Congrats on a well-deserved 1st place. Awesome! May I ask how you render the main character? She looks so gorgeous! :)

Thank you! Props to our pixel artist. They followed this reference:

Sprite stacks were new to me, but here's a Godot specific tutorial that covered them:
Just a stunning game. Amazingly fun. Top 3 easy! Thanks and good luck

I am MONSTERHi! We've continued working on The Last Host and are looking for playtesters. Specifically, people who would be able to record 5-10 minutes of a playthrough in the next two weeks, for testing out new mechanics. I'm reaching out to a couple of people who reviewed us originally, and have since been still making content. Totally understand if you're busy.
Woah! Bad ass intro! Loved the music, and props the the voice artist! The game did not fail to disappoint either! "The Last Host" is a great idea, and the respawn mechanic was too cool! Great mash up of Enter the Gungeon and Doom. Fantastic game, great work to everyone involved.
Keep making games!

Kaiju: Total RampageReally cool game! It wasn’t the easiest to play with a trackpad, but it was good enough that I made it work!
Well done!
Submitted
Hexbound NightmareVery well done. The audio really supported the tight controls. Nice mix of weapons and subtle mechanics. That second chance mechanic is a cool concept.

Attack of The Snailcool game, the cutscene was pretty nice and the soundtrack fits the gameplay. I didn't quite get the mechanic where you become a spider for a while, but otherwise the gameplay was pretty polished. Solid entry!
Submitted
Forest Of FiendsOne of the coolest entries, that intro is 10/10, it was very surprising how good it is. The music is great. I eventually just ran out of ammo, starter gun could have been infinite. Art is solid and the customization options look good.
Submitted
Forest Of FiendsWOW!!! I really like the sound work you did and the game feel overall looks good, I specially like how you make the player rotate with mouse, good job.
Submitted
Chuck RevengeThis is really good. The music is awesome. Pretty hard tho since there are no ammo pickups or smth. Didn't understand the mechanic where you get thrown out of the host and have to get back at first, but its cool. Gives a nice second chance but gets annoying if you get cornered.

Creature Maker - Godot Wild Jam #56Hi! We've continued working on The Last Host and are looking for playtesters. Specifically, people who would be able to record 5-10 minutes of a playthrough in the next two weeks, for testing out new mechanics. I'm reaching out to a couple of people who reviewed us originally, and have since been still making content. Totally understand if you're busy.
From the very first moments this game oozes style. The voice over and music are killer, 11/10 stuff. The controls are really smooth and there's good feedback everywhere to make everything feel nice. Definitely some issues with the game behavior -- like guns not working if there's a wall close above you -- but overall this is a top notch entry!
I appreciate the inclusion of some kind of a story and the integration of the story with the gameplay, particularly with regard to how taking damage "ejects" you from your host and you get a second chance by chasing them down. Solid ideas here, it feels like it could be more than a jam game!

Life is Hard as a MonsterThank you for the feedback! We're especially glad that the theme to the "ejecting" mechanic was understandable. We have more work to do to make sure everyone gets it, but knowing that someone completely unfamiliar with the story was able to figure it out is good. Maybe it will be more than a jam game :-)
