Comments on the jam
This was a great jam and I'm glad I was a part of it! The Monochromatic subtheme really helped me focus on gameplay instead of art.

This was a cool game, the aesthetic was great, the music was catchy, and the power-ups and boss fights all felt unique and fun. It was also short and sweet with the option of finding and killing all the scientists (which I didn't do, I'm not a monster!).

Some feedback:

- the controls can be pretty difficult at times, especially around wall jumping. This made the first boss particularly difficult.

- I put in all the symbols I saw in that vault area but didn't get any feedback on if I had done it right or not, so I'm not really sure what that room is all about.

- It was never super clear to me when I was supposed to attack the floating balls on the third boss. I think it was a combination of not knowing if the balls were damaging me or if the water drops were damaging me. Once I destroyed the cannons, this became much less of an issue, but when the cannons and balls were both up at the same time it was a little unclear what exactly I needed to do to win.


Overall a really cool entry, some really clever designs in here (I particularly appreciated the triple cannon room with the + marks to indicate the optimal path)  Thanks for submitting this, it was super enjoyable!

Really liked it, the upgrades felt really unique and felt quite extensive for a jam with how many different bosses there were. I only really wish with there was more destructible terrain as it felt really satisfying to fly around rooms. A more expanded upon game with this kind of physics would be really cool.

Well done. This is a very good game!!! I enjoyed playing this. I've gotten the 15 scientist - "My merciless Efficiency is second to none, not one of them survived my Ruthless advance"

The sprites are great and the stoy is interesting. A map would be useful because the rooms are so simular. I like the plattforming, but there should also be combat. I got stuck at the third boss because it seems imposible: it's unclear what hits you and if you get a hit on the boss you usually bounce right into danger withoutit being your fault.
