A lot of smart design here! Mix of dodging, shooting, getting close to the sun but not too close - clever, elegant and tight. Alongside the audio/visual presentation it's certainly one of the highlights of this jam for me.
Thanks! Among the games I've made it's one of my favorites
Good job. A great strategy game. It would have been better if the tutorial would not play during the game becuase I could not focus. I like the use of the theme
Thanks! I agree that it's hard to focus on the tutorial the way I implemented it. It was sorta laziness on my part but I at least tried to make it a safe environment to learn compared to the base game.
You always at least have a bit of laziness when you are a developer. Here take a *thumbs up sign thing emoji thing*
The art really brought everything to light! Good job
Thank you! I started with a color palette this time and I think that really helped the art direction.
I think is my favourite of your games. Brillliant use of theme, fun gameplay and the capybara / yuri / water mage story really brought it all together. Great work Fava!
Thanks! This is one of my favorites too! I'm glad I entered the jam
I did not expect this theme to be picked at all lmao. Cool art and enemy design! I think the mechanics where sweat replenishes fast at the bottom is really cool but I didn't notice it at all in the game.
Thanks for the feedback! I actually thought this theme would be picked by more than just a couple of people. Oh well, I guess that helps me stand out!
If I was to reiterate on this game I probably would adjust the rates of sweat replenishment
Very good use of theme. Great game and music too.
Thanks! I knew almost immediately that this was the game I wanted to make when I saw that theme option
the game is very complete! And the heatwave is great and fun lol
Thanks! I'm glad you think it feels complete
Cool arcade game with good controls and non-stop action. The real fun starts when the bass drops and heatwave activates,
Thanks! I thought the track I found was pretty sweet so my goal was to make a game that matches its intensity
