Invasion of The Jelly-Aliens

Cool game! I love the mechanic of how the more that get through, the less space you have to dodge. The graphics and music are very nice, and I like how you can buy upgrades between waves.

One thing I would say is that I don't like the ~5 seconds at the start where there's nothing. Being able to die in 1 hit means that rounds can be very short, and that ~5 seconds at the start gets a bit tedious after the first time. The other thing I'd say is maybe provide some more detailed stats about weapons. I died in the second wave because I bought the mortar, not realising how slow it was.

Overall, though, brilliant game!

Wow this game wasn't easy, but its cool how you got so many different things such as a shop and different weapons into the game, for me personally I loved the art I thought with a bit more polish this game could be awesome with this wacky sweet themed concept. Definitely and awesome game!

Gameplay is really tough to the point of feeling unbalanced, but the art and backstory is just adorable crazy nonsense xD

Really a nice little game you have here. I love the graphics, the sound is cute, the leveling is nice although it is a bit sad that you need to restart from the beginning after being hit one time. It is a well polished cute game, well done !

Ingenious use of a physics engine.

I really liked how the better weapons had larger cars attached, so it was harder to dodge. Made it feel like there was some element of choice. I personally enjoyed staying with the mini gun and maxing firerate. Other than that, really nice art and sound, overall a great entry.

One other thing though. Putting the player back at the start of the game when they die is a bold move for a game jam, where lots of people probably aren't going to have the patience to replay the entire thing when they die once.

Other than that though, great job!

Very nice graphics and a goofy story reminding me of some Klik&Play games I used to play in the 1990s (in a good way). I like the levelling up mechanics, but the game is still quite difficult to play on a trackpad! I wish there were several lives (or at least the option to buy an extra life with your points), as it is quite frustrating to restart from the very beginning of the game.

Nice game, a bit to hard for me though, I think getting off on a soft start would make it more accessible, always got blasted by candies that bounced around on the ground and totally wrecked me! :D Great music and graphics, an all around good entry! Cheerz!

Really fun game!!

One thing that bugged me - the difficulty curve is off. First level was super hard (it took me almost 10 tries to get it), second level was easier because I got a better weapon, but once I got the plasma gun the levels became not challenging at all. Anyway, really cool concept and implementation!

Really interesting ideas here, especially the cars getting bigger with more guns. I could not find a middle ground between getting wrecked in one hit and sent back to start and effortlessly un-existing all of the enemies with the plasma gun. The upgrade system favors specializing in one weapon, but as a player trying out a jam entry I'd rather be incentivized to use all the weapons so I see everything the game has to offer. Having upgrades for things other than just weapons would be nice too. The music is good, but the gun noises can get grating, especially with speed-boosted minigun/laser. Good work!

At first I thought it was too hard then I realized I can just stay in one spot and shoot only what could hit me and then it was too easy making it a bit boring. It looks pretty good and I appreciated the humour.
