The mechanics are cool, but a pity we do not know what we pick up and suddenly it erases a desire object

There should be icons on the screen whenever you pick up an item. Maybe it's a resolution problem or the icons are not "iconish" enough, as they are screenshots of the 3D part model. Sorry about that :(
Icons issues and Graphics should be improve!!
Interesting mechanic. Would be awesome with twin stick contoller support. Graphics are ok for a solo project. The weaopn building is not instantly intuitive, I would love a short section where you can try out all the types in the beginning, but you probably did not have time for that.
First time I played, I apparently died just after collecting the first couple of items. I didn't realize I was dead, and couldn't move, and there was no "Try Again" option, so I had to close the game and reopen it to try again. The second round, I was able to move around and dodge enemies before dying, but couldn't figure out how to use the stuff I collected. I needed to go back and read a little to realize how to do this. Third attempt, I picked up stuff, used it, and started using a weapon (flame thrower). I killed a few enemies and died. Each time I died, I had to close the game and start it again. The graphics were kept simple, the movement felt like a little slow, and I didn't quite understand the head movement until I was ready to quit playing. I didn't hear any sound fx or music. Overall, for a 3 day game jam, not bad.
So that is a pretty good idea for a game. I like the way player can combine different effects to get weapon of his dreams.
On the side note, knife enemies gave few laughs. Cool game!
I personally love the game mechanic of combining different parts to create something entirely new. However, the actual gameplay could use a lot of work in terms of visual and audible feedback. With some more time put into this game, it could turn out to be a really fun shooter-up. Keep grinding my man.
I had fun playing this! I wish the pick-ups were more different looking from each other so you knew what type of item you were getting a bit clearer. I think you have a cool mechanic here!
Cool mechanics idea. I would have loved seeing what you could have done if you had more time!
