Rocks aren't supposed to walk... it's your job to remind them!!

* *AD to move.*
* *SPACE to jump (tap/hold).*
* *LEFT-CLICK to shoot (and rocket jump, if you’re brave :3).*

* *Aim closer = more spread. Aim further away = more precise.*
* *Shoot the floors when they turn blue!*


I released an UPDATED VERSION on itch.io with pickups, bosses, more characters, prettier rooms, and no crashes.

:warning: :warning: :warning: :warning: :warning: :warning: :point_up: :point_up: I recommend playing this version! :point_up: :point_up: :warning: :warning: :warning: :warning: :warning: :warning:

The compo version is linked below as V2, which was completed in the available time.

I want to try this, could you please upload a Mac or web version?

Loved the game, graphics were simple but good! The rocket jumping mechanic was super fun and made for a really cool concept for a simple gameplay loop and adds a lot of character! The damage indicator on the enemies confused me a bit due to not having a health bar but overall I could see myself playing this game whenever I want time to relax and blow up some bad guys!

Me hit enemies, me happy. Me hit floor, me confused how I get my health deleted. Realize I'm standing in a SWARM of enemies, panik.

Loved it :D It was a bit confusing with telling where you were, but aggressive jumping helped.

@haokai-xu-1999 Sure thing! I've just uploaded a Mac version onto itch.io.

Thank you for suggesting I do this - I haven't done Mac builds before, so I learnt something new today. :pray:

Hope you have fun! :fire: :fire:

@myceliumhoney @kuhaku Thank you for the awesome feedback! It does get easy to lose track of the player with how quickly it zoomies around, especially when hurled into a mob of angry stabby ~~British people~~ rock monsters!

I will up the satisfaction factor with some crunchy sound FX and Solo Levelling references! :scream:

I really like the graphics and the idea overall! I do wish the movement was a little bit slower so i could control myself better and also i got confused at first when i would jump from shooting horizontally (not directly down). I feel like the idea with variable spread is interesting but doesn't really get to affect gameplay in such small rooms.

Overall, fun times, good job on the compo game!
