Little too difficult, but I like the game overall. Well done :)

This is so neat and works well. I hope you'll continue adding to it in the future. I went through wave 4 or 5 before I stopped, but I could keep playing this all day. It reminds me of Robotron: 2084.
Upgrades and different maps in a complete build?

The UncouplingNice game, good polish, I feel like it needs a bit more juice, more screen shake etc to feel a bit more satisfying as your shoot down the enemies, but other than that it's good fun, good correct use of collision boxes and pleasing game loop! Nice clean use of pixel style as well!

Magnet DashA lot of good polish on this game. I liked the mechanics and only being able to shoot some enemies in certain modes. I also like that enemies go after your body when you're a ghost, so you don't feel safe splitting if there are both types of enemies around. The one big suggestion I would make is to have it so the enemies can't enter the space of your body so if you get touched you can quick jump back to your body and run away easier. The other one I can think of is to put a zone around the player where things can't spawn because it's no fun to have a bad guy spawn already hurting you. But really fun game, great work!

Fade AwayI love the Arcade feel, and the nice implementation of theme into the chaotic mess of fast-paced movement and shooting, also the art, you gotta teach me how you make such great art, this is such a polished game, it's great!

Twine & SwerveWoo! I'm a great knight! I think this is the most polished game I've seen from this jam, and definitely one of my favourites overall. The "tutorial" at the beginning is a lovely touch.
If I have one quibble, it's that returning the spirit to the soul to the body seems to take just a smidge longer than I'd like given that enemies can spawn more or less on top of you: it feels as though the delay to control your body is about as long as the grace period when enemies first appear on screen, so you're almost guaranteed to take damage if you get unlucky with their placement. But there's enough health available that it's not overly frustrating to lose a point here and there in that way. Great work!

Nine Hole NinjaCongrats on beating the game! I intentionally make a delay before you move when separating to highlight the effect of the soul separating / combining. What I might change after this jam is to add more delay before the enemies actually move and hurt you. (Enemy Spawn) So players will have more time to react. Anyways, thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
That would be great! There were definitely occasions where I'd been too busy shooting to notice new enemies, and that's my bad. It's only really when one spawns right on top of you, you think "Uh-oh!" and immediately return to your body, then take damage anyway that might benefit from a tweak to the timing involved.
Super polished and well made game! The mechanic is great and the gameplay loop is enjoyable. Great work!

Fruit Split AdventureMade it to level 8 - it was tough. But what a great piece of work! I am impressed.
You implemented the meaning of the theme so well and intelligent. The graphics are an eye candy. There are tactic and arcade elements. The gameplay is smooth and the rules are self explaining.
The cherry on top would be some fun music. But hey, for me the game is simply perfect!

Separate'n BindNice choice of colors, it really stands out beautifully! I love how the different vulnerabilities are explained in the tutorial room, making sure you understand everything and get some practice before jumping into the game. Overall, it's very solid! Great work!

Door-Monster-TreasureReally great and innovative game! Love the art style very much! It's quite difficult for me though :)

Splitted SoulA retro shooter game with an interesting idea of separating body and spirit. The animation is fluid, it is not difficult to understand because the short tutorial explains everything right away. It's quite difficult. I managed to get to wave 6, but beyond that it was too difficult for me. I like pixelart. The ghosts remind me of the ghosts from Pacman. Maybe it would be good to introduce points and a leaderboard so it would be more competitive.

GarbageThe split mechanic is well done...
I suggest you to add a difficulty option to help the novice players...
Add a color blind mode too...
Good job! <3
