Yes
Summarise your game!
2D pixel platformer where the player controls a scientist who flings his own body (press [A]) into hordes of knife shaped zombies in order to heal them - by drenching them in blood.
The healed knombies are transformed back into their original human form. Because the scientist's body is hurt every time he hits a knife, he has to be healed by getting new blood from the nearby blood transfusion (press [S]).
Try to survive all 4 waves!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The theme is "You Are The Weapon", so I took this very literally and expanded from there. My very first idea was the human-wielding sword which is also depicted as a sketch in my GDD. But this didn't look and feel right (I even made some animations with this). A friend remarked that the one of the inverted sword/human animations looked like the human was bouncing on a pogo stick. That's how the whole idea came to be.
Thanks for an awesome second game jam for me!

Lol the SFX were great :)awesome game! love the concept! Sound effects are realy remarkable.
Fantastic use of the theme and I love the sound effects. The sound of the scientist faceplanting when he attacks is hilarious! Great job!
Very fun and very funny XD. Thank you for this fun little game!!
The sfx are crazy, I enjoyed the experience very much. A bit crouded in high rounds, maybe a bigger map?
Really good job.
I liked it! I feel like it's a bit short and I wish there could be different types of enemies (or maybe a more extended map where I have to course through). I think my only complain is that it is really easy to cheese through it. (I only needed to camp the blood and refill each time I hit a knombie). That took most of the challenge out of it (although I also played it the way it was meant to be, not only cheese.) Still, I loved Dave's animations and the sound design. Would really like an extended version of the game.
Love the sound effects! Funny game with a unique style of attacking. Never seen a game where u have to fling urself into the enemies xd
10/10 would OUCH again!
Very interesting mechanic! And hilarious too! GJ
10/10 mouth design
This was hilarious and fun! I do wish there was
a way to skip the intro and a audio settings/menu.
Thank you for the awesome game!
Thank you for playing and commenting! I was just focussing on completing the game as is, so I didn't include any (audio) settings. Also, you can't skip the intro, but to make it scroll more quickly, press and hold Return. I forgot to mention this somewhere before submitting :O
Very fun game
love the sound design
Awesome attack animation! Cute little game! good job!!!
lol
I was just laughing hearing the sound effects. The game mechanic and the overall game play is really fun!
Those sound effects cracked me up, nicely done!
very cute game I love the sfx and visuals, although for gameplay i found myself just kinda sitting ontop of the healing area since there wasnt really much incentive for me to leave, it was kinda op to just sit on it.
Goofy game. Loved this!
Very funny game!
