cool game! i like the frame with the moving spiders. the fast-paced-ness of the game really added to the fun for me, it felt addicting dying and responding so fast, and i had a really good time just shooting! great job :)
Hey thanks for playing first of all. second of all thanks for the great feedback :D
Hope ya enjoyed yaself
Really nice simple and fun game, and putting it in a little console made it even better!
Hey thanks :D I have always wanted to do an idea like this, glad I was able to do it!
Thanks for playin the game :)
Fun to play but I found out that clicking mouse button without moving at all was enough for winning. Overall a easy short fun game to play. Well done
I agree with you, there is a lot more fine tuning that needs to happen in order to get the game to feel like you're playing against a human. This is the most complicated piece of AI ive ever created lmao, so I'm just learning, stuff will get better in the future.
Thanks for you playin :D i appreciate it
Really cool presentation(in the gameboy screen) and sprite art! Good job with the topic and fun ideas. Good job submitting a unique game! Pls check out mine if you have time.
Already have and it is great :D
Thanks for playin :D
Not sure what bugs were the intentional part haha, well, neat idea and I haven't seen a fighting game like this in the jam yet so good creativity! The shooting is done with the mouse so there's no reason why the gun shouldn't be aimed with the mouse too rather than follow your controls. More feedback elements will take this game from solid to epic (particles, shake, etc).
There are spiders crawling around in the scene (intentional bugs) and then there are plenty of intentional bugs if you turn on the machine and play it for a minute or two. The enemy is buggy as well, that one not so intentional but is fitting
Thanks for playing :D and great feedback, that is very much appreciated!
The enemy kept respawning even if i didnt shoot a bullet??
lmao rip, yeah the enemy keeps a certain discttance from the players so he will just move away from you instantly out of spawning which is no beuno, need to fix that up.
Thanks for playin :D
The original game, made first when I was in 8th grade :D

I thought this was a pretty fun game! But the controls felt very unresponsive to me(might just be me :/)
youre probably right! thanks for playing :D
It would be cool if you could play my game! https://llamadev-games.itch.io/test-slime
oN IT!
:)
I really liked your game! Awesome work!
Yo thanks man :D thanks for playin it!
lmao @devlogerio
Bugs crawling around the screen are a very nice addition to the game, great idea! :)
Thanks alot my guy! Thank you for checking out my project, and Thank you for the nice comment :D
The game is looking good, how ever I prefer a bigger screen for the game; I also encountered a bug witch I found so funny (He was standing there and doing nothing):
lmfao this is amazing! I've never seen that before :0 I dont even wanna fix that bug its too good. Who wins in this situation?
No one, but I assume it as a rest position (maybe pause), cuz the game is so action active :)
lmao love it, thanks for playin :D
Nicely done! I have to admit, it took me a while to understand that I had to press a button to start haha
Thank you!
yeah that stupid button!!! Wish I woulda made it more obvious, thanks for playinng :D
Still a very cool game!
Thanks alot :)
Nice game! I don't know why exectly but it is very addictive!
Whoopsies was not trying to make it addictive !
Thanks for playin it doe :)
the game is simple and very fun i like it. i like the graphics a lot. you should work on this maybe turn it into a plat-former or something.
check out my game. tell me what you think about it.
Well thank you kind sir, I will most definitely check out yo game :D
Interesting game! I liked how you implemented the enemy, it was actually funny to fight him. The turn on TV button took some time to find, and I didn't understand how the game fit the topic.
Me and my friends submission: https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552908
Ayee thanks for the feedback bruh, I appreciate your point of view Thanks for playin, I'll check out yo game later tonight :D
I clicked the link, the game finished loading and then nothing happened. I waited there for sometime and then I thought it might be because of my browser plugin blocking something from loading. After sometime I just randomly thought to click that RED button in the middle. And well, that was an experience, a funny one 😂.
Now about the game itself, I didn't know what was going on. am I the red dude or the blue dude? does
doesgetting hit gives you points? or is that the other dude's points? Is this multiplayer or am I playing against an AI? Why is there a dude stick out from something on the right side?But with all these questions in my mind, something about this game made it a really fun experience, I just wanted to keep moving and shooting even though I didn't know what was going on 😅. Overall it's a well made and polished game for a game jam, Good Job, I really enjoyed playing it😄.
Oh my goodness! First off let me just say you are like the first person I've seen to leave a rly constructive comment :D so thank you for that, you've given me a real glimpse into how your Psyche interacts with the game, and that's rly valuable for a game developer.
The game is so damn buggy and small and held together by coding "duct tape", that little guy in the corner by the sign is me and when you hover over him he tells you to turn on the WonderBoy but I screwed up the canvas somehow so it doesnt work, oh well.
The whole time I was making the game I had a thought in my head that the on button didnt look obvious enough, idk if I just ran out of time or just pushed it to the side on purpose but yeah I was meaning to make the on button more prominent (hence the sign lol with me next to it)
Overall I was going for much more of an aesthetic than a real fun game. And I'm very proud of myself for it :D I did all the art coding etc by myself which I usually dont do, I'll usually have my girlfriend do my art and I do the rest but this was all me! except for the music, that's an old song my buddy made that I tweaked slightly to put in this game.
Thanks so much for playing :D and thanks for you honest feedback its much appreciated <3
have a great rest of your day!
😄
I hate the red guy :D
Well done!
I hate the red guy too :))
Hahaha :D
Nice little game with a cool start!
I liked how I had to get hit to gain points :D
Keep up the great work!
whoopsies, not intended lol, youre supposed to get points when you kill the enemy but i justmessed up with placing the UI
Thanks for playing :D
Nice fun little game! Nice job :)
ayeeee, thanks for playin! and thanks for da comment :D
