Very interesting concept! I think this is the first game of its kind that I have seen in the jam.

Hi fishyladerino!

I loved the visuals in this game! I played through and got to a boss that killed me, but then on my second playthrough no enemies spawned for me to fight!

I think the first step in improving the game would be to add some sort of secondary attack or block mechanic so the player has options when fighting the hordes.

Good start though! The art style is really cool. Good luck in the jam!

Best,

Wicked idea, with great implementation, art reminds me of Blackthorn's style, this is definetly a banger. Great job!

Hello!

Great idea with the collective health thing, especially for a swarm. It had a good design and a nice difficulty curve. The art was also nice, reminiscent of the Binding of Isaac. 

The audio had some issues - I think the music loop can get a bit repetitive, and in there menu music and on certain attacks that is a "click" - this is when a sound file either loops wrong or when the audio tail has been cut off not at 0 db- it's super easy to fix but is noticable. 

Overall good use of theme, and clear UI!

Really interesting idea.

This was a cool idea! I don't think I've seen this sort of collective health thing before, but it's really interesting. I liked the hand drawn visuals, I think that was a really nice style to go with, especially the main menu, that was done well. The game was pretty clear and easy to learn how it worked.

Some little things to note are that sometimes the enemies could spawn on top of you, which was a little bit annoying. Also, next time PLEASE make sure the sounds are at a reasonable level, that scream made me hit my knee on my desk.

With a little more polishing, I think that this would be really cool if expanded on! Good job!

Really interesting idea. I think fixing the known bugs and then adding a little more game feel would really help (screenshake, etc). One minor complaint, but it would be nice if you can hold down to shoot instead of needing to keep clicking. Just a small accessibility thing though and not needed for a game jam, haha. Good job!

Very nice and simple idea. It was short which is fine for 48 hours. The more enemies there are, the easier it is to hit something so maybe after a while, the enemies can't be shot anymore? Like the hide in a shell. Great game. Eager to see how far you go with it.

I like the concept of the shared health pool. I think this would be an excellent game to play with a controller. I think larger enemy variety would also be a nice addition, but I liked what was available. The art style really works well with the concept. Great job!

Neat artwork, I enjoyed the game too.  I think you've got a cool idea with the joined health pool.  I suggest you add some more "juiciness" to the game with some screen-shake or iframes.  Overall, good job :)

I dig the game, the art is creepy yet pleasing. You did a good job setting the tone for the game.

Nice idea and I like the art, good job!

man... If those bugs were fixed this game would be perfect!

Short simple game, pretty good! I appreciate the artwork and the music, and the gameplay is enjoyable. I wish the game was a bit more responsive towards my actions (like the healthbar). otherwise good game!

Good idea, the game itself is pretty short but it's fine. I like the art style, it looks good. I wasn't quite sure what's going on in the beginning but then I realized what the enemy health bar is just not working correct, not a big deal honestly. Overall the game is good. Well done!

I like the artstyle, and the idea of the shared health bar is a good idea

After the giant spider died, enemies stopped spawning so I guess I finished it. I love the artstyle!

A enjoyable game the game, I like the artstyle. I could move off the screen, even while playing in fullscreen mode. Maybe adding some empty gameobjects with box colliders at the edges of the screen could limit the player movement to solve this. Overall a fun experience, well done!
