Someone else mentioned it below that it seemed like some assets weren't loaded and it seems so for me too. I couldn't see any ground and ended up falling and then I didn't know what was going on and then I gave up after a few tries. I tried my best though. I like this mechanic of space shoots and jumps at the same time, maybe it could be improved by the jump shooting only one bullet so that each jump is a little more tactical / meaningful rather than just holding down spacebar for maximum destruction. Other than that, I really dig the shitty sound affects, the shitty art and the shitty story. But my favourite thing about this game is the shitty colour selection panel :D. Haha but seriously, nice work putting this together in such a short time, I wish the assets loaded properly so I could progress because it looks really cool in the screenshots.

Sure, right from the start there was stuff missing. Here's a couple of screenshots. https://imgur.com/a/OJPwg6K
The .exe file name cracked me up! I liked the fact that the robot moves, jumps, and shoots at the same time. However, I'm not sure if possibly some assets weren't loaded on my machine, but the robot sometimes stands on the air as if it were ground. Possibly an asset failure and the colliders are still there?
We also made a game for the jam, and would love to hear what you think about it!
If you think you have the courage & wits to help the Juan and Only Jelly Knight recover his human form, a worthy challenge awaits.
Don't forget to rate our game here!
