Looks like a AAA game! The idea is fresh, and surprisingly challenging! Very impressive that this was made by a single developer.

That was really fun! At first I was really confused but then it clicked and was really enjoyable! And the art is great too! Simple and to the point!

I liked the fact that the enemy had more health than you, it meant that in an equal exchange of attacks, the enemy would come out on top. The health difference meant that you HAD to be better than your enemy and get more attacks in on them.
Though the health values might have been a bit too high haha. Once you figure out a strategy, the amount of health the enemy has becomes a lot more annoying because you're just repeating the same thing. imo, you could counter it in two ways: reduce both the player's and enemy's health by equal amounts (while this would make the game shorter, it would mean that once you figure out a strategy, you are rewarding with a quicker game end. also don't make them too much smaller, really small health would mean that a player could get a few lucky shots in an win! It's about finding the balance), alternatively, you could have the enemy go through attack 'stages' (this would naturally involve more work though)

I read some your comments and it's unfortunate that having asymmetric levels didn't work out, good job on trying though! But I would say that if the main problem you had was that once the positions were no longer symmetrical then the player could simply walk an enemy off the edge, then maybe you should make it such that they CAN'T fall off the edge! ...or even let them still fall off of the edge, it could be a quick reward for a player for figuring out that they could do that! Not every level idea needs to reused multiple times! (also I never even knew you could fall off of the edge haha)

To throw out some ideas that DON'T involve asymmetric obstacles:

• Have projectiles automatically fire, rather than be player controlled (you could have a countdown on one side). You could even have the countdown value change randomly in later levels! (Or maybe have it go with the beat of a song??). Doing this will take one aspect of control away from the player and force them to think a bit more on their feet!
• Asymmetric randomly placed (even randomly moving?) upgrades/health/mines! These 'pickups' will force the player to move in interesting ways. And they'll also have to be careful not to give the enemy any boosts!
• Similar to the above, maybe the arena itself has turrets that fire randomly occasionally! The player could try getting the enemy hit by the projectiles, but the projectiles would also get in the way of the enemy
• Different bullet types! A projectile that curved in sine-waves/circles/zigsag would add a bit of complexity to positioning that might cause some players to panic! (it wouldn't really change the strategy for more level headed players though, but it could still provide a bit of excitement!
• Enemy stages! I mentioned this above, but if you're only going to have one level, then maybe have the enemy aiming style change at certain levels of their health! (this 'change of stage' would need to be visualized so that the player knows that something is different and their strategy might not work anymore). The 1st stage could be much more random aiming, the 2nd could be more player position based, the 3rd could be position AND velocity based, the 4th could be sneaky and actually base itself on where the player is aiming (as an example, if the player is aiming 2 units left and 1 unit above the enemy, then the enemy will aim 2 units right and 1 unit below the player, plus a little randomness to keep it interesting/different every time)

~~ SPOILERS!!! ~~
Just so you know, the 'strategy' I figured out was:
1) Aim to the left of the enemy
2) Fire
3) Wait a split second
4) Move to the right (so that the enemy moves left and into my projectile)
By doing this I was able to avoid all damage while ensuring I hit the enemy. I had a friend that hasn't played too many games also try this and they ended up on this strategy on their first try!

Sorry for the essay! I just saw that you were interested in continuing to work on this game and I thought I'd try help! Also congrats on making this game, great job!
WOO making games!!!!

While the gameplay concept definitely needs some work, as others have pointed out, the presentation of your game is just stunning. Well done there!

I don't know, how really to improve on the gameplay without disturbing its nice simplicity.

I really like the visuals, too bad that the game itself isn't that fun but tedious... or is that the point? ... the futility of violence... men circling around shooting each other... congratulations! ... You did it... you killed a man... was it worth it? ... XD anyways, nice job!

Very interesting idea. It was a bit too straight-forward with how to get the enemy to just walk into your shot. My biggest issue is how much health the enemy has. But I loved the concept and look of it all!

First off the presentation and name are excellent! and I quite like the concept of the gameplay, but, I think it would really benefit from more strategic options, seemed to be there was just the one way to deal the enemy which was to move in one direction, shoot, then move in the other to walk the enemy into your shots, a few additions or changes and I think you could really amp up the fun and depth. Overall a solid entry, well done!

These visuals were made in this short period of time :O !? AMAZING.

Even the pause menu looks so clean.

Nice! Really like the art style. Found it pretty easy to shoot at a slight angle then move to the necessary angle, kiting around the enemy projectiles. The mechanic works really well though, and could be cool with some symmetrical obstacle levels, and changing the enemy shot pattern to be more difficult to dodge (i.e., instead of shooting one bit at you, it sprays three in a cone or something to that effect)

Fun game. I love the art and thinking how I'm going to position my player to attack. Although I'm not sure if you aware of this but the music seems to cut off after dying the first time. Overall, really neat idea.

Really great graphics! I especially like the subtle parallax, it really feels like the perspective on the background is changing. The falling leaves are a nice touch as well.

Neat concept, and it's on theme but different from most! I would love to see other level designs, especially asymmetric ones, but given the jam constraints that'd be hard at this level of graphics. More levels, with less damage to lose and win, would give it a lot more gameplay time and less repetitiveness;  I ended up just rocking left-to-right and shooting at the same place, gradually wearing the enemy down, total time played 3 minutes.

Overall, the prettiest game I've played in the jam so far, and one of the more novel ones.

I love the theme lol! Tho, once you find a strategy, the game becomes a bit repetitive in the movements.

WONDERFUL LEAF

As your name suggests, very nice graphics!

Combined with an unique Idea and mechanic 😊
