Honestly, how could this NOT be my favorite game of the jam? Favorite character, amazing presentation, cool OST, 3D, many platforms (LINUX INCLUDED!) and all. I’ve nothing else to ask for

Cute little arcade shooter! The shooting mechanic was quite fun, I really like how there was a focus that helped lock aim, and the graphics were really cute!

Camera felt a bit awkward in the open segment at the start though - I wanted to see more of the field, and I kept getting ambushed by ghosts dropping down on me without much way to fight back. Very much enjoyed my time with it, thanks for make!

Young Alice pulls a Cirn't. Nice bright arcadey game and good music. I enjoyed being able to climb around, and I was thankful for the high bullet visibility.

"Wait, where the heck are my wings?" 6 AM mood.

banger alert

good movement and everything blows up when you shoot it: how all games should be

the zone is pretty nice to jump around with lenient unity jump refreshing. wait this is godot? damn alright

great game, great game, but my dear friend: the boss hp bar. what is the concept here. why is it that shape. why does it keep going. how

i just poked around and saw: one of you guys is the suwa moriya 64 guys. of course this one was gonna be good. hats off

Developer

it’s just supposed to be a normal health bar, i messed up the scaling flags on it lol

wouldn’t be the game jam experience without a little last-minute incomprehensible UI jank!

I had a lot of playing this! The controls are really nice, and the visualization and effects are great! I also love making Alice clap to the music because it was so nice, and for the boss fight, I had a lot of fun sniping the boss from on top of a tree.

Definitely an interesting concept and a solid game.

I was definitely frustrated with the twin-stick controls, they were so wonky for me that I struggled with the second level and the boss fight. However, I have to admit there was thought put into the gameplay, I liked jumping on the mushrooms and getting higher with every bounce.

The visuals are incredibly strong for this one, the low-poly style works so well here and the overall style is bright and lighthearted. Music is also very cool. 

I expect to see more high-quality work from you in the future.

I came here for the awesome low poly graphics. I stayed because the bgm goes way too hard!
