Fun simple fighting game 😊!
The concept of power-ups fighting back is indeed strange but also well-conceived and enjoyable. Fighting and controls were good and simple. Maybe the pace of movement could have been a bit faster. And I would have liked to keep the crossbow longer. That was safer than close combat with the sword. I often got hit no matter how careful I was while playing. The art style was of course very cute with the little faces too. It looked good in terms of style. SFX present, but I would have also enjoyed a nice background track. Maybe something for the future.
All in all, a fun jam entry. Keep it up for future games💪!
Powerups fight back? I didn't know we can fight back LOL XD
At second try I realized we can fight back, even if we can't it was still fun, but we can, we can even get the powerups after defeating them, it was awesome, really great job.
Suggestion: Short tutorial or a controls screen that says we can fight back too XD .
Idea of inheriting the power ups are great! I wish there was a way to keep the bow though!
I like your crazy idea of inheriting the powers of the powerups XD
A very simple game that captures the theme exquisitely but some bg music would have been nice to have.
A very nice game overall. Great job!
pretty simple game mechanics not too hard on newbies like me and overall captures the essence of strange powerups. like i've never thought about powerups attacking the player haha
That's great
A really creative spin on the idea of power ups! And the art was very cute. The audio was pretty annoying, but except that this is a really fun idea!
I had really fun playing the Game! The sfx were a Bit annoying though, maybe put a high pass Filter on them?
All in all this Game was very nice!
Hey! I really liked your take on the power-up mechanics. It’s a cool twist that the power-ups are also enemies, and having to defeat them to gain their abilities adds an extra layer of challenge to the game. The minimalistic design works well, and the game feels clean and easy to get into. The menu music was a nice touch too .
Overall, it’s a fun 2D game that fits the theme really well, and I enjoyed playing it. Keep up the great work!
Nice game, simple but fun.
I liked your take on the theme too!
Thank you for playing! nice to hear you liked my take of the theme :D
Really simple and nice game! Everything worked as it should do.
The art was simple and nice, the sounds did felt hurtful. I ended with a score over 200. Maybe movement was a bit slow, I hate the swords that they lunge at you haha the others are okay for sure (would liked fully health with hearts)
I missed some music and the theme fitted alright good in it. It has a lot of potential.
Thank you for playing! I agree that the gameplay can use some music :D
I loved this game! My best score was 244.
I liked how the enemy behavior matched the powerups I got from them. My favorite powerup was the crossbow, and I think the hardest enemy were the swords, because they'd remove my crossbow and lunge at me :)
Very fun and also quite cute!
Thank you for playing! I think most people say the sword is the most annoying enemy :p
Loved the concept to make power ups your enemies!! Had fun playing the game.
Thank you for playing! Glad you had fun :)
Really nice idea and visuals, congratulations !
Thank you for playing!
I liked a lot the visuals, and the gameplay is cool ! But the SFX are a little harsh, aggressive
Beside this detail, your game is really fun to play, great job :)
Thank you for playing! Yeah I can see that the sfx might be kinda harsh any suggestions on how I can improve? I use bfxr to generate them but if you know smth better pls tell me :)
You can use an equalizer (an effect) and make some frequencies sound lower in volume. Here i would recommand you to make medium and high frequencies sound lower, but you can test other frequencies
Or you can augment the duration of the attack, and add some release
A little bit hard to write it down haha
But i don't know how you can fix it without any daw...
A simpler solution would be to make it sound lower in volume
Do you know any other sound effect generators other than bfxr or a sound effect library. I find bfxr to be somewhat limiting and don't have the talent to create sfx from scratch :(
Sorry i don't know... I never use this kind of tool, so i can't help you..
Cute art and some sound effects! It was a simple but fun game, maybe some more strange power ups would be cool!
Thank you for playing! If I had more time adding more enemy powerups would be interesting :>
Well this really gets into the jam theme 100%, It made me smile when it dawned on me that in general all power-ups are enemies xD
Thank you for playing! Glad it made you smile :)
