Super cool graphics and mood, the movement/camera control made it difficult to play though
Man you must really hate Jack! I loved the graphics and ambience, it's also fun to play. The AI can knock you out from a distance however, I think it should be closer to be able to hit you. Also kudos for including a tutorial that actually leads to the game!
this game is pretty cool, I like the mix of 2d characters and 3d movement and camera, kinda reminds me of old-school doom in a way, sound is pretty good too, think this would be even better with just a little more polish but this is still a solid entry to the jam
cool game, good movement, AI is too good
Graphics and design are awesome! But as you said the player has currently no defense and is knocked out with one punch which makes it almost impossible to beat the game. Still fun to beat them though :grin:

Thank you very much for your kind words! I made a complete system with this game, im planning on making a full game on this cause it is much more than a simple game, even if it doesn't look like it :laughing:
I would really do like a Ben & Ed story but with violence. Dreams.. Haha :heart:
why so much hate to kack lul, overall the game is funny, i liked the graph style, and fighting, but i cant get the stuck in a loop idea - killing jack or what?), rated 5/5
Interesting artistic direction, very original :)
Good graphics, the camera shift makes it a bit confusing tho, specially when you are next to a wall. Wasn't able to play much because of my motion sickness, but it looked fun! :)
amazing aesthetics! The style works really well.
Thank you guys! @cookie-chr Sad.. :(, i really must work better the swing of the camera, my bad bro.
@vsi The idea of Jackaster is playing through the best Snuff film of pure violence, looping through to kill Jack many times for the perfect clip. It is a bit spoiler, but is a good point for the loop thing.
Really unique art style! I did not expect the feelign I got from it.
Cool style, I couldn't go fullscreen on itch.io, which I think this game would benefit from because of the pace of the action.
I like the use of sprites in the world as 3D entities.
Cool entry!
this game is stylized to all hell. Extremely distinct. nice. Even though the ai doesn't work, this is seriously impressive for one developer.
great art and the mix of 2d and 3d is charming.
Nice graphics man, reminds me flash games from 2000s, brawls in the bar are fun and music is good thanks. My friend said it reminds him MaxPayne)
Very cool art style and gameplay.
i really liked the music, very fitting. It made me want to punch all living and non-living things lol. Also I liked the animations and the art style a lot. SFX were also good and the gemplay felt interestig, a bit weid that the main chracter covers the middle of the screen where you have to aim, but it was fun to play still! Good work :)
really liked the art style! kudos!
Very good mood, love the music and clever gameplay
Very nice artstyle! The music was just awesome. But the gameplay was a bit boring for my taste. You could just run through everyone and kill jack. But overall nice work !
Thanks everybody for the clear feedback! I might need to fix Jack.. As you can just run through and kill him no matter what, i want to solve this problems but i am afraid of changing too much the build because of the ld rules. Fixing Jack would make the game actually more playable, he is supposed to shoot us and we must throw him stuff. I'll end up probably doing it for making it a better game, greetings everybody! :blush:
Super cool graphics, very original! Loved that you can throw pretty much anything at your enemies from bar chairs to couches, pretty fun aha! Only thing is sometimes I got knockout but did not even seen I was getting hit, that was a bit strange. Apart from that very cool to play, and nice music too, very well done!
Tike the graphics, quite hard to understand when you hit the other and when they hit you. I kill jack always without doing other tasks and I finish.. Also I was expecting enemies will follow me.. but they were there waiting.
the only thing to add is missing the full screem button, congratulations on the idea
the third person perspective with sprite based character was really cool and unique
Really interesting art style with the 2D assets for a character in 3D space. Good job :)
This was a fun short game. Loved the sound effect and feedback onhit. Keep up the good work! Music was very fitting for this game
Perhaps it was not planned - I jumped over people to get to the boss without any problems. The tutorial painted on the wall looks cool!
I really liked the graphics and was excited to play. The lack of volume control, the character ice skating for no reason and the throwing mechanics are really throwing me off.
I really liked the art style. Game is very funny and music is so cool. Short but well polished game!
Hello everyone! @evgeniya-zapolnova @misterm @snotax @kraig
Added volume sliders just for you! "And more of course"
I fixed Jackaster AI! It might be hard now, is beatable but complicated, you gotta beat every Punk on the zone so you have free way to kill Jack, he will shoot us and we must throw him objects and punch him, AI now signs with movements before attacking, Jack laughts when he is about to shoot us, if we escape the fight and go far away Punks get mad and chase us! "This is what the game is supposed to behave"
Let me know guys how much you can deal with it by showing your progress :laughing:
Thank you very much for real.. Love you all :heart:
The presentation was really good, really liked the art and animations, music was good, sfx were good. The gameplay was a little janky though, it felt like, and the difficulty was definitely way high (or maybe I'm just bad). One thing in the tutorial level, I kept getting stuck into a state where I couldn't move when trying to jump on the trashcans... I had to reset several times until I jumped in just the right way to get past them.
cool game, but why is it so haaard? :D
- good soundtrack and sound effects - very nice art style - smooth gameplay - engaging
The AI is just way too difficult... I feel like sometimes it's hard to pick things up, also the camera kept glitching when I stood next to a wall.
It was pretty fun, it's these small bugs and the difficulty that just subtract from the overall experience.
I did really like the art and the fact that he looks right when you turn right :)
Tough game! I think it'd be a lot more manageable if thrown objects went in the direction you wanted more reliably. Throwing stuff does seem pretty OP...
Brilliant. Love the mix of 2 and 3D.
Really enjoyed the graphics and the mood of the game! The controls felt a tad clunky at times (specifically picking up/throwing things and the AI was a bit too hard for me even after a handful of goes
*Minutemen intensifies*
The graphics are so cool! Really wish I could see past the first room!
Great game, but it is very difficult.
Looks and feels great, way too hard for me though and the character blocks the view a bit.
This game has a very unique look to it. Really difficult though, and the player head sometime gets right in front of the camera, occluding everything.
Loved it. But you should definitely tinker with those colliders 'cause it really made it hard to play. Like getting stuck in a trash bin or I couldn't quickly grab those chairs to throw. It made playing way harder. I loved your graphical style and the music really fit. Some fixes required but really good entery
