Cheers to your first game jam!
To start with, here are some things I liked:
- The graphics, specifically the background. It felt like a chaotic kind of good, and I don't know, I just really loved it haha.
- The SFX feel good for what they do. Good picks!
- The HUD is clear and does exactly what it has to do.
- Volume bar in the options panel! <3
Now some tips I feel like they might be helpful for future game jams:
- The SFX, while good, are really off when it comes to volume levels. Some are very loud, some are way lower. This can be fixed rather easily by using a (free) tool such as Audacity. Drop your audio file in there, ctrl + a the entire track, go to "Effects" select "Amplify" and it'll automatically adjust the volume to the maximum volume without it hitting the red- if you do this for all of the audio, they'll all be on the same level.
- In a game like this with short fire rates, it might be beneficial to put on an "autoshoot" option by just holding the mouse button.
Besides that, I feel like you did great delivering your first playable game jam game ever, and hopefully you enjoyed it enough to do more of those in the future; it will only get better!
Thanks for your submission <3
