Did you work in a team?
No
Was the resolution a challenge?
The small resolution made it difficult to show certain UI elements, and I had to modify some of the artwork to make sure things were legible. I decided to use a limited color palette to save time on making art decisions.
What did you learn?
I learned several things that I'll be able to use in the future, like how to make enemies follow you when you are close to them.

Short but nice game!
cool idea with cool color palette and art style!
Really polished and cohesive game. I really liked the art and color palette. Nice job overall!
I love the movement and the shooting, feels great. Lovely graphics and colour palette and the music is the cherry on top. :)
I like hero of this game, good simple design.
The mission is not too difficult to understand.
The limited color palette gives this game a unique look, which makes it a very elegant production decision to save time while improving the visual quality and helping the game stand out. A great move for a jam game; I'm surprised this is your first ever entry!
Gameplay was fun if a bit on the easy/short side, but it felt like a well-rounded experience. Good job!!
Nice graphics and, unexpectedly, relaxing gameplay!
Short but sweet. The graphics look great - the limited colour palette is nice and the sprites are well drawn. I also enjoyed the music and overall sound design. The movement is a little slippery for my liking, but it's not unmanageable and certainly gives a low gravity feel. Having a victory cutscene after completing the game is a very nice touch.
It took me a while to realise I could shoot the boxes generating the electric barriers and I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for a key or something. Not sure if that's a conveyance issue or just me being dumb.
Thanks for the feedback! I was worried that people would get stuck on that so next time I’ll think of a way to make it more obvious. Maybe have one that’s already broken or place an enemy in front so you’d accidentally hit it a few times to teach you.
The best example of what a jam game should be: short, addictive and fun. All the pros have already been mentioned here before me, so I’ll just say: really nice game!
