I liked the concept of constantly having to switch out weapons - heck, my entry to the jam is based on a similar concept - but I think it's missing a lot of enemy and weapon variety.
The guns feel very similar to each other, and only the Sword Gun is different due to being shorter ranged - there should be some guns that have different projectile movement, like gravity affected bullets. Similarly, the enemies need more variety, since all they do is either chase you or move forward. Even just adding a shooting version of the worm would help a lot.
I think also the level design also needs work? I didn't know there was a spawner at the bottom until it glitched and spawned infinite worms.
Still, overall, it's quite a good game, and I think it'd be a fantastic one with more polish and better music!
Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely consider all of it when improving the game after the jam
Great game! The interesting concept leads to fun gameplay, and I like the interpretation of the theme! The squash and stretch looked nice, and the wall hang was a nice addition! Good job!
Thank you!
This was really fun to play! The game was easy to play and being forced to pick a new weapon and figuring out how it worked kept the game interesting for a long time. The only thing I would add would be a way to see the health of enemies. I would love to see an expanded version with more enemies and weapon types!
That's great cause I want to add some of that after the jam!
Good job! The constantly switching guns is a neat idea. I think the collier for the smaller enemy (composed of 3 squares) is not implemented, as all bullets passed through that enemy specifically.
That’s pretty neat and fun, excellent work for a small window of time!
Liked the design & geometricness of this and the different weapons were a lot of fun. Cool interpretation of the theme!
Nice shooter game! I like the different types of guns too :)
Nice shooter game with different weapons.Nice job!
Fun to play, cool idea, good job! You can rate my game if you want

Very cool! The sword gun was my favorite lol.
Glad you liked it cause I kinda hated how it turned out lol
