I enjoyed the game overall. I felt the puzzles could have been a bit more engaging though.

Quite simple puzzles but that just helped to make the game quite relaxing to play. Nice job.

Thank you!

Something strangely satisfying about that pop when you kill an enemy. For a game jam, I recommend infinite lives. I gave up looking for the red key even though I had found it in a previous attempt.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. I will definitely keep that in mind going forward!

A cute little game. It isn't a very complicated game but does what it need to do.

possible additions / tips:
- add a little bit of screen shake.
- I couldn't find the 4th key. it was a little bit confusing.
- you could add an extra level maybe even an boss battle. (the game is kind of small)
- make your player shoot faster. you might have to re balance the game but fast game-play wouldn't be a bad idea.

I hope my advice is useful. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for playing and the great feedback!

non instant acceleration for the player would be nice, that way I could aim at things without running into them.

Also, the directional sound for the shoot sound is a little broken, right now, it spawns the audio player wherever you shoot, and the audio player doesn't move with the bullet, that works, but that combined with the aiming method mean that if you are aiming left, the shoot sound will come from the right, and vice versa, I would make the audio player a child of the bullet.

I like the music, and the animations.

The particles and sfx really add a lot.
