Excellent work on your first game jam! I loved crushing those tiny guys (how many of them live in one house?!). To me, it didn't make much sense that the "rage" level went down when I got shot - that should make me more enraged! That said, it was a nice measure of how well I was doing. The SFX were great, and overall, this is a pretty good game. Well done!
Thank you! I had been waiting for someone to question how big those houses were :p The little'uns are known for their large families ;)
I had the same worry about how intuitive the "rage" mechanic was, and I actually had the same thought as you! I was also worried about making it too complicated, as it was really just an analogy for "health" as you inferred. I'm glad you brought it up. It's valuable to know what players are thinking.
Thank you for playing, and thank you for the nice feedback!
