Hey! Thank you for your submission! This game was interesting to play.
I enjoyed the artwork of the Main Character, the Weapon, and the Pack. I also liked the cute/minimalistic look of the enemies in game. This game made me feel like I was playing a retro shooter from the early 2000s or the 90s.
I don't know if I'm just bad at the game, didn't understand a specific mechanic, or if the game was just really hard, but I died a LOT. It felt like my bullets weren't doing anything. Your GDD says that successful attacks 'heal' you, but it seemed like all of my bullets were draining my life and nothing was regenerating my life. It meant that I wasn't capable of killing the full number of enemies on the objective list.
I always like games that have additional movement abilities; so clever use of the jet pack and incorporating that into the theme.
Your GDD had what I was expecting. I noticed your information under the "art" heading, but it may be helpful in the future to have a color palate that you're working with. some of the colors worked really well, while others felt a little out of place.
The controls felt fine, it was just a little hard for me to tell if they were working 100% because either a lot of my bullets were missing, it took a lot to kill each enemy, or the bullets 'disappeared' before hitting the enemies because they were too far away. I'm unsure exactly what was transpiring.
Great game, if a bit difficult. Good art style, very nostalgic sounds, feeling, vibe, responsive controls, well thought-out GDD; overall a great offering for this GameJam!
