Cute little game, I like it. Gets pretty hard, pretty fast though

I find that the theme is fully respected and that it is fun to play. GG to you.

The fight is very polished!

If you stand under the eye and just span up you can kill him before you die. every time. Not bad tho.

I love the character design. He really looked cute.

The game itself was not really fun. Went to 5 or 6 cycles but it just ends up spamming x and up as fast as you can xD

Overal a good job! Thank you for the game

Pretty fun, charming graphics. The game is very easy if you just stand under the eye and shoot fast, you always win.

I like it, maybe a bit more of balancing in the fight but overall nice entry.

Nice job! However it is very easy! All I ended up doing was spamming X the entire time haha!

Nice work!

Great concept and fun to play, just maybe reduce the health a bit, as you can kill them before they kill you if you stand underneath and spam. Overall amazing work!

I found the control layout a bit offputting. Started to avoid features and just spam. Other than that I got through it all.

It's an ok game. The graphics are really not that good but they serve its purpose, nothing was hard to identify. Also I was hoping there would be an ending, but instead when you beat the final boss you just get reset. I get that's the point, but it's kind of disappointing. The mechanics are cool but very unbalanced, for all bosses you can just hold C and mash X while shooting up and not moving, and you'll win. I think enemies could do some different things to the player instead of just subtracting from HP, for example knocking you back, or making you slower. That would make it harder to cheese the boss by standing still.

I found the game pretty fun for some strange reasons, I like the way you implemented the theme but as others have mentioned, it's pretty easy to cheese the boss, I didn't even know there was a dash feature since I just stood underneath the eye and spammed my shoot button. But congratulations on finishing non the less :D!

Nice concept and graphics, makes a lot fun.

Your game was alright. I really liked all the music, I actually stopped to listen to it all after playing. This game has potential, too. It could use some balancing, as others have said, but I think, with some effort after the jam, this could be a fun boss rush game.

Neat little game, congrats on finishing it! Is there a way to beat the game or get out of the loop? I gave up after the 500 HP boss, where no more new battle elements seemed to have been introduced.

jk5000 2020-10-12 13:48

The idea is simple and the game is pretty fun to play. The gameplay could have worked better, but it's not to difficult to find a way to defeat the monster. Overall a fine little jam game.

letterafterz 2020-10-12 14:11

Nice one. I found spamming the attack kinda dominates everything a bit too well, but I thought you did a great job overall. Great submission.

samuli 2020-10-12 16:13

Is there way to break out of the loop? I looped back to 100hp monster.

peace-of-cake-games 2020-10-16 22:04

Fun game! I beat every level monster and probably set a speed record. The trick: stand under an eye, hold Up Arrow, and GO CRAZY WITH THE X BUTTON!!!!!! You'll kill the boss before it kills you.
