How does your game fit the theme?
The whole map is shrinked adapted to the puppets world, and the player must kill certain puppets to shrink and progress through the game. If he kills the wrong puppets he will grow, but not killing them puts him in danger

Great style and theming, really its top notch but I will say that the use of the jam theme could be improved. Sure killing enemies changes your size but since this is a bullet hell you don't really get to choose how your size changes and since the changes are gradual you don't really notice it.

The style was amazing. Also fun take on the theme. Nice job on creating a creepy feel. Well done!

The game was impressive aesthetically, though mechanically it could have used a dodge button or something to shake up the gameplay a bit. That said, I did have a couple close encounters I managed to manoeuvre out of, so that was cool. Just wish there was more of those cases. The win screen was a cool moment, just very creepy

Really fun game, but I got dumb at first and just killed everyone I saw without going left lol

Could use some tuning but I'm a big fan of the idea, and the visuals do a great job of supporting the tone

I'm floored. I would be impressed even if this was made by a dev team, but you also did it solo! Clowns are scary, but your game is amazing :)

Thank you!
But I didn't do this all by myself. My friend Ivan Gamez helped me out by making all the sprites and art :)

I definitely should have paid attention the instructions, I got so caught up in shooting stuff at first that I ended up huge lol. Once I realized that I shouldn't try to shoot all of them things went better. I like the concept.
