How does your game fit the theme?
You play as multiple "enemies" defending your castle with bad aim! (yes the vertical aim and side to side movement is on purpose to goof on enemy aim on "easy" mode) as it is being infiltrated by the "hero". You will be defeated once you deal damage, only to come back as another "enemy" deeper inside the Castle as the "Hero" progresses forward to save the Princess.

I would love to see this as a full game one day. It only needs a timer til next attack and a crosshair for aiming.
love the idea, very interesting! keep up the good work cant wait to see more in the future
I was confused at first (didnt read the description XD) but after a few times I got what was happening. It fits the theme well and there is a lot of polish, well done! It would be nice if the victory message stayed on screen longer since I clicked it away by accident the first time I reached the end.
Very good very nice (in Borat voice)
Cool idea!
I like that there are different level designs!
If you add more health to the hero I think it would make for more of a challenge but I still had fun good job!
It took me a few tries to be sure (was it intended for the camera movement to only be vertical or was that a bug on my end?) but great work making this.
Love a visually pleasing game, and a 3D one to boot is a rare thing in a game jam. The text breaks were entertaining, game was on theme, and the cheese was *chef's kiss*. Plus that music!!
Thanks for playing! Definitely left the verticle camera movement on purpose to kinda goof on "enemies" having bad aim lol. Very much appreciate the comment! :)
Ahh I see. That's what I thought initially and loved that touch, but when I failed a few times I doubted myself aha
The music goes so hard lol! Wasn't sure what I was doing wrong on the first level but eventually I got it right. I thought I had died when the purple orb got me but then I moved to the next level so that was a pleasant surprise!
Really charming little experience - the cheese throwing was a standout moment! Loving all of the particle effects too
Love the text, hate the hero. Great job!!
lmao this was really cute, it reminda me a little bit of Toon Town with some of the sounds (and all the fod throwing lol)
lol thank you so much
Short, sweet, and to the point!
Especially liked the jittering text between each stage, really cemented the vibe.
Thank you
