I like the overall concept for the game, but the floaty controls make it kind of hard to enjoy. I got stuck being bounced between multiple enemies without much agency about it.

I couldn't unzip the file but I'm pretty sure its an issue on my end sorry I couldn't rate it
It seems like a pretty feature complete product which is always a big accomplishment, but the controls makes the movement feel very slippery.
Overall concept is good but control and movement is super tricky.
@chem0pren @iamtalin @vovin thank you all for your feedback! I agree that the movement was VERY slippery, I definitely need to work on that in the future
**Overall, I thought it was a good game!**
Some notes I had: * Controls are a little slide-y for my personal liking. But that's just me. * Overall a good concept, I enjoyed it.
Overall though, I enjoyed it! Thanks for participating!
Nice game! Really liked you did it with python. Did you used any kind of framework/engine or pure python with some libraries??
Got an error when closed the app. Just to notify the bug or know if it's a problem with my pc :cold_sweat: Captura.PNG
@Josef21296 Thanks for the compliment! :) I made the game using the Pygame library, but the engine I made myself. As for the bug, it's nothing to do with your PC, It's just an error that occurs when you quit pygame which I haven't fixed yet. I was sort of worried during the Jam that if I changed the code cx_freeze would refuse to compile it.
7zip gives an error trying to unzip the file. I found I could get it to work be renaming it to a .rar though.
The controls felt very unresponsive to me making it a bit hard to get into.
I played for a bit while. I looks interesting but I somehow frustrating due to the floating movement and bounce against the monsters, which makes me lose control. Besides in the shopoing menu it says handgun ammunition but I have a rifle... After all hope we can see it later as it's fun.
I like the idea of not collecting coins especially when the effect is that it makes the enemies harder to deal with. I was not sure how I attacked since I have a mouse targeting system making it look like there should be a projectile that I can shoot by right-clicking but in reality I have a melee weapon, which is something I enjoy more than shooting at targets, except I did not realize I had to move into the enemies to attack them. Might I suggest having some sort feedback like flashing enemies or a "hit" sound that gives a sense of "yeah! I got him!" :D
