Sometimes my only option was to run into an enemy because I didnt have enough power. Also it'd be nice if there was indication when I could shoot, there's an invisible timer between shots. Other than that it's a pretty fun little loop! Love the funky music and use of sound effects. There's also a cool slow down effect being used. Good stuff!

This is a really cool idea! On thing that would make this better is that if you could see farther ahead of you when you are running so that the monsters don't sneak up on you. Also, do monsters that you don't shoot stick around for the next loop? If they do, maybe you should represent that visually and maybe the monsters start to accumulate over time if you don't shoot enough of them on former loops. The art, gameplay, and music were all great!

@chris-mulholland i added a small update to fix stuff u guys mentioned , @cnewt actualy they respawn more after every cycle and most of them hit the ground and kaboom.

Made it nine rounds in one go, when I clicked restart I wasn't able to use the gun at all in the following round. That being said I certainly enjoyed it enough for a full playthrough. Plus, props for the nicely designed character.

@conneli im gonna check why!! thanks for feedback
interesting game, would wish there where more space to see the enemies in.
Maybe a little too difficult, but fun nonetheless. The main mechanic is neat, the controls work well, but most of all the art style made me think of World of Goo, Which is absolutely a good thing
It looks like the gun is pointing slightly above the mouse and that makes it hard to aim, but definitely a fun game.
Its really fun! sometimes i missed because the arm wasnt aiming where i was poiting and there is little to do when you get ganged from both sides :D but everything can be used to and overcomed! Nice!!

@life-lich u are right, actuly it was more space but after testing i changed it to make it harder (its a realy short game so why not XD) but one thing i learned from this jam is DONT listen to that monster inside u who tell "make it dificult...hooo.."
@unhandyred about the artstyle , it was my first try in making a character and animating it in blender and grease pencil , and maybe the most fun part
@mumaitron @boberkraft yeah that's a lazy implementation ,sorry for that . consider it as a feature
thanks all for feedback , i didnt know jam is friendly and fun like this
Pretty difficult game but fun nonetheless. It would be cool if there was some different difficulty modes that maybe allowed you to gain power retreating, had a quicker cool down on the gun, and give you more shots for a full power bar. The music slaps hard and the art works well. The slowmo features makes the game feel super juicy when you get a good kill shot!
I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

Well its simple and fun. I see its your first game good job, i liked it! Could have much improvements but still its something.
"hmf. 10 cycles ? will be enough !" -after 3 cycles- "Ok, this is hard."
It was pretty hard, but I managed to finish it. If the game had more variety I'd play it for hours! A great interpretation on the theme.
Ok, by luck i managed to get to 7 laps while just running without shooting anything but couldn't make it past that after. Would really be nice some kind of evolution? Like maybe being able to upgrade your weapon like fire faster or fire 2 shots at once or more efficient power wise. Nice, simple game that got the theme right and managed to do it quite simple. Not the biggest fan of the artstyle but i guess it get s the job done. Good luck further down your carrer as a side jam game dev, you might become one if you really like it cus it seems like you are able to do it. Anyway, cheers and hope to see games like this on mobile with lots of different hats and colors. I believe you can do it. Cheers mate!

Pretty good idea, well polished too! Maybe add more kinds of enemies that you'd have to jump over

Very nicely done! enjoyed the really fast running animation. Feels like there's so much more that can be done with this concept, which makes it an excellent GameJam game! Really loved it!
Owww man! what a cool art style!!! Well done. I loved the simple concept and overall mood.
