The game has some appealing aspects and enjoyable mechanics, though there's room for further refinement. It's a decent experience, and with some enhancements, it could become even better. Keep up the good work!

I like the different items you use to survive.

I love the mechanics of the various things you can pick up (especially the boomerang and boot)! The fact that they drop periodically like in Smash Bros kept things interesting, too, because your strategy would have to adapt from time to time. 325, is that a decent score? Lol. Thanks so much for sharing!

WOW! That was so much fun! I especially liked the boomerang mechanics, it was so satisfying to catch it when it came back :) Very unique gameplay, maybe the most unique i've played all jam! I loved it. The art was also FANTASTIC. Only thing it needed was some music/sound but it was still soooo good!

cute game! took me a second to realize that I could move since it only looked like Z and X were the controls. The mechanics of the rock and boomerang were interesting and fun! great job on the submission!

Developer

Thanks for pointing out the inputs. I realize the movement instruction is missing from the title screen, my mistake XD Thank you so much for playing!

Normally I am not a big fang of pixel art, but in this case, it was good and fit the mood. Thanks - nice one!

cool game like the art work. the sound was really low for me for some reason but it was fun !

Developer

Thanks for pointing out the audio! It may be due to a hardware issue on my end while in development. The old computer I had used to when making the game tends to fluctuate in volume randomly, so I'm thinking I just reduced the volume too much in the software to compensate.  Going forward I'll make sure volume sliders are up and running at the start of future projects, it seems like a good practice to get into :P  Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing!
