Did you work in a team?
Everything except the music I made alone, the music was created for the game by a friend. This was my first time covering anything other than programming and design for a jam project.
Was the resolution a challenge?
It was tricky to figure out good enemies and patterns that would work within the screen size. Making everything stylish was also a challenge given how few pixels I had to work with.
What did you learn?
This is my first completed project where i handled all the design, art, and sound design myself, which definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I wanted to do most of it alone to prove to myself i could complete a project by myself and I definitely think it worked out in that regard.

There is definitely a great level of polish in the visuals and audio, I thought the death animations were awesome.
The gameplay is a bit on the hard side, I was only able to play stage one, the screen feels a bit crowded and the two enemy types that move back and forth are very tanky and slow moving towards the player leaving little room for error if you miss a couple shots. If the enemies were tweaked to be more forgiving I think this would be an all round top game.
Definitely my favorite game of the jam. This game should win. It's super polished.
I loved the second phase, fighting the giant meowkia.
Super cool, good job!
Wow! This game is super solid and flashy! Good job!
This is such a charming game! I feel the choice and quality of sound effects really convey an 'arcade' feeling~ Great work!
Great game, gfx style is very fitting for low resolutions, maybe spritse sizes are a bit big and the available space makes it a bit too hard when the screen is a bit crowded (f.e. stop sign counter-attack and police cars coming…). Definitely a 5 stars!
Very nice work!
this rocks!! ultra sick!!
Very complete and polished! Great arcade shooter - well done!
Nicely done, screen transitions as well...neat!
the music and presentation is really good.
great game!
