Pretty simple, but very solid! It could perhaps have used some more juice, but it’s already quite polished as it is. Nicely made!
Thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough. I liked the particle effects when you shoot at the walls and the gameplay was fun. Controls felt very smooth and responsive. Short but sweet
Fun and polished but weak use of theme.
Noted on the theme thing, that's something I can definitely work on more haha. Thanks for the feedback and playing!! :D
Damn, the ending surprised me :D Nice job, especially on shooting mechanic it really feels nice to shoot enemies!
Glad that you liked the ending and the shooting! Thanks for playing haha :D
Super polished game, O loved the blood spatter and the reflecting effect of the bullets. Super juicy and fun gameplay. Though I found the game to be short(this was a short jam so can't complain tho) and the implementation of the theme to be random.
Ah yeah haha, my theme implementation's admittedly a bit weak because I really just wanted to do a procedurally generated dungeon haha. Glad that you liked the blood splatter and bullet feedback! I kept the rooms short because I didn't want people to quit before reaching the twist haha :x Thanks for the feedback and playing!! :D
Nice entry!
The controls feel good and the feedback is great!
Thanks for playing!! I tried to put in as much feedback as I could haha. Would have put more in but I ran out of time xD
Hah, I didn't have any indication of the Role Reversal theme for a bit, then "No, U" happened haha. Nice feel to the gun with the metal clings and firing noises. I like the several enemy ideas too, the minion spawning one was my favorite. Good work!
Ah yeah haha initially I had the levels be ~6 rooms long then I realised that it might cause people to quit halfway before they got to the role reversal bit so I reduced it :x The minion spawning one was initially supposed to be the boss but I wanted to try out more enemy ideas haha. Glad you liked it, and thanks for playing haha.
Loved the game feel!
Glad you like it! Thanks for playing :D
I had to switch my keyboard settings to qwerty to play :( but that's just a minor inconveniance. The art & sound are cool, the game design is simple but entertaining. It is way too simple though, I didn't really understand what was the goal at first so I shot everything and then I was way too overpowered. The uno reversed card confused me at first but it's funny xD. But because there does not seem to be a limit on the ammo I just spamclicked everywhere and crushed the game lol.
Ah! Noted on the keyboard settings thing and the lack of a clear goal!
Also yeah, I overscoped a bit and spent too much time on the dungeon generator haha, so the design is really lacking especially on the balance front where the player gets really too overpowered.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!!
Mission failed, I now think it's Christmas in July
Other than that a pretty fun game! I very much enjoy wrecking random objects and inflicting property damage on other people's homes.
I did see that breaking everything does make you quite overpowered, to the point that pretty much everything will die in half a second or so due to the insane fire rate. I can't deny that having the high fire rate is very fun, though!
Also, the twist made me very emotional. It was so heartwarming seeing the player propose to the pumpkin lord as they rode on horseback alongside a sunset on a beach as they got married.
Somewhere in the world it's Christmas :p
I added the destructible objects in an attempt to make the dungeon less boring and just gave the items a chance to drop upgrades but I messed up the balance a little with my drop chances haha. :x Glad you liked the twist though! Thanks for playing!!
What an interesting concept and gameplay!
Glad you found the idea interesting!! Thanks for playing :D
OMG That twist. Love that game. Art is great, gameplay is really interesting and engaging. Overall very good job!
Haha glad you liked the twist! Thanks for playing!!
Nice twist, and really fun to play. This should get more ratings.
Thanks for playing!! :D
