Enjoyed playing this, liked the multiple endings. Didnt complete the game tho. Sometimes the arrow for the aim would disappear if mouse was too low, and would be nice to adjust the angle until I left go of the button... maybe speed up the shooting and reloading

Also, congrats on the Game Jam result, you scored fantastically in every category!
I liked the pixel art style and animations !
The only complain I would have is that in kinda feel slow to go through a wave
Thanks mr. Pectorel, I am glad you liked the pixel art style and animations since they was the things that took the most time to do.

Good game! I really like the music I think it fits perfectly. The art/animation and effects are really nice too. The story to set the pace of the game works well. Awesome job, congrats!
Thank you so much AlextheDev, I am honored you like my game and art, it really means a lot for me!

Very nice work, especially the artwork. Had hard times at the beginning to get the game mechanics because I thought I was able to adjust the angle while holding the mouse button. So I had to restart three times. An option to skip the death sequence would be a good addition to the game loop, be able to restart faster. My son would love to see rocks on the ground :) Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much BanzaiSoftware!
Your suggestion is great, and it is already added in the new update that will be released after the end of ratings period! Tell your son that his suggestion is taken in count :)
Thanks again for your feedback!

Nice work! Loved the story. Loved the rock throwing mechanic, just wish if I could change the angle after holding the click.

That's an interesting idea. Good luck!
The mechanics of throwing the rock at the right angle and intensity were cool, the controls felt pretty smooth, and I liked the way everything looked, nice job on it.
Thank you so much for your feedback, I am glad you like the controls and the game looking, I hope you enjoy the story as well :)
I checked your game and rated, it is so cool!

Wow I lost track of time testing this game out. Love the game mechanics and the story concept! Even the fact that you had different endings when you lost or held out was great. Great game, you're doing something right with this one!
Wow, I didn't expect someone would like my game this much, this just make me so happy :) and I am glad that you mentioned the multiple endings part in the game!
Thank you so much for your opinion and for liking my game, I hope you will play it again after the update I will make soon :

Wow can’t believe you made a huge update like this so quickly! Will definitely check it out though!
The animations are so smooth! And I love the way the player has to "dig around" to find rocks haha. Good story and unique gameplay!
Thank you so much, I am glad you liked the animations, and the story :)
I am checking your game :)
Fun little game. I liked the initial story setup and the ammo management components. I think it would be neat if you could shoot at power-ups that spawn in the air, to encourage trying different shooting angles. Good job!
Thanks! I am glad you like these details :)
And yeah, your idea is great, some powerups will sure push the gameplay further and make the game better, I will make sure to add some in the next update of the game!
