Hey there, thanks for playing! The blood splatter is a particle emitter emitting towards a direction relative to the player hit direction. Knockback is added to the enemy's move calculations at every frame, lerping to zero.
Appreciate the comments on the balance, we tried our best to have the game go through a slow initial phase, letting it peak, and wrapping it up with a lose screen in a reasonable amount of time for a game jam! Yes, hopefully we can implement a more fleshed out upgrade system at some point.
I liked the Papers Please but as a boat inspector premise, and the boat controlled alright. The table controls could be improved, I think I struggled to move the paper. Inspecting the boxes could also be sped up.
Great looking use of a 2D sprites on a PSX background. I was able to punch the crocs all the way up in the air, that was amusing. Kinda ended abruptly with a cute cat.
That was a good concept, I liked the fridges as a checkpoint. The jumping mechanics was quite dangerous too, I guess it's because you're an ice cube? Nice color palette too.
Fun quirky little game! Well done with the menus too. I enjoyed how the music changed. The jump controls are really precise though, I think I was punished a lot for it.
