“A charming retro game with a lot of potential”

This game has a special charm; from the very beginning, the visual style caught my attention, and the retro vibe reminded me of how much I love the Game Boy aesthetic. You can really see the care put into the graphics and the effort behind the design.

That said, I do think the mechanics for upgrades and equipment could be explained a bit better. At first, I was a bit lost trying to figure out how to equip and upgrade, which led to several runs where I couldn’t survive much because I didn’t understand how to get a weapon. Also, I could only play in a small window (as shown in the screenshot), since it didn’t allow me to make it bigger.

It’s a shame that the project didn’t continue after the Jam, because with some polishing, this little gem could shine even brighter. Great work, definitely a memorable game!

“Beautiful graphics, but a bit confusing”

The visual style of this game is really appealing; the graphics are beautiful, and you can tell that every detail was carefully crafted. That said, I have to admit that at one point, I got a bit lost trying to understand the main objective. I also found some bugs with object collection, and on my ultrawide screen, some things didn’t display quite right. Even with those details, it’s impressive to see how much progress one person managed to make in just two or three days; you can tell there were a couple of sleepless nights in there.

I’m barely getting started in the world of game development, and although I have around seven years of experience in frontend web (and some other tech stuff), I’m still amazed by what some people can do alone and in such a short time (especially in this area, which is so multifaceted and where everything can take ages to make and polish). With the style it has, I think the game has a lot of potential, and with a few tweaks, it could turn into something really interesting.

I liked it, keep it up. It was a great job.
