Loved it! Very simple but sooo fun. The balancing between rounds works great, it even has an intro!
Well done!!!

Man, those carrots are fast!

Such a beautiful looking game. Very well done in creating crisp controls as well, impressive entry! :) Maybe I didn't get far anough, but I personally would like it, if every once in a while a "heart"-projectile would be flying around between the other obstacles, to get a chance of regenerating some lost health.

Hopefully, someone can reunite him with his horse! :horse: Keep jamming :)

@robin-schmitz that's pretty good advice, I have the feeling that it gets too hardcore towards the end.
Couldn't go past round 9 myself (it's just 10 rounds long).
I hope some perseverant dude will see the ending scene :sweat_smile:

Hey dude!
It's a catchy one, got lost in it for a few minutes! Great art btw, did you opted out the category?

@erlioniel thank you! I opted out 'cause trees and knight/horse graphics were pre-made assets.

Loved the bass heavy music, and the fact that all projectiles vanished after ten seconds made the genre oddly strategic. I enjoyed it. Lil hard for me.

Really fun dodging all the different kinds of fruits. I especially liked how the different fruits had different patterns / speeds. I appreciated the funny dialogue as well. Great work!

Loved this little game! Simple but fun, good controls with a great sense of humour! A little thing, but I really loved that the watermelon projectile split into multiple pieces. I was very happy to be reunited with my horse! Great job!

The horse will be my favourite character from this jam for sure. Great!

Hahaha I really love the concept + humor in this! Just a simple bullet hell game execute very well. Love the chill music + fruits being thrown at you. And I thought the watermelon daggers were bad, then I realized the carrot daggers were personal! But I did it!
And here I did the crazy impossible, but the horse was still MVP :sweat_smile: Anyways, really great minigame entry! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

A very polished jam game with a fun simple core mechanic. The way you fall over when you die made me laugh out loud. Well done!

Straightforward to start with but well paced - it definitely gets difficult and bonkers out of hand as the levels progress! Very well implemented movement and a good dose of humour.

Really good entry! Not really a bullet hell, but like the horse, I don't think you should care what genre pedantics like me think. I beat it without taking a single hit on the 2nd try. As most projectiles are shot toward the player it is easy to kite them to shoot into favorable directions.

That was fun! I got to the end in 3 attempts and my horse defeated the fruit bandits.
The pacing felt really good, the short rounds made it easy to decide to keep replaying until I beat it. Round 9 was really hard but I think round 10 ends early because it felt much shorter than the others, although I didn't keep track of the time (might be a glitch).

I enjoyed playing your game. I liked warning signs before bullets. There are well chosen GFX assets and suitable audio! Also, color palette seems to be nicely put together. It is very polished entry! I really have nothing to add here. Wait! I have an idea now! It would be (maybe) interesting to spawn some item to slow down the time (when picked up) or something like that... Good job. :smiley:

@paveldlouhy thank you! Slowing down time seems a really nice idea. Didn't really have the time to think about powerups during the jam

Very cool, I struggled once the super-fast fruit started flying haha. Love the art style , the music and the sound fx.

Fun and beautiful game. Everything looks simple but complete. I enjoyed playing your game. Great result!

Hey, I'm glad my art helped you in your project (trees), I loved your game, it is simple and very fun.
Though I could only reach the 8th level since I'm quite bad in bullet hell games haha.

Haha, I'm glad you liked it @carlos-cadori! Doing graphics is my personal enemy when I make games alone, and great free assets like yours really help save the day. Thanks again!
