Really enjoyable concept. Favorite game of the jam so far. The mechanic of enemies getting more difficult as your damage them is a great idea! I really think spending more time on polish could go a long way here. Great job!
It would be awesome if you could give me feedback too! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2024/rate/2903767
very fun! i would like it to have an automatic gun, but still pretty good! keep the good work!
I really like that each level of enemy is a different sprite rather than just scaled up. And it is deceptively difficult. It didn’t help that I kept moving my mouse away from the active area.
Congratulations on your first game jam game, it's really fun, the artwork is amazing and I think it's an idea definitely worth expanding on (no pun intended).
HUGE fan of the pixel art, you did a really good job with it! I think the game would benefit from being able to shoot by holding down left click. Also love the title
Cool game
The concept is pretty gnarly! love the space invaders vibe and sprites. Despite the arcade vibes, this is perhaps better played as an exe rather than in website as the website border is pretty dark and makes the game harder when you're trying to not die
Really simple and fun the art style, music, and sound effects are really crisp and nice. Great Job!
Nice game! The enemies feel a bit bullet-spongy but overall still really cool
Beautifully simple and fun
Great submission. The controls are a little janky but overall it's challenging in a fun way. Played through to the end. Cheers!
Really like how the enemies look and the inflation mechanism! Levels were challenging but still manageable and fun :)
Nice enemy designs, too bad there is no option to keep shooting
Art is nice !
would have loved to be able to keep left press to shoot contineously
Fun to play! Great job! At first I couldn't tell why I was seemingly making it harder on myself by shooting them lol. But it made sense as I kept playing.
The name is funny and I really liked the enemy sprites, the way the game naturally gets harder the closer you are to defeating the enemies is clever. Great job!
Really liked the art style on this one. I think it could use some work on pacing, maybe make the enemies have less health but add more of them to the level, and allow the player to hold left click to shoot instead of just press, and I think this could be a ton of fun! Great work!
Thank you so much for the feedback! This game was intentionally designed to be a slow-paced game, where you think twice before you start shooting lasers at the enemy and plan your movements carefully, but taking the fast-paced design route sounds like a fun idea! I really like fast-paced games myself. Maybe someday…
Nice game! I loved the art style
I like the twist on the classic game. Great work!
Fun game! I like how inflating the enemies, scaling them up, artificially increases the difficulty in a very space-invaders-esque way!
