cute little entry. my thoughts:
1) this could easily be web game, there would be more players
2) first thought it bugged, turn out when pick up weapon it's not enough just to press left or right mouse btn, it counts where you click)

Interesting game. I really like the mechanic of using both clicks on the mouse for shooting. Great job!

This game felt like it needed more polish. The graphics were beautiful, the level destruction was very fun, but as a game it didn't feel like it had a lot going for it.

The only weapon that felt useful was the default machine gun and I was simply holding left click the entire time while shooting at enemies. The hitboxes were a bit off as when you were on higher terrain, you could not shoot enemies on a different y level. Often the destroyed terrain would hide small enemies making it so you couldn't see them at all. The bosses also didn't have health bars which would have made those fights much better.

The animations and overall design were very cute and have a lot of potential to work with a game that has good mechanics. Would love to see more in the future, there's good potential here!

All creatures are sooo cute! The player control feels awesome. Sometimes the bullets feel like shooting at some place above enemy's head.

This was really cool! Like some other comments, some polish would have made it even more amazing, but still, an incredible game for 72 hours

A fellow crab appreciator! This was really good! The additional sawblade and cannon weapons were fun, the breakable sandcastle terrain was cute and also enjoyable. I was even surprised at there being a second level, proves you were able to get a lot done in the time of the jam. I can see a lot more potential with this; more weapons, movement based upgrades, stuff like that. Brilliant work, hope you enjoyed the jam!

Nice little game, I don't know how long it is though. I couldn't seem to finish the second stage. Might be a good idea to mention the objective at some point.

Oh, des compatriotes!
Bravo pour ce jeu, très fun :) Je n'ai fait que le 1er level, parce que j'ai rencontré un bug bloquant au cours du second (à un changement d'arme, je n'ai jamais pu mettre le hammer, il a fallu un alt F4).
Les graphismes sont vraiment cool, le sound design est drôle, c'est assez jouissif de tout détruire (vive la gatling!). Du chipotage : j'aurais voulu que les débris mettent moins de temps à disparaître (j'ai assez souvent dû les traverser alors que je pensais qu'ils étaient encore là comme obstacles).
Encore bravo !

Hey!
Well done for this fun game :) I've only done the 1st level, because I encountered a blocking bug during the second (when changing weapons, I was never able to put the hammer on, I had to alt F4).
The graphics are really cool, the sound design is funny and it's quite fun to destroy everything (long live the gatling!). Some little detail: I would have liked the destroyed buildings to take less time to disappear (I often had to run through it when I thought it was still there as an obstacle).
Well done again!
