That reversed control is crazy :)
Nice game! good job
Good game :D but it needs to explain what i do in the game :D other then that its a pretty good game :)
if you would like to test my game:

It's definitely buggy but honestly I have trouble finding much cohesion to it - the bugginess isn't telegraphed at all and simply nothing seems to work. The game feels unplayable. Cool particle effects but, I think the idea could use ironing out. Perhaps there's good potential if you clearly explain the bugs or at least introduce them over time, and I mean there has to be some alternative. We have a gun but it doesn't seem to do anything (maybe it kills snails? It didn't seem to, and I also couldn't tell what the blue circles were up to). Sorry if it's harsh, props for completing the game for the jam and I hope it was a great experience of learning and you had fun making the game!
Thanks
There's quite a few elements bugging out here - which definitely goes with the theme of the jam! The weird controls is a pretty funny idea. The music is a little irritating, and I couldn't kill a single snail and get a coin. Not sure how I was supposed to do it, because shooting at them or jumping on them didn't work.
A difficult game but very entertaining, well done!
Thank you
This is a rather strange game. I like the idea of flipped controls, but my mind was like: "What the actual f-... I mean... heck is going on?!". I certainly made me chuckle though!
Ultimately, it had a fun vibe to it.
Thank you
Nice work! The controls took a while to get used too, I'm not sure if that was the interpretation for the theme, but it just felt difficult to control rather than fun. Which doesn't mean it was a bad idea. You could still use it but maybe it is a consequence of getting hit by enemies that your controls for a short period flip around, then returning to normal.
Great work otherwise, keep working on it!
Thanks for the feedback
i enjoyed the music, and how it built! game was a lil hard for me (hella wonk controls) and i wasn't quite sure how to proceed, but overall had a really nice and playful feel to it! good work!
Thank you
I didnt know how to win or beat the game haha but a nice little game! I hope franklin manages to escape and start a new life!
There is no end in this game right now, I wasn’t sure how to make it satisfying. This is why Franklin will attempt the escape in the sequel. Thanks for playing my game.
Absolute madness, this game is straight from hell, I hated it but also loved it xD nice job. Btw I got 50 coins and died, is there a real ending or is it just scoring ?
It’s just scoring since I couldn’t find a good way to make an ending. Also great job on the 50 coins! My high score is 11.
Having the instructions wasd to move and then immediately having them janky was fun. Took me longer than I'd like to admit to get comfortable walking and jumping XD
Unfortunately for me the music is somewhat jarring. It was probably on purpose, but it was a little much for me. If it was intentional, one thing you can do to trigger that feeling without making it overpowering is to have a regular track that is more calm and occasionally does something unexpected/jarring, but not for a long period.
You actually liked the movement trick? You’re one of the first haha. And for the music, it was meant to be annoying but not that annoying. I guess that comes with experience (this is my second ever track created). Anyways, thanks for the feedback!
i like the idea, of intentionally implementing wanky controls
Thanks!
Too buggy :D :D :D.
I think that at the beginning of the game it would be a good idea to make an introductory training level. I like the idea of the game but it is very repulsive at the very beginning. Good job!
Ahh that is a good idea!
Haha I get it, the controls are switch on purpose. I also like the gun not pointing in the right direction (That usually happens when you start a mouse follow-shooting game haha) Purhaps some funny dialog text would make the errors seem more intentional and not actual real errors. Great job submitting a game~ Please check out my browser game when you can
Thanks! And that text is a really good idea, I might even add it in an update. I will try to check out your game as well.
I think the main thing this game is missing is a way to see your score, or some sort of feedback after shooting things. The controls were hard to get used to, but I see how you were trying to fit the theme with "buggy" controls. Congrats on making this in only two days, though!
First of all, thanks. Second of all, there is a score, but I messed up on the UI so it is blurry and it is not at the top most left cornerm but it is on the left side.
The controls are really difficult to use, but after all it's a ok game! the graphics aren't the best but they are good, the music is somehow great, and the creativity is good!
Thanks!
hard to control
Thank you for the feedback
It is quite hard to get used to the different controls :)
Thank you for the feedback. The controls were done on purpose to make it weird but I will take this into account
