Use of the limitation
Limited "ammo" to splat incoming obstacles out of the way, so you need to choose when to use it carefully!

Cookies eaten
none :( plenty of chicken nuggets though >:3c

Love the animations! Do wish there was a slight increase in difficulty as you progress to make it more interesting though :) Maybe horizontally moving obstacles rather than just vertical?

thanks for playing! thats a really interesting idea :O i definitely wanna work on the difficulty curve so ill keep that in mind!

good first game. I think it need to be more harder as much as the higher score 

Developer

thanks for playing! i definitely agree the difficulty needs some big work done

Submitted(+1)

It’s fun but you could improve it easily adding sounds when shooting, hitting to give some rewarding feedback. Also a trail while you fall or while you move to the right/left. Also it could be nice if you could pick ammo on your way down. Otherwise the style and music very nice.

Developer

thank you for playing! the trail in particular is an idea i wanted to explore but didn't get the time to - so i'm going to try to do so after the jam has concluded fully!

I like the visuals!

But the use of limitation wasn't very useful, since the bullets weren't that useful in the first place.

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing! that's a good point, i definitely think once i work on a better difficulty curve the limitation would shine more

The graphics for the game were very pretty and the gameplay was alright, however, it got a little boring after about 10-20 minutes of playing it! The music was amazing as were the SFX :D

Developer

thank you for playing! i definitely agree that the gameplay loop needs more work in the future to be more engaging

Developer

thank you for playing! :>

very nice little porotype, not much of game play here but liked the art

Developer

Simple and fun but can get boring very quickly.  6/10

Developer

thanks for playing :D ill be looking at adding more engaging elements soon!

Really good for a first game, but the gameplay gets boring very quickly

Developer

thank you for playing! i definitely agree, and im going to work on making it more engaging once the jam is done :)

The game looks really good, the art is great, but the game it's too simple and the gameplay boring and repetitive.

There is just one obstacle and there is no indicator that shows you are out of ammo. You should have added some visual effects so the game feels alive.

It's a good game, good job but next time you should definitely eat some cookies (it helps a lot)

Developer

thanks for playing! i definitely agree that the gameplay loop is too barebones right now - given more time id definitely have improved that aspect, and plan to do some work on it after the jam :D and ill definitely be stocking up on cookies next time lol

Nice to look at and lots of room to add more later!

Developer

thank you! im sure ill be back to you with more bug questions as i develop it in the future :,)

So cute! Can do with a bit more polish but very adorable

Developer

thank you for playing! i definitely agree, ill be writing some more about how i want to polish in my post-mortem :>

Submitted(+1)

Liked the art quite a bit. The name of the game is also very clever. Got a bit boring towards the end though when you ran out of jam shoot. Maybe some pickup that gives you more jam or every time you destroy the obstacles you get extra ammo. 

Developer

thank you for playing! i definitely want to expand on the gameplay loop after the jam, so thank you for the feedback :D

I really like the graphics and sound of the game.

It is a good but  fairly simple game, i got to 877 but then just died on purpose, i was hoping it would get progressively harder, it seems like there was only 1 "enemy" in scene at any one time, so it was pretty easy.

Developer

thank you for playing! i definitely agree, its basically at the top of my to-do list lol but for the jam i just didnt quite find the time sadly
