Very creative use of theme on this one. I had my headphone volume on high and the shooting sound really scared me the first time :D
Really enjoyed the concept and the gameplay. Great game with lots of potential!
Very cool concept, and incredible sprite work. Could use a little music, and the game could use a tutorial of some kind, as it is hard to understand what to do without dying a bunch since the time limits are so short. Very good jam game though!
My highscore was 5, it was really hard!
Presentation is clean and simple, music would have been nice.
The concept is pretty cool. I like the fact that you literally gamble your life away.
Gameplay is fine but way to hard. For game jam games, I think it is generally smarter to make easier games as people usually won't play your game for that long.
Thanks for the play, that's a good tip ill keep it in mind!
It was just me that made this one, I'm new to jams but I've worked on projects in the past, thanks for the review!
Checked out your game and left a comment!
Very interesting idea betting life, the style of the game was harmonic
Thank you!
The concept and art is really cool. I love the idea of a dynamic shooter where the player gets to choose what their objective is. If given more time I think the game would play nicer if the controls were fleshed out and enemies had less health but with the time constraint I think this project is really cool!
Thanks!
it looks and feels very nice but the enemy have a bit to much health i think
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you on that
Wasn't sure what was happening at all at the start but I got the hang of it. A really good idea with the gambling system!
Thanks!
Art is nice, but game is brutaly hard
Thanks for the feedback! this concept I came up with I found super difficult to balance, definitely something I should work on next time!
The art was nice to look it, but with the tight time limit and the very similar looking sprites between the enemies and obstacles, it made the game a bit too difficult for my taste. I want to reiterate the sprite work is very nice and polished!
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely could have used some colour coding/outlines to define things better!
This may be random but I use this tool for most jams: https://coolors.co/
It seems like maybe I'm not understanding something important to play this game. What am I doing?
you're just meant to get as far as possible, had some scope issues lol
