Nice Game, really enjoyed playing this one, fun although it did have a bit of a difficulty curve, I think maybe in the first few rooms a few fewer enemies would have made it a bit easier as I struggled to get past them. Otherwise an excellent game :).

Developer

Thank you so much! I really need to fine tune the game more after the jam is over haha.

Beating this was satisfying, bit of a learning curve. Nice!

Developer

Thank you!

Very fun and challenging! I love the cute pixel characters and floaty magic wand. The controls feel really good. I wish there was a way to make permanent progress. To get stronger I had to die, but that also decreased my health/number of lives which made it much easier to get a game over. It was easy to get overwhelmed with the number of bullets on screen too and I kept getting cornered, even when I was fully upgraded and trying to shoot the bullets to kill them.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! Sorry if the game is too difficult I didn't have any time to fine tune towards the end. Also I really enjoyed playing your game definitely one of my favorites in this game jam!

Music was a tab too loud and I did experience a couple of sprite layering issues, but, I really enjoyed the art style and the game was really fun to play! Beat it on my first try so I'm really happy with that :)

Thanks so much for playing! Towards the end of the game jam I basically scrambled to finish the game haha. I didn't have enough time to play test hence the music being loud and some of the sprite not layering correctly lol. I am really glad you enjoyed playing it!

Great gam and really addicting, but the music is a bit loud.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Sorry about the music!

Fun game. Fits the theme and the music is fun.

Only thing i would change is the enemy health. They feel a little too tanky at times and it would make the gameplay alot more fluid and fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I agree with you about changing some of the enemies health. Originally the plan was for the tanker enemies to swarm up close to the player but I wasn't able to finish the AI script completely.

Really nice game, fits perfectly with the theme! Compliments

Developer
