Really cool game! I loved the elements on the characters that gave feedback on their health! I think even though you had really simple graphics you made them work and made it look super clean! Nice interpretation of the theme! Good job!

Crazy CabsI'm so sad that this game lacks so much polish! (don't get me wrong, it's not bad but it could be soo much more). The gameplay idea / core mechanic alone is in my top 10 games i have played (and i have played 100+). With a bit more "umph" this could have been In my top 10 games as well! I hope we'll see more of you in the next GMTK jam.

Weapon[Index]Good fun game!
I did feel like the game would almost work better as a conventional twin-stick bullet hell game where you actually have control of where you shoot. But that wouldn't fit the theme :P (what I'm looking for is more speed and action I think)
There are definitely ways to make the random direction mechanic work well though I just don't have the solution for how to make it great. :)

MetroVisionGood execution on the idea of a twin stick where the player don't control the shooting. The feedback to know where the player is gonna shoot next is sometime missing on those game, which make it unfair.
Music is well chosen, didn't really see any bug, so good job overall !

Auto ShootI love the presentation of this one, but the shooting happens too slowly for me! Maybe if it fired 2-3 shots before changing direction?
Good job otherwise

The Pit And The Double PendulumI have seen many games that just randomize input but they tend to be more annoying than fun. Yours is fun, because the arrow changing all the time makes you move constantly. You want to be close to the enemy because that allows you to be on their right side quickly in order to shoot them, but that's also risky because you have less reaction time if they shoot. Really good implementation of such a simple concept ;)
Also, pretty minimalistic but completely functional, snappy and polished. Loved the particle effects to signal destroyed enemies, good job!

Dropletsa small concept but very well-polished. i really like the feedbacks and flow of the game. a small suggestion would be to put in some indicator when the next shoot will be, maybe just the rythm of the song or something like that, i feel like that would feel nice idk :D great game tho!

Real Estate RescueOk, so i would love it if the shooting was faster :)
I like that the player sprite is also shows the amount of HP.
I also miss the anticipation of the shoot.
Bu i really had fun playing it

This Urchin KitqAbsolutely love the enemies changing shapes to represent their health, such a simple but visually clear way to represent it! Overall a nice concept and very well executed, my only suggestion is that I which there was some visual indicator of how long it is till the next shot fires, be it a timer or some bar building. Really great job!

Missing PartsVery well done. Game is simple and polished with no need for an explanation of what you are doing or why.

Weapon RampageI like this game! I've seen a lot of games in this jam with the same idea, but this one adds a direction indicator for the next shot which adds a lot more strategy!
The minimalist graphics are nice and the gameplay feels smooth and response. The gameplay stage felt a bit too small for me, making things unnecessarily hard at times --- but this is a very minor things. Great work!

SprawlI really like the clean visual style, however in the end I found the slowness of the shooting frustrating. I feel like this would've been more fun if the pace you shoot in had also varied, or you could've controlled that yourself. I did like how enemy and player health were visually communicated really minimalistically. Thanks for making this!
What I weirdly like is that you can play it with only one hand making it for me easier to play (I have a paralysed right arm ;) )!
So 10/10 for accesability!

Square WorldNicely done.
I can't go past 10 though ^^'

The minimalist background is a nice touch.
