Cutesy aesthetic with gruelling Gameplay! Would maybe suggest allowing the player to shoot more times than just 3?

@mossgames You can shoot more times than 3, there's an upgrade for that. Thank you for playing ^_^
Nice
I love the bgm in this game. This is for sure a quality idea that could be expanded into something great. Reminds me of downwell.
This was a very juicy and good feeling game! I found it overly difficult to line up a shot on the quick moving enemies, but otherwise all the mechanics seemed really well executed. The theme is well incorporated and makes for some tough choices between health and ammo
@youpeoples Yeah I guess you could say I was somewhat inspired by Downwell. And thanks :)
@nick-rafalski I did realize that it was hard to line up shots towards the end of the compo, probably has to do with the hitboxes. I couldn't easily modify the hitboxes though because of how I hacked everything together lol. And thanks, this might be the first time someone said that my game fits the theme well :D
Really nice Downwell-like game. My only complaint is that it's kind of empty. Besides the 2 enemies and spikes there isn't very much to it. And maybe a number somewhere of how for you've gotten would be nice. But still a good job for 48 hours!
Very interesting job for solo! I really like pace and visuals of the game.
I really like the look and feel of the player character!
I played this game on stream, you can find the timestamp at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14MpruNv7RN4pVCr4go77VXJuePogxHuI9intx5phEqk/edit?usp=sharing
@benburgh Thanks for playing! I've already watched it, I really appreciate your feedback and sorry I couldn't be there, it turned out the stream was gonna be 12 hours from when I expected :P
I enjoyed this game a lot. It is challenging but still not too hard - good job with balancing that. I could play this some more. :D Also I see the theme... Overall very good job for a compo!
Oh man, this was the... I mean... how to say it... AWESOME!
Just the perfect balance of everything.
It takes you about minute and half to forget that your character is just a rectangle with eyes :)
It is addictive.
Awesome game! Felling of the game is very polished.I could see this going into a very nice direction (multiplayer, more levels and stuff)
Really cool plattformer. I really enjoyed it. The only thing is that the blind jumps can sometimes feel unfair because you don't see far down and there is no possibility to look down (pan down the camera). But other than that, awesome game :)
I think this is the compo game that I have enjoyed playing the most, it's just my kind of game. Thank you for coming to the stream and posting it, always nice with a fellow Löve developer. The best part of this game is how much juice and polish it has, it just shines in the game-feel department!
Fantastic job!
Pretty solid game! I'd love to see some more indepth upgrades like maybe you take fall damage but you get a 3 way spread on your fire? Like pro/con upgrades, I think those always make for the most interesting upgrades
Quad jump! (I got killed almost immediatelly after I got it. Oh well...) This was really moreish. I'm not sure how many times I've tried, but it was plenty.
The controls are a bit too floaty, but the camera is still too slow to catch up, so falling without an extra jump is a recipe for disaster. The blood drops are probably purely random, but you could probably force it after a while. I had one level where I killed every enemy and got just 1 and on the following level, I got around 5 (at least 22 of which were useless) and 1 actually fell down the next-level entry never to be seen again :laughing: Some kind of score (kills, distance etc.) wouldn't go amiss.
I just wanted to come back to let you know that I have been humming on the music, when I realized that I had to come back and raise the audio score from 4.5 to 5, it's honestly one of the best that I have encountered in a compo. You should be proud!
@simon-rahnasto aww, thanks! [I have the music on my soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/icylavah/sets/shop-till-you-drop-dead-soundtrack-ludum-dare-44) btw and you can [have a listen to the music for my LD40 game](https://soundcloud.com/icylavah/crystal-curse-main-theme-ludum-dare-40) if you'd like
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
