Great idea and the artwork is very high quality! Great use of AI. It was often tricky going back to hit the switches once the gunner had moved off screen (maybe the camera should just follow your character?) - this was also an issue for the boss battle, where the gunner sat so low on the screen I could only see the very edges of the boss's guns and shield. I also wonder whether it would be okay to make the two characters not collide with each other? On a few occasions I couldn't get up in front in time to protect the gunner :( Lots of fun and personality in this, it's an idea I'd love to see some expansion on ^_^

Hi ! I like the "protection" concept, and it fits the theme really well :) And this game was made with Godot !
Here are a few things you could improve in a future version :
- I didn't see the beginning text at first,
- the restart button would be better if drawn in a similar visual style as the rest of the game,
- it's not obvious you can dash.
Good job ! :)

Fish n' ChillReally unique concept, visuals are neat and simple, the level design could have been better. The only thing which annoyed me the most was the fact that the cursor was not hidden. And also you could have make the character move in the direction the shield was facing.

Blades And ZombiesI didn't know being a meat shield was such a difficult job. They make it look so easy in the movies

Solve The CaseI love that in this one you play the supportive/tank person and have your AI bro do all the shooty shooty. That's a good contract to all the games with the AI/NPC being the supporter/helper and the player being the shooty boi/grill/div. The visuals and animations are nice and react well with the controls.
The buttons in the levels seem like they could have more of a puzzle to them, so it adds to the gameplay a little more. But that's me as a puzzle biased person saying that!
Cute game!

Uncollaborative AIsGood game, liked the concept a lot, quite unique! The movement was a tad too slow, but otherwise had a lot of fun!

Circuit CircusUI could use some work but other than that I really enjoyed the game, great submission :)

Frogue LegacyVery interesting concept, you definitely nailed the theme! This has lot of potential!
A little advise: i feel like the character should move faster, same for the dash! It would add more excitement to the game ;)
