A nice game, I felt lost the first few minutes, but I managed to understand it by throwing that slime to the core of the washing machine. Although the gameplay is repetitive, I feel like more variety in the way the washing machine attacks could go a long way in terms of the gameplay (I believe different washing machines clean in different ways so it could be different attack patterns, and maybe a broken washing machine could shake the whole stage?), but the art is without a doubt spectacular.

I really liked how the movement flows, but I think this game could benefit from separating its identity from Ultrakill's a bit more. I especially liked the Prisoned beholder’s flesh model, and the way it tries to hide the eye before throwing the laser felt unique, the tentacle monster could really use some improvement to make it more interesting than just being a simple mindless target. Overall, an okay game.
Good game (It literally took me 40 to figure out that the bosses’ health is on the left and not on the right, and another hour to beat the three bosses and finally reach the trophy) I really liked the simplicity of the art style and gameplay, but overall a simple tutorial to indicate what are those flashing lights on the bosses (I initially thought that was just a visual presentation of a new phase coming in), and that you can only attack with the charge attack can help a lot to prevent future frustration (with the confusion of the health bar and that I thought that you just had to get close to the enemy, I thought that the charge attack was just way to deal big damage, not the only way to attack, it took me waaaaaaaaaaay too long to figure it out, or just me idk).
The most important thing to take from game jams is to be proud (or ashamed) of one’s work so it can be you learn from it. The aspect of the gameplay, although okay, could use some more cohesion, in the sense that the character wheel felt more like a longer lifeline than a choice of what to do (Mary is the only one that felt like I had to think before acting so that I had to either A. Close in with Aaron and deal big damage and risk it all with its special or B. Easily outrange with Archie and play it safe). What I really liked the most was the paper style art, it really felt unique.
Intriguing gameplay, I was confused at first, but I really liked how it was not just mindless throwing harpoons at the monsters, you actually had to think about where to throw it and move accordingly. Overall, I especially liked the art, but the gameplay could benefit with some more variety to spice up the experience.
