I Like it!

Submitted

Took a while to realise the mechanics for the first few times i just jumped and didn't realise why i couldn't succeed every time so you should have it said somewhere that guns move you up but apart from that a nice game

Submitted

Doodle cat hehe
Also, hey we have matching beginning of the games! :D
Very nice graphics and music. Though the controls are veery hard, the cat seems to be very hard to turn but extremely slippery, which makes handling him a very hard task :(
Also, what happened to the formatting on the start page, everything seems to be.. crumpled?
Still, great effort!

I just found out that 720 p screens and small screens may not display the text right because none of the ui is scaled

Submitted

Yeah, just figured that the intended way to play is the fullscreen

Submitted

incredibly frustrating which means you did a good job

Submitted

Very fun mechanic !

Submitted

Really cool game! Really like how shooting the gun boosts you upwards, fun mechanic! :)

Submitted

Size for text and leaderboard on the main menu are off the screen, dimensions wrong.

Developer

you must not have been using full screen

I was

I'm sorry I wasted your time and you know what my game is supposed to look like. Either that or you have a square monitor. Also I've loaded this on like 5 devices so if it was a bug it was webGL not me.


Edit: sorry about that reply I was a bit upset with the issues. I've taken your feedback and appreciate it! I recently found out that Unity does not really like scaling images and this info has been pretty helpful. If you see this than thanks for the feedback!

I use gun recoil to jump platform above me. Jumping is usually not enuf but fun mechanics and gameplay. Loved the art style

Submitted

Good momentum physics. Makes for a fun challenge!

Submitted

Very fun mechanics! 😼

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. The art style is concise and very well done!
  2. I like how you can travel in the air with the gun, very fun!
  3. The enemy variety keeps the game from being stale.
  4. The actual shooting mechanics feel polished.

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. Having a short tutorial at the beginning would be fantastic!
  2. This has already been said but UI scaling, this is a pretty easy fix , click on your canvis with the UI and set the  "UI Scale Mode" to "Scale With Screen Size", thisll fix that problem!

Overall 📓

Very well polished enjoyable experience. The art style was phenomenal, great direction chosen with it! Sure I had a bumpy start, but it turned into a very fun experience. Great job crew!

For some reason, the UI gets all messed up if you don’t use the full-screen mode. But it gets a bit laggy when I enable it. I’m not sure if it’s my laptop or the game.

Still, I really liked the game! Took me a while to understand that I should shoot down to reach the platforms, but once I figured it out, it was really fun to play! This is a really cool mechanic. 😊

Developer

Thank you for the insight!

Cool art but you start stuck under a platform.

See if you can get the jam staff to help you with a late patch update

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

you just got unlucky. most of the time you don't get stuck. The platforms randomly generate and occasionally one can spawn on top of you

Submitted

Il try it again
