Fun game, though hard as balls. Love the death/revival mechanic!

Creativr idea and really addicting. But the music doesn't fit the game in my opinion. Overall, nice game!
Decent game, but execution of certain aspects needs some work. The way enemies spawn could be improved; rather than just having another one spawn near it immediately when one is killed, it'd probably be better to have enemies spawn on some kind of randomized timers and in randomized locations so that you'd have to act quickly and react to where they spawn. The usage of the theme is alright, though in terms of gameplay it basically just amounts to a slightly different respawn mechanic from most other games. The health mechanic is pretty interesting.
I must say the game overloaded me with information at the start, but once I knew what I was doing the core idea clicked! It's really smart game abut co-ddepandance. You keep Jims alive on the regular so Jims can revive you when shit hit's the fan. Well done!
Really cool idea ! It's fun having to manage both your and the jim health, its an interesting gameplay loop. alot of the time it felt futile shooting the ghosts, as they would come back super quickly. Maybe having them die permanently and then instead having the number of ghosts spawning increase over time would be cool. different weapon types or something could be fun aswell. overall, super fun ! good stuff
This is a very creative idea! The fact that you have to steal health from the things you're supposed to be defending to prevent a game over is pretty cool.
I love the art style, it's funny to see the french fries pop up among all the pixels especially. But it's also very effective for getting the point across with the different types of enemies. The main thing I would have like to see a bit different was for the movement controls to be a bit tighter. I didn't feel in control of my character and the jump distance was really far. Great job for the jam!
I played the game here:

Had fun playing, but some of the controls seemed tough to hit. Z and K are a little awkward. Q, E, F, R are quite a bit closer to where your hands are.
The art was silly and cute and I really liked it and the idea was very very creative. The game was fun and the game was hard with all those ghost and bullets but I loved it. Great job!
Nice game! Had fun playing it, liked the music, though I found it to be a bit of a bullet hell with all those projectiles zooming around and the constantly spawning ghosts, even some of those shooting at ya! But well done!
Well, I think that the wall jump could be something other than the shift key... I found myself getting stuck on the bottom floor a lot. Other than that it is a neat idea that could use some polish.
Fun game! I love the art and the music is just pleasure for my ears (love this type of music)! Great game:D
The game is good, I liked the music and the graphic art. But I didn't like the gameplay, the jump was awkward to use and I found it difficult just starting out. It's a nice idea but needs polishing. It's ok if you're just starting to make games. Greetings.
Only complaints would be the controls. Really cute artwork. Clever usage of the theme. Nice work :)
