The idea isn't bad; running away from gameover text. However, the gameplay wasn't engaging for me:

  • Jumping didn't work half of the time
  • I could only shoot straight infront of me (instead of aim with the mouse)
  • Enemies don't give feedback when they die (they just disappear)
  • The music is quite repetitive

Though, the art and post-processing are nice.

seems you made a mistake while uploading the build, as it is marked for Linux and Mac but as far as I can see it will only run on windows (As the only way to start it is through a .exe)

Developer

Oh, thank you for pointing that out

Submitted

I loved the visuals, although I didn't like the gameplay that much, it isn't really diverse and kinda monotonous at times. Also the music was pretty nice too. Overall, a really decent entry

Developer

Thanks for your feedback

Fun game, but what are bugged birds for?

greate cute game! i reachd the "you win" and the game just kept going^^

Developer

Submitted

Thank you! I definitely will

The game seemed short and monotonous to me, during the game I made few decisions, it would be nice to diversify it with bonuses, traps, pickups, enemies, of your choice :). I liked the graphics and music! Good job!

Developer

Those are good ideas, thanks. I just didn't have the time to add any more

pretty cool game with fun mechanics, the art and the sound were really good...

Thanks, I appreciate it!

This is a pretty cool game, its very simplistic and accomplishes what it wants to, however I was able to "kill" the GAME OVER and stand there without worrying about it ever reaching me. Also having negative health, is that on purpose? It was pretty fun though!

Developer

Being able to kill the GAME OVER was an incomplete mechanic xD I wanted that to be a way to 'win'. Thanks for playing!

Wow, really cool game. The best looking one I saw so far. And the sound design is good to create a hacker action movie vibe

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Good job making this in only half the jam time! My main issues with the game were the lack of a tutorial and the slow jumping, but great interpretation of the topic!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah a tutorial would really help haha

I like the visuals, pixel art is really well done. Game feels a bit unresponsive at times and that's the only thing that bugs me. Overall pretty cute game.

I AGREE WITH CHOOOOOOOOO

Developer(+1)

Yeah the movement needs work, thank you for your feedback!

Submitted

Very cool pixelart and animations. The game feel could be improved tho.

Submitted

what do you mean exactly?

Submitted(+1)

With game feel I mean stuff like player feedback and animations that support the action that the player is taking, If you for example jump it should really feel like a jump, or if you hit something you should feel the impact. This can be achieved by camera movement, sound design and animations besides others.  If you have great game feel even the simplest action can feel very satisfying.

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback
