This was actually quite fun and enjoyable. All the weapons were very funny and fun to use. It was quite addicting as well. However I felt the hit detection wasn't always up to the mark. And while the self destruct was fun it was a little too easy to end up crashing into enemies. It's a fun little game none the less and you could maybe expand on it with you're own sprites and characters. Good job man :)
Dang your game has a little bit of everything xD It was fun, I kept restarting just to see what new attack I'd get haha.
I just rated your great game! Thank you very much for watching the stream yesterday!
I would appreciate it if you could check out my game too!
Thanks for playing and rating it! Sure I'll check it out
Great game! I love the randomness of the guns, it adds a lot of variety of gameplay! Had lots of fun!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed playing it :)
A fun take on the theme and enjoyable to play :) The variety of different weapons is great and I like the pixel art graphic style. With a bit of visual polish this could be really awesome! Nice job :)
Thanks for your review!
I loved the weapons in the games, everyone is unique and fun to use. I'm waiting for a more polished version.
Very fun game, one of the best timed weapon games. Nice variety with the weapons/powers. Maybe and some invincibility frames after some of the transformations, died too many times. :D
Polish up the graphics a bit and you have a real winner! Good job!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it! I agree, and i think that giving you a small timer where you know when your weapon is gonna disappear or what weapon you're gonna get would have helped a lot
Interesting weapon change mechanic, and some cool looking NES-style graphics!
Quite the deal!
A really fun and enjoyable game. I can't believe it was made in 48hours! Keep up with the good work!!
Really cool game! The weapon variety is insane, great job!
Really cool game! There is creativity and good execution in each weapon!
I played the game just like you asked me to and I have absolutely no regrets! I really enjoyed playing this game! I really enjoyed messing around with all the random weapons that you were able to get! What I personally really like about this game is the fact that the weapons are so different from each other and yet they are all very effective and fun to use! A lot of games usually have weapons like pistols, shotguns, swords, bows, hammers. While this game has a huge snake, a fire demon, self destruction, a green shell, thunderbolts, etc. I personally think that's what makes this game stand out from other ones and I absolutely love that! Great job! ;D
Andy-R , like your video and the way you think about the games you played. I'd love to see what you think of my micro game.

Your game is super fun! I love all of the weapons like the green shell. All of the weapons feel unique and special. I enjoy the arena combat of the game, it makes everything close quarters and super intense. I also appreciate you showing where enemies will spawn, that makes the entire game far better in my opinion.
If you wanted to continue to build, some sort of health system would be nice. The one hit kill seems kind of brutal. Maybe you could experiment with levels with a set type of enemy. Between levels the player could spend some score on new weapons. You could have the traditional progression tree or a random weapon giver.
This game is fun already and has tons of potential. I can't wait to see what you do with it in the future. Best of luck on the jam and with your future game dev projects!
how do you only have 36 ratings?!
this game is phenominal! straight into my favorites list!
my favorite weapon is the lightsaber.
it would be cool if you had some kind of in-game tutorial (or grace period before starting the action to allow the player to get acclimated to the controls). one option is to fill the room with harmless dummies or NPCs that start spawning the other enemies once they are killed.
very cool game!
Thanks for your review! I agree, i could maybe add a "death reason" when you die so that you can understand the reason cause its sometimes vague, maybe in a post-jam update! Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate it! And if you know how to get ratings plz help :)
i have no idea lol. ur game has more ratings than mine
Great game, lots of fun. You should definitely keep working on this if you have the time.
Really liked this game ! I hope it is furthered developed in the near future !!
I really enjoyed this game!
Very smart concept: simple to understand yet not easy to reach a high score, making the game even more interesting, challenging and catchy 👌
The swapping, graphics and soundtrack are really cool, keep up the good work!
Very original and well executed concept!
Would have liked a visual guide on the bomb to show the radius, as right now it's a bit hard to tell.
All the weapon types were fun to use and there weren't any "dud" weapons.
Great submission!
I love it! I'm so going to play this more to git gut at it!
This was a lot of fun! I'd like to see this turned into a longer game.
The only criticisms I have are the kinds of things you'd expect from a jam: running into enemies right after Green Shell ends, for instance.
Good job 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed playing it! I agree with you, i should have added a small signal that your weapon will start/end. Thanks for your time and feedback!
