As someone already pointed out, it's a bit strange that there is no reason to unequip the gun. But hey, we all know the time pressure in this jam, I think this is at least a really cute prototype, well done :)

PS: The Shadow really hates Right Click, my game crashed immediately xD

Developer(+1)

Thanks! You're right, the uselessness of the ability to unequip the gun is the result of time pressure. It would have been important. But anyway, thank you for playing and leaving such positive feedback!

[Yeah, right clicks really ruin Shadow's day ;)]

Hey, I second the comment below me about shadow and shooting non stop. Web version didnt work but we had problems with that also. Nice attempt and I liked the neon shiny colors. 

Developer

We're so glad you liked the neon prison! Me and the artist were wondering how people would like that. The shooting nonstop is something I should have fixed. The ability to unequip Shadow as a gun is a remnant of a cut system. But anyway, thanks for playing and leaving feedback!

I always fast click on the mouse through all game and beat all turrets before seeing it))) And also I think that walk without a shadow is useless but nevermind and good luck in the next jams.

Developer

Well, obviously a fix is in order! But in all seriousness thanks for letting me know. I was wondering if anyone would take the easy way and destroy the turrets from afar. And you're also right that currently the only use for regular turtle mode is to look like a cute turtle. So it's useless. Remnant of a cut system. Thanks so much for playing and giving feedback! I really appreciate it.

The WebGL does not work for me. Maybe you can try "Decompression Fallback: TRUE" in the player settings / other

Developer

Yeah I'm planning on fixing that after rating time ends. Thanks for letting me know!

Played the windows version. Maybe I missed something, but I see no reason to not equip the shadow as a gun.

Developer

Yeah you're right. You didn't miss anything. Originally there was more depth to the gunplay, but most of it was cut towards the end. The ability to unequip the gun was a remnant of the system. Still, thanks for playing and leaving feedback!

The animations broke pretty easily, however the graphics and the theme were really great. I wasn't able to conquer the game, but it seems like if it had a bit longer it could be really good. It really matches the spirit of the jam though. And you're not wrong, shadow really does hate right clicks haha.

Developer (1 edit)

The artist was happy to hear you liked the art! And yeah, some more polish would have really helped the animations. But thanks for playing the game and leaving feedback! [Yeah, Shadow really hates right clicks ;)]

I love the art icon for the game but the web browser version doesn't work.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! If you're able to and on Windows you can download the game too.

Submitted

Unfortunately I'm not on windows so I can't play or rate it . Maybe you should take down the web build if that's allowed by the rules and just specify that its for windows. Seems like a cool game though, good job!

Submitted

cant play it on web browser bro! but is really fun!. also you could limit the bullets or something if you spam it you'll never die xD!.

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you had fun! And also I'm glad you told me the browser version isn't working, I thought it was just on my computer. I'll remember that for future reference. And I really appreciate the tip about an ammo count, definitely will do in the future. Anyway, thanks for playing (and for the helpful feedback)!

yeah is the compression bro you should modify the compresion to gzip or none!. also you could check if you have webgl v1.0 active too that could be the issue too.

Developer(+1)

I read in the Discord somebody said the same thing, I definitely should have listened then. Gzip or none, and webgl 1.0, writing that down. Thanks for telling me, and more so for being specific too!
