How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
You play as jam defending against your number-one enemy: Peanut butter. But be careful, the more you shoot, the stronger the boss will become, making you your own worst enemy in this bullet-hell meets space invaders type game.

Very vibrant visuals and quite a fun idea! The sounds are a bit too loud, and I think there's no way to heal your jam, so if you miss a few enemies in the beginning, the "critical HP" effect will stay with you forever. Maybe slight heal on level up would've been better.
Noted, thank you for the feedback! There was a concept for a jam healing device, but it was scrapped to make the short level more challenging and feel more 80s arcade-y. I hope to continue working on this concept, and I plan as I add more levels and characters this will be implemented.
Aspect Ratio is fixed now.
