I liked the game, but every time i lose i feel sorry for the poor girl. But in general it was a fun experience. Nice job.
Thanks a ton!
Really cool idea and nices VFX, unfortunately the game was a bit too hard for me. A larger FOV would have been nice to anticipate a little more. But I had fun, thanks for making it. :)
I thought I learned my lesson from my previous shooter game, so I increased the FOV this time. However, it seems like I didn't increase it enough. Thanks for the kind words! :)
Particles effect are well done, the concept is unexpected but gameplay is cool, nice game !
Thanks a bunch!
The theming is wild and absurd but I'll roll with it!!
The game was quite difficult, I think especially a larger FoV would've helped because I died quite a few times while I was cruising and just ran into enemies and couldn't stop in time.
The presentation, especially with regards to lighting, was very pleasant and the music is a bop!
Overall, quite the challenging game, and the possiblity of killing yourself by shooting is also a bit frustrating, so I would say the gameplay needed some more iteration time, but the package overall is pretty neat!
All your points are valid, thanks for the honest feedback! :)
This is what I call fighting cancer
Interesting idea with a good theming. takes a little time to get used to the scaling and resource management but feels nice once it clicks
I really liked the theme with fighting cancer! The gameplay was fun. It got me some time to get used to spending my resources to fire bullets, but after some time it was fine. Cool game!! Good job!!
good vibes, sad story, I like the core concept and I like the bullet pick up mechanic, great job!
I'm not good at fighting cancer
Game is actually really fun! Too bad I suck at it, but was fun to play, love some of the decision making brought into making this game!
that music is FIRE! still jamming out to it. I liked the atmosphere contrast with the subject matter and how you had to consider your shots and size carefully. Gameplay itself may be a little too difficult for me so sadly I was unable to beat cancer, but I still had a lot of fun! Awesome job doing all of it on your own!!
Thanks a lot! At first I was a little skeptical about my abilities to create music for an action game, but it seems to have worked out in the end. :)
Very atmospheric. The screen shakes, enemies grow larger from the shots, while the player shrinks, and you travel through the human body. A unique and interesting top-down game
Very nice game. I personally don’t love the take on the theme since scaling is not a core mechanic, but still a very nice game and cool idea. I didn’t manage to complete it since it’s very challenging, but I’ve enjoyed all the time I’ve played.
The gameplay is so addicting! Great game!
Thanks a ton!
cool triangle shooter.
Really sick music and the movement feels weighty and nice.
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
I loved the idea of making the map as the human body. For me it was difficult in the abdomen after the checkpoint. I enjoyed the mechanics, it was nice how too much power destroyed you. 10/10
Thanks a bunch!
This game WOULD be the best I've played in this jam so far, but the difficulty is painful.
It doesn't feel "hard", it just feels "unfair"
I put 5 stars in everything but enjoyment
I agree wholeheartedly. I added checkpoints at the last minute to tone down the difficulty, but it clearly needs a little more tweaking. Thank you for the five stars! :)
I liked how you added a human body shaped map to the game. It really helped show where you are meant to go. So far, I'm managed to make it as far as the top of the leg before losing. The story behind the game and wanting to save Lucy really motivates the player to keep trying. The art, music and The left and right mouse button mechanics are great.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
