever get reached from my time playing it. Very good art with solid music to match it, great job.

the sound effects are really good . really nice pixel art graphics too!
one thing i would say is make the bullet size a bit larger and pls dont make the gun overheat so fast. because then its going to be difficult to play

Orphans of GodWow, I really liked the sound effects. I finally got passed those melee bots eventually too. Visuals were cool too but I think larger bullets would be good but that is a personal preference. Good job!

School of FISHNice Graphics and sound design. A lot of weapons to use which makes the game much more playable. Feel a bit weak of the theme combination but still have fun :D, which is the ultimate purpose of a game!

The Last CoupleReally fun game. The only issue I had was that the melee enemies were doing damage to me when I was nowhere near them. Other than that it was really fun to play and just shoot the enemies. Good job.

Urban PropensityReally enjoyed the art detail in this game. Gameplay was fun too. I had a few collision bugs, i got stuck and couldn't move the player in certain locations. Overall great entry

Tag-Team DefenseI couldn't play much of the game since I didn't have the right screen resolution, but what I was able to play was amazing!
-The graphics look awesome and the gameplay didn't feel too bad.
-I like the idea of your gun overheating instead of ammo, it keeps me from just shooting all the time.
-I also really liked the screen transitions and storytelling
Overall, it felt pretty polished and fun to play

Stronger TogetherSeems like melee enemies are bugged, they attacks character even when they are not close to him, so I couldn't progress further than level 3.
However, variety of weapons was cool and the 'ultimate' powerup felt really satisfying, good job!

Workbot DuoMy god this is just...delicious looking. Amazing artstyle, amazing music, a lot of text which is fine, I'm just too lazy to read.
Really nice! Add oil!

Rock RammerThis game was awesome and the story awesomeX2 i hope u work on it after the jam it deserves a good rating and please do check out my game as well :)

No Fusions AllowedVery good looking and atmospheric game, nice audio, it shows that a lot of work went into this! The text in the intro should be a lot shorter and more concise I'd say, the idea of a letter as an introduction works really well otherwise.

AmalgamatedThe katana slices made me so happy! I love upgrade systems like this and the choice of different weapons was a really nice element. Makes it so that it's not repetitive.
