One of the most fun game in this jam. Fun take on the 'vampire survivors like' genre. The art was awesome and the gameplay was addicting.

Game was fun I became God crab. I became so strong in the first run the coins didnt really help lol but isnt really an issue. Sound effects were very good to haha. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks a lot ACORNEX for playing our game, we had some difficulty to balance it ahah. We put a lot of heart (and voice) in our sound effects,thank you !

This may be my favorite one yet! I love the art, and sound effects, and the game just overall feels very clean. For things that I would change, there is a bug on the opening screen, where if you open the shop, then open the credits you get stuck because the shop screen doesn't close out, so you can't hit the back button. I would also make the game a bit harder, because I sort of realized after a while that I could just run through all the enemies, and I still wasn't really taking damage. Great job!

Developer

Oh sheeesh thank you for the bug report, we pushed a fix right now for it!

We're glad our game had such a good impact on you then and we'll try our best to make our next Jam entry a little harder, as we were scared to overdo on the difficulty like we did in our first game that was VERY hard for new players!

Thank you so much for the thoughful review and kind words <3

Very satisfying to kill everything so it kept me playing the whole 10 minutes. I enjoyed it a lot.

Developer

We're honoured you stayed the whole 10 minutes of the run and glad you had fun! Thanks a ton for your review!

Where are the chests ? I want the chests !!
joke aside, great game. I love the sounds. Feel polished and well packed with all those menu and all.

Developer

I KNEW WE FORGOT SOMETHING LOL

Thanks for the reply, coming from a guy who played the OG Vampire Survivor, it's truly an honour to have been able to make you have some of the fun at least!

Really fun! Towards the end I became so powerful I could sit still and just watch the fish get destroyed around me :) I like how at the end you get to spend your coins at the shop, such a neat addition! I had one giant shark appear which was cool, I expected there to be even more as it progressed but I seemed to just get the one! So that's my feedback, more giant sharks please! :D Great job on the game.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the review! Indeed we went a little too far on the Overpowered spectrum near the end because we were like "if they're gonna play just one game, at least they'll have fun being CRAB GODS" ! Only 3 giants ennemy spawn during the run randomly but people mostly remark the shark because with the 1.5 scale, since he's pretty big normaly, he becomes GIANT lol

I'm glad you enjoyed our game as much as we enjoyed yours !

Good game!  The art and particle effects look especially nice

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words, a good chunk of the gamejam time went into the art so we're glad you liked it!

Very fun game, love the way you used the limitation

Developer

We were like "How can we incorporate it... F*CK IT WE GO SMOL!" lol

Thanks for you thoughtful review!

Very fun game loop! The art was very clean and the game had lots of charm. The sound effects are my favorite part!!

I wasn't able to figure out what the point of the coins was and I also didn't see the option to shrink in size instead of taking powerups, they seemed to happen automatically. Other than that it was fun using the various powerups.

Developer

Thanks for your thoughtful review! 

Sadly the coin system was put it kinda late to go along the "health" collectibles to give variety but we didn't have the time to put the "upgrade" shop in as of the release..

For the getting EVEN smaller part, it happens when you press left mouse button or space, and can only happen two times per run (for now), hope it clears the confusion!

I really enjoyed this! It's pretty polished for a game made in 72 hours. I'm always a sucker for power-ups with upgrades. Good choice on sound effects.

If I could make any changes, I would want the crabling to get even smaller. He still seems kind of big at his lowest size.

Developer

Thank you very much for your reply!
We'll try to allow people to go even smaller with the crab breaking mechanism in an update today!
