I don't see any links to play the game on the page, can you update it so I can play it, art style looks really cool btw! (Ping me when you update it with @sicosiber)
I really love the hand drawn art style and UI and the music was a bop. The gameplay felt a bit weird to play but other than that this is a very solid entry well done.
This game is pretty 420blazeit. The art that's finished is good, and the music would help to build a really tough vibe. But it's ruined by how sluggish the character is.
The character movement is really rough, we knew it. Like this is our first action shooter so we still learning various stuff. Anyways, thanks for the feedbacks!
The dangers in the game need to stand out more, spikes look way too similar to the ground, and enemy bullets are tiny and gray. But aside from that, the graphics are really good. By the way, best UI! The gameplay works well enough, though I wish there was more feedback when the timer runs out, at first, I was confused about why I died. I also wish the shoot key wasn’t E; it’s a bit awkward to press while walking right with D. But overall, well done!
Just like others have said, movement should've been quicker, gravity heavier, bullets and dangers bigger and more obvious, reload a bit quicker too.
Also shoot on click not E. But the vibe was there guys.
Super meat boy with shotgu, I love that! Graphics are nice, and all that is happening is clear, I can see shots and where I should go, what is dangerous and what is save. Only thing that I found that was a little bit wierd, was loosing the momentum when jumping. But this is a thing that I quickly adapted to. Overall, game has interesting mechanics and is really fun to play.
прикольная игрушка, мне нравиться управление,но только когда игрок бежит и потоп прыгает, он почему то резко теряет скорость, хотя должно быть наоборот, в любом случае графика очень красивая и видно что игра сделана от души!
Liked the handdrawn map. The graphics in general are fun and the Supermeatboy-ish parody side it has to it is enjoyable. The UI could be a bit smaller so the enemies aren't hidden behind it.
Dang what an intro! The music and cutscene really adds a lot. Fun game, I struggled with the itch.io browswer build as well but I'm on firefox so maybe that's why. The jumping was a little rough, and i struggled that I couldn't aim behind me (and if I jumped over an enemy I couldn't aim down at them), but it was lots of fun and had great vibes. Keep it up!
I really liked the art style! Unfortunately the UI was really bulky and blocking some enemies on top of enemies sometimes shooting at me before I can see them or react. The controls felt a bit clunky for the platforming and having to turn my character around in order to shoot things behind me got in the way of the action. I do see the juice for this one though and would love to see what it would've look liked with more polish
The music is SO loud, at least i can turn it down. Player movement could be improved (feels kinda slow) and the bullet visibility (the bullets are very small). But other than that, pretty good game.
Interesting concept. I didn't really get the feel of depths though. I agree that the movement was slow and there were times when an enemy got behind me that I couldn't turn around to shoot without dying. I did love the art style and had fun playing it, but a little more speed to the character and maybe add shoot to the mouse as well.
Art is nice, but the movement is kind of slow, and the hurt detection is kind of unforgiving. But, I do think the presentation is very good. I suspect that the loading screen was artificially added to pad out time, which I felt detracted from the experience. I feel like the attention was put on the presentation of the game's flow and structure instead focusing on the gameplay which will be the most important part. But I liked what I saw, and I wish the best for future projects :)
Really enjoyed this one! The art and UI are super slick — very stylized and consistent. Loved the atmosphere too.
That said, the movement felt a bit too floaty for the kind of action you're going for. A snappier jump and maybe slightly faster running speed would really boost the moment-to-moment feel.
Also agree with others: bigger bullets and more visible hazards would help a ton with readability.
Still, for a jam game? Super impressive. Looking forward to what you make next!
You did really well in such a small amount of time.
I would recommend a few things if you planning to build a full scale project out of this one: - The game should be much more dynamic for the vibe you are delivering - Character should be more responsive and covered with various animations - I would not reccomend to apply force while enemy shoothing at you unless it fits very good - When enemies noticing you - there should be a clear sign (even if they are out of your screen), it is much better if enemies are in you vision when noticing you. There is kinda two approaches - one-screen levels where you can see enemies and they will shoot at you on direct sight or you should give player a time to adapt - Obstacles should have better visibility. - If you making such a shooter game I would strongly reccommend to allow player shooting while walking backwards, or just rotate the weapon 360
Anyway, you did well! Hope you will develop this one even more! Good luck!
Good graphics, nice loading screen :3, The location is good for Ludum!
You can't see the bullets, neither yours nor the enemy's. I accidentally found the "Speedup" mechanic. There is a desire to shoot with the left mouse button
The enemies are disgusting! >:(
No sprite, pushes us away, reflects our shots with theirs! In general - annoying.
You can just run through the level without destroying enemies, but this is not a big problem
An interesting idea - not very successful implementation, but still relevant!

I like how this game looks and the killing of enemies is really satisfying! The UI is top notch as well:)
The movement feels a bit too floaty and jittery that definitely needs some polish. Also for the love of all that's holy why put the shoot action on E instead of LMB? xD
PS. There is no way the loading screens need to be that long for such a small game, feels like it's loading tons of shaders and 3D models lol. But the loading screen does look cool, so I respect you wanting to show it off haha
