it's a great game but when you have a game about clicking rapidly, it's gotta be fullscreen. i can't tell you how many times i clicked outside of the window on accident. Thankfully it paused when that happened.

Once I got the mechanic it was really nice.

I must be playing golf cuz i got a score of -2000!! Really good and fun time killer! Would be nice with a WebGL port tho

Submitted

Very good, especially the artwork!!! 

Just a comment though, in high DPI screens, your game shows in a small window which cannot be resized or maximized... Something for a little fix later on!

its really impressive for 48 hours, good job!

I can't deny how this game is so damn GEWD for a 48-hour jam. Visuals and sound are very appealing for something that's literally made in MS Paint(and other assisting software I assume). I agree that it could use a bit more tweaks AND the game could be considered as a full release. Great job! :D

If i showed this game to someone without them know it was for this game, I think they whould believe this was made in ms paint. Not only did you guys make a game in 48 hours, You where also able to add good visuals, good design and bug free. I think if you warned the player about the second can and make the lifes counter a bit bigger, you chould sell this game!

Looks absolutely amazing

A very fun little game, though the difficulty curve could use some serious work. I got thrown a real curve ball when suddenly I had to juggle two cans of soup. That definitely more than doubled the difficulty and was real sudden, losing me almost all of my lives there. Another issue I ran into - it being a windowed game - is that when I had to shoot near the edge of the screen I often ended up clicking outside of the window. At least this pauses the game which is really helpful, but still not optimal.

Over all it is a gorgeous game, fits the theme well, and is fun to play, but those few issues do make it so I do not necessarily wish to play an awful lot of it. Still, pretty darn good!

Developer

Yeah, I do agree the difficulty curve is a bit steep at that point. I didn't really put the most extreme thought into it as I was limited by time. Thanks for the feedback though. I'm glad you enjoyed!

Incredible MS Paint graphics work. The limitation becomes a charming style instead. The game is also quite fun. Well done!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! :D

Really fun, even if it was a bit difficult (at least for me). The art is unbelievably gorgeous, too - it's hard to believe it was really made in paint.

Overall this game is a real hidden gem of the jam.

I think I did make it a little too difficult. Thanks for playing!

One of those games that makes you think "Was that really paint?" from a distance, and then you just realize, yup, it's made with paint. Very impressive, would stare at with jealous eyes again.

Developer

Thanks that means a lot! I recorded footage of me drawing the assets so I might publish a YouTube video where I go through the process. We'll see.
