Nic game, had very much fun. Didn't quite get the slingshot mechanic. I tried to shot and then move with mouse fast as I can - maybe it did something, maybe not. But it was fun!

Developer

Thank you for your comment, we really wanted to include a tutorial to explain the main mechanic but were sadly out of time.

Nice game, I enjoyed the visuals and style a lot. The controls were a tad sensitive so would have been good to have the option to tone that down a bit. The combat was really enjoyable and I had a lot of fun catapulting myself into enemies.

Developer

Thank you very much for your nice feedback, and yes we would have loved to add in a sensitivity slider in the pause menu, but were way too short on time, in the end, we´re definitely going to add that in a future update after the jam.

✔️ Nice modelling and visuals.

✔️ Quick respawn time allowed me to get right back into the action.

➖ The mouse was a bit sensitive.

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback, we really appreciate it
We will definitely add a sensitivity slider to the pause menu once the Jam´s rating time is over

The biggest issue for me was that after dying there was no option to restart, and when trying to play again the game didn't work. But it does look nice and I like the theme. I just can't judge it because there's too many issues at the moment.

Developer

Becouse we almost were unable to upload the game becouse time ran out we forgot to put in any control explanation. If you press the Spacebar you should be able to respawn after dying. Sorry for the confusion!

Love the low poly 3D art! The landscape looks awesome

This is a fun idea, and being able to launch yourself around with the gun is super fun. However, the really high sensitivity and lack of a reticle make it hard to aim, and as there isn't any explanation as to how enemies are killed, it feels like the first two "missions" were completed mostly by accident as I figured out what was happening with the gun. With some better aiming, as well as a clearer purpose of the gun from the start, this could easily be a speedrun-worthy game. Good job :)

Developer

Thank you so much for the compliments! We hope to release a cleaner version of the Game after the Game Jam is done!
