The idea is really good and the visuals are nice, but I would improve the jumping and the UI a bit.

Nice idea and good use of some free assets. The cloud with the flashes could use some improvement though and the movement felt really bad, there are a lot of free tutorials on youtube you could look at to improve it for your next version if you plan to build on it. ;D

This is interesting - a short experience, but a nice way to showcase an idea. I would recommend not de-spawning the bullets, as it would be nice to run out from under shade to collect a bunch of bullets at once. Also, I think that the ground needs more friction. Well done!

Who haven't felt the need to shoot on a raincloud if it rains five days on end? Finally I can do this!

I really loved the visuals! They are super cute! Only negative thing I can think of is that you can trap yourselve between the left wall and the log, anyhow you included the reset position button so i think you are aware about that.

Great entry, especially for you first game!

Thanks for you kind words. It really cheered me up :-)

Congratulations on submitting your first game! This was definitely not an easy theme for beginners so it's a big accomplishment that you were able to upload. The game itself was kinda fun, running around to collect ammo is clever. The biggest issue I have is not being able to move in the air is really annoying. I wish you best of luck in future jams!

I love the graphics. No big fan of pixel art in general, but yours is really good. Also the color palette is welll chosen. Only the lightning looks wrong in that sense. Think an algorithm for drawing  it in a pixel style from start point to an end point with some branching on the way shouldn't be that hard. If you are looking for the extra challenge, search for L-systems ;-)

Just rated this other game and praised it's jump mechanic - maybe it helps you to find the issue that lets your mechanic break: https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-4/rate/1659611

All-in-all: Good game!

Good game! The character is a bit slippery which made it difficult to get on platforms and over obstacles, and the enemy was a bit dark which made it hard for me to figure out what to shoot at. Other than those, good job.

Hey thanks for the feedback 

-I too noticed that the player movement was not right but i couldn't figure out a way to solve it in time and I will try to make the enemy stand out from its background
