Really cool, especially for your first ever game! Controls feel tight and responsive and it's easy to play once you get to grips with dodging enemy attacks.
I like that you put quite a bit of effort into the story as well!
Really liked this, nice artwork and smooth controls and combat. Would only suggest more variety in wall textures and monsters but pretty solid game jam game with some good potential.
I like the art style. It feels like a comic book.
Hand farts take up too much of the middle of the screen. Its a bit distracting.
Great Job, tho.
Good job! loved the atmosphere and your first game ? well done dude
Really well made, everything was smooth and the shooting mechanic worked well. I think I did not really get, how the boss fight worked, but I killed it anyway. Good entry!
Was surprisingly enjoyable! Nice tight mechanic with shooting and dodging. Maze was not too hard to navigate and the boss fight was enjoyable, quite a surprise in a usually static combat genre! Well done!
I love this hands :D
Solid controls (though I wish there was input queuing). Level was well designed and even had a boss fight at the end.
Loved the color scheme and art work.
Cool booms
Pros:
"This game is very cool! The concept is engaging, and it's impressive that it was developed in justone week. It's definitely enjoyable to play, providing great entertainment."
Cons:
"One thing I would suggest improving is to make it a bit livelier. Adding more dynamic elements or enhancing the visual and audio effects could enhance the overall experience."
Overall impression:
"Despite the minor suggestion for improvement, this game is a great achievement. It's fun and showcases impressive development skills. Looking forward to seeing future updates!" :)

I loved this, especially the boss fight, which was a real highlight for me from an encounter design perspective.
The art is stunning, and it's so polished! I didn't spot a single issue or bug. For a first game, I think it's an outstanding achievement and you should be so proud of what you've achieved.
While I could try and pick out areas for improvement, I just don't see it as necessary. It held my attention and I finished the final fight with ~10% of my health left.
