Ranked from 19 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game apply the limitation (and optionally, the theme)?
Well, there is a boss at the end of the game stage. I'm not sure if it applies the theme well, but basically the plot is that there is a human who came to the Afterlife and now the spirits there are berserk. So the Afterlife is on the edge, maybe?

Hey, cool submission :)

The game feels simple but really satisfying to play, so congratulations on the jam!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

I was already impressed, but then I saw that you made the game using TIC-80, and I was even more impressed! Great game!

Developer

Thanks! :D

gerat comsept and exicution the stars in the bacground are distracting

Thanks for your feedback!

That was great! Love that you made a game using TIC-80! I think the boss battle could've been even better if the attack patterns were varied. Perhaps there was a glitch, but the boss stayed in a single spot (when at about halfway on HP) and only did a circular spreading fireball attack.

Developer

That isn’t a bug - I DID code the game to do that (since I was too lazy to just make him move to the center XD)

But thanks for the feedback!

Well done! I love the details like the stars moving at different speeds and the variety of enemies. The boss fight was done very well too. I've never played as a piece of toilet paper before, it was fun :) Joking ofcourse. Good job all around.

Thank you!

Really good game! I like how the game gave a big room for error at the start, really helped in picking up controls and overall playability. Really cute characters as well. Great Job!

Developer

Wow, thank you!

fun game i like the art and mechanics very simplistic although i didnt get the requirement and theme 

Developer

There is a Boss at the end of the game, and reading the description will give you info on how it implements the theme. But thank you for the feedback!

Awesome job! I usually find bullet hells to be frustrating, but giving the player abundant health gives them room to experiment and learn the movement and shooting (definitely a good call, especially for a jam game)! I also thought the art fit the game really well, and was easy to read even amongst all the chaos

Developer(+1)

I made the game very easy (just in case), looks like this did help! Thank you for pointing that out!

Hi there!

Interesting little game! As you said, your background story introduces the theme, but to be fair it's not really visible when playing the game (if you don't read the description, nothing in game make you feel "oh yeah that's how the developer implemented the 'on the edge' thing").

Sprites having the same aspect ratio: YES! I really dislike when sprites are not consistent, so I'm super happy when I find a game having a proper pixel art done :)

The bullet hell at the end is really cool! Maybe you could improve that by a bit just by making the bullets more visible (outlines maybe?) because on the blue background I had sometimes trouble to keep track of them, especially the green ones.

It's overall a good game, very short but super fun.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

This game was really cool.  All of the art assets mixed together nicely and the pixel resolution was consistent throughout.  I really dug the actual gameplay and dialogue too.

That’s nice to know! Thanks for the feedback!

Nice game although I must point out that it is very difficult with the stars moving behind you while other objects are flying at you. If you get the chance, please take a look at my game.

Developer(+1)

I understand… also had the same problem, might make the stars darker.

And I will check out your game, no worries!

I like the style

Developer

Ok, thanks!

Thank you so much!!

Pretty cute shmup ! It played really well, it looked good and the music fits the game nicely (even if a bit short). Writing was pretty cute too, Robert the parapsychologist had nothing to do here.

I would have liked a bit more feedback when you hit the ennemies but other than than a solid implementation.

Good work :)

Developer(+1)

I actually named Robert after Robert the Doll, to fit in with the paranormal theme XD

Thanks for your feedback!
