- Liked this game a lot, i would love to see your concept here fleshed out more. upgrades and more items would be excellent starts. maybe make it round based and give the player a shop with random items each round? sort of like a vampire survivors esk progression with bigger and badder enemies and more abilities. I did think i wasnt picking up items till i accidentally threw a grenade, so maybe some sort of audio queue that im picking it up rather then it fading away.

I *really* like this game. I actually stopped playing it just to say this, and then I'm gonna go back and start playing again. The general concept is just so simple while so clever at the same time. Creative games like this is the reason I love indie games. I DLed the dev doc and noticed Celeste immediately- one of my favorite games in the past 10 for sure. You can see the influence too. The audio is great, the art is great. Super fun. Gonna stop commenting so I can play more :)
Edit: also, the art thumbnail is great. I decided to play the game based on that.
Discovered you can shoot infected blocks too. Love the detail in the mechanics and how well they were implemented! I think you did a stellar job managing your time and expectations for this jam to deliver something fun and polished. Bravo!
This is a really fun game, reminds me of Metroid + Bullet hell
Improve ops
I want bigger levels more enemies, jetpack
This is a very fun game, 100% recommend a play
Really liked the game. I think with some tweaking and more items this would be a game I'd buy on steam. It's a crime more people haven't played your game.
Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback. I probably won't work on it after the game jam since its my first game in a new engine, but if ever do, I'll keep your advice in mind. Also, I played your ant hill game, and I think its a very nice concept!
Love your game, the artistic style reminds me of games like Risk of Rain or Dome Keeper. I managed to achieve 8400 points on the first try. Great Game, keep doing what you do :)
