I hope you enjoyed making this, and you have learned what to improve on for next time!

@deathbysnail, Yes of course thanks! I just took, it seems to me, the idea of a game that is too based on content and only on the second day I realized that it was difficult to simplify. It was also worthwhile to pay more attention to the gameplay related to the theme of LD. Definitely, the next time I need to come up with a smaller game.

Interesting game, the graphics are pretty cool. I think it's a bit difficult to controll the player. A healthbar would have been good

I liked the art style and the shooting felt pretty cool. I also liked the idea of the upgrades when I died. Some instructions would have helped but sometimes you can't get to things like that in 48 hours. Me being critical: Encountered several bugs where I was stuck and couldn't move. I wish that there were some sound affects to make it more alive.

HTML 5 version not working :(

@techsec Oh, I do not know, it seems that other people could play (And it works for me. I checked it on Opera and YandexBrowser right now). Maybe try again?

The HTML5 version works for me (Chrome). It’s quite a fun game, although with some bugs, I got stuck in the terrain and fell outside the world a few times :D.

Interesting take on the theme, I haven't seen anyone use the idea of trading years of your life! I liked the artwork. Like others said there were some bugs (I was able to walk straight off the level). It would be great if there was a health indicator for the player and enemies!

This is super interesting! Although- I don't know if I like the idea of trading away my life. O_O

I'm not quite sure what happened but I was able to draw this star shape:

@winniehell lol, it's very strange and amazing!

Good job putting something out for the jam. I really liked the idea. The visuals were also very cute.
