Nice idea, and like The BuffED said need controller ^^

Definitely needed a controller on that one haha but interesting game and fun to focus on platforming and fighting the enemies at the same time. The 3D aspect is impressive!

Cool little game ! Well done, in three days, I had fun playing it for a bit !

Ha-ha a nice green monster. Gun control by power of mind. Good job.

...had fun playing this game.

I had a lot of fun playing this (my entry on the leaderboard was "Yas Queen Slay" lol)! But it might've been more fun with a controller. I didn't love having to use the controls to switch between shooting left or right, I'd rather have had my shots go in the direction I'm facing and save the handwork. It was a bit hard to platform at points too, like I thought I had certain jumps only to fall through the cracks.

But I thought the character designs were very creative, and "My Score Sucks" cracked my ish up when I first saw it. Overall solid! 😄

Lol! I'm glad you had fun, it's definitely a lot smoother with the controller. That's a good idea for the keyboard, I should've thought of that! The other idea I had was a mouse, but I didn't finish that implementation in time

The jumping mechanics are a bit off and could be improved, but it is a very fun game and I had to go get a controller and get onto the leaderboard!

Developer

Glad you had fun! I agree completely with the jumping mechanics needing some more love 😅

The controls for aiming were very tough on keyboard, but  I liked how that made you more methodical with dispatching those green creatures; instead of run-and-gun, I had to stop-aim-fire, which added a bit of strategy to the platforming aspect of the game.

Thanks for playing! 

The game isn't bad but the controls could be improved. The sound affects are good and the art style is nice. Overall 3/5.

Thanks! I started to work on adding a mouse control to make aiming without a controller easier, but wasn't able to get it done in time. The sound effects were a lot of fun to make, you should year them without the filters applied 😂
