Cycle Through

Graphics are good, nice bouncy animation, good audio, reasonably fun and quite playable, should have opted out of humour and mood imo. The sticking point here for me is that the theme feels shoehorned in. This game would work just was well (maybe even better) if the abilities were not on a rotating loop. I can't grade you down too hard because you did technically fulfill theme reqs, but it felt to me as though you had your gameidea preset/premade and just added a small thing to fit with the theme.

I like the wobbliness of the character when jumping and the sound effects when shooting/punching enemies! The abilities felt a little weird, I basically always ended up just sitting where I was with the bubble and the melee attack is inferior to the ranged attack in every way (also it seemed like it got stuck from time to time? :P)

Went up to level 11 to see if something changes over the course of different waves and it was satisfying to kill the enemies with the nice particle effects, but it got a little repetitive after a while as no real threat seemed to come from those guys :P Still a solid entry for the short amount of time! I'm not really sure about your joke about this being your GMTK submission :D

@tuatarian yeah being completely honest I realized by the end how it seems like that, but thank you for the kind words, I think my game is kinda fun too!

@freeworld thanks! I should definitely add more of an incentive for people to level up, that would be smart. Something I wish I explained was enemy AI and how you can lure enemies to the edge from the bubble, and other little things I as the developer know but realize randoms don't. Stay chill man!

With a little chip tune music loop it would have been great !!! Jumping need a little polish and, in my opinion, the abilities should switch faster, for more dynamism ! Anyway, it's a pretty good game !
