About

*You are a jam stuck in the ground, it's your mission to survive the best you can against the bacterias!
Be careful with how you use your jam tho...*

How to play

What you have to do is pretty simple, dodge the enemies and survive the best you can, you use your energy to move/shoot so it's up to you on how you'll manage it. Enemies drop jams as well so you can recover a bit of it, you have an experience bar with amazing buff choices for each level.

Keys

Pretty cool game, as a vampire survivors fan, i have to say that i liked the game having the classic gameplay but with a very original theme.Great job.

great game! lot's of interesting mechanics and it's very replayable too, the music does get very repetitive though.

As anon said, classic gameplay with a twist, I loved the art and the cute jam/bacteria animations, I managed to just keep running and didn't really see any bacteria until round 11, fun game otherwise though (shooting a fireball without mouse controls is surprisingly hard)

very cool, my only complaint is the music.

Juicy! It's fun to play, but I think it might be more interesting to use mouse to change the direction of attack .

I loved animations, characters. I walked out of the world (or the tiled ground area). I don't know if it was intentional but time starts before the wave 1 comes. At first wave I saw no creatures around.

It could be better to fire to the cursor direction actually. That was the only thing disturbed me a bit. Congrats!

cute art! Those blobbies made me try the game.

Fun game! While I appreciate the simplicity, sometimes I wished that I'd had more control over shooting direction. Not least because I spent a lot of time fleeing. I liked the customization possible with the buffs though and it made up for it in some ways.

Also, pretty pixel art! Very coherent and across the game too. Music was a very good match as well. Overall this game felt more or less finished, which is quite impressive in itself.

Common concept in survival shooting game. But the movement speed of enemies need more adjustment to get better game experience.

Enjoyed playing it! was satisfying to level up and get the upgrades. I liked the idea of only having so much energy, made it a lot more difficult.

Really fun, loved the upgrades system. Great art, the whole game feels very polished. The background music loop could be a bit longer imo, nice work!

Really fun game! I was in the wave 77 (4428 points), but there were so many enemies the game lagged and I didn't see where I was moving, which is sad. I liked the graphics, the simple gameplay and the audio. Really cool game!

I really liked the upgrade system in this, feels like there's a lot of depth that can be uncovered in it. It could do with an alternate button for fire it was hard moving around and firing all with the left hand. Great gameplay though, good job :)

Great game. Loved the upgrades and the enemy varieties. I was gonna suggest putting terrain obstacles in, but then I thought about it - and the little yellow, slow-moving slimes are better. So yeah, lotta fun!
