How does you game fit the theme?
My game hits the theme in several ways. First of all, it is based on Egyptian mythology which isn't real. Also, my game is about trying to obtain a Sporfe (a spork with a knife), which doesn't exist. Finally, at the end of my game, the player discovers that there is no Sporfe and it is in fact just a myth.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code; however, I only made the characters, silverware, enemy bullets, and silverware ui. I got the tile set from https://0x72.itch.io/dungeontileset-iifrom and edited the color. I got the hearts from https://swooshwhoosh.itch.io/heartsui.

your game features in my video
Thanks! Just in case you were wondering, I fixed the lag issue and will update the game after the jam. Music s on my to-do list!
nice retro feel, I like how you can switch your weapons. Could use some music though...
I think this is pretty cute graphics which I do like. Reminds me of Zelda.
I think you should keep working on this, reduce the lag and add sound!
I played all the way through and can verify that the sporfe is beast and worth fighting the waves of enemies for, don't give up guys >:)
The lore is great in this. Unfortunately the game started lagging quite badly when a large number of bullets were on screen. I saw you said in another comment that this is due to each bullet checking for collisions. It may be faster to have the player instead check for the collisions with the bullets. I was enjoying this otherwise. I love the players little bounce instead of a walk cycle.
Fun game. Shame it doesn't have any music - I think some Egyptian vibes would be a fresh sound!
Hilarious concept, and I love the SPORFE. The thing that tripped me up is that the forks only do damage when you're really close--I'd like them to disappear when they reach their damage radius. But very funny and unusual!
Thanks! The forks should do damage however far you are. My idea was that you would have to put one right behind a spoon, but I’m reality you can’t consistently do it fast enough
Edit: yes I also thought of him about halfway through.
i like this. Very fun.
Great game! It was really fun to shoot forks, ha-ha!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
Fun game, but as other(s) have said, the game gets very laggy near the end. Do those projectiles ever despawn? (that's just my wild guess of why it is happening)
They do despawn. I saw something that said I might fix it by just hiding and disabling them. I think most of the lag is from the bullets constantly monitoring if something enters their hitbox.
Great concept but the lag would make it hard to play towards the end.
The concept is good! Too bad about the lag spikes, and I don't love having to click for each individual projectile. I like the humor :)
Cool game with cute characters, I think the lag has something to do with the projectiles the enemies shoot. Some improvements would be checkpoints and another background than just grey so it would look more like an Egyptian temple.
Good job! Would be awesome if you could check out my game as well!
Thanks. Yes, I think the lag is with the projectiles too. I’ve been looking into ways to fix them, but won’t be updating until after the voting is over so that everything is fair. The other things you suggested were just the result of my procrastination and running out of time.
If there are too many projectiles the game starts to lag.
Your game was super fun!! Sadly tho, maybe it was my computer, but the last level had too much lag for me to be able to play it to the end. But still, what I managed to play was super fun!
Cute little game, it needs a small polish and bugfixes, but i liked it!
The game is an interesting concept and as someone who likes mythology I really liked that part! Am i correct in that there is no audio? By the way, it starts to get very slow the further you get with the number of spoons and forks and enemy's attack objects flying all over the place. Some animations would have also been cool. I thought the game was very creative!
Rated, love the graphics!
Thanks. Though I only made the characters and silverware. The tiles set is just a recolored free one and the hearts are also someone elses.
Nice game loved it!
Cool concept, I like the idea of obtaining legendary silverware.
However, the game does drop its frame rates every time I encounter enemies.
Thanks. Ya, I know about the frame rate drop. I ran out of time trying to figure out how to fix it.
