A really cool game! I like the feeling of dropping down the well.
I feel that it's very hard to "flow" in the game, meaning that I always ended up hitting something, which was a little frustrating. Also at times the amount of things coming at me are overwhelming which makes making snappier decisions pretty hard.
Other than that, I found the concept of the game very interesting and well executed. I especially liked the cartoon aesthetic of the game.
Welp, turns out I'm really bad at this. The difficulty ramp seemed a bit much at level 3. Controls were fast but tight. I like your art style. The 2D gun/hand was fun. Nice job. Good art direction, too.
edit - the world needs more enemies of type 'octopus with gun'
Nice, very challenging! I took me some time to understand the spike from above!
I made a falling game too, but with a twist so that you can perceive depth! If we could combine our games it would be so crazy!
Dropping down the well was great, and the game feels fun. A bit too hard, though.
I love the Wolfenstein style graphics, but it makes decision making hard and frustrating. Overall, I like this game alot.
Everything is really well made, physics, graphics, splash sound! I'll keep it by myself to play again later on!! Really great entry!
Hey, very good idea with falling and shooting :) For me, game is quite chellenging, but maybe im bad player.
i really liked this game's art and sound. also the timer was a nice touch, after my first play i immediately had to try again to beat your time. i ended up with 49 seconds :)
The art style is so cool, and the gameplay while a little trippy at first is really awesome. The last level was especially challenging but I got there in the end. Great job!
Hell yeah dude! This was so much fun. I only wish there were more levels!!
I felt like the mechanics were super easy and intuitive to pick up. You did a great job adding a quick intro and the recap at the end showing the stats was great touch for the Speedrunner part of me.
My stats from best playthrough: Time: 161S Deaths: 8 Shots fired: 130
Screenshot_5.jpg ayy made me rage a lot xD , really cool game though idk if hugging the walls was a feature but it was a good way to slow things down or you could shoot once , really innovating game and fitted the theme , gj!
199S, 12 deaths, 63 shots. I really like the interactions between speed, reloading, and shooting. Took me like 6 tries on the final level to realize I could shoot to give myself more time, that was a great "Aha!" moment
Cute game! 5/5 for Mood
That was great ! Finished in 1006 seconds Could have used a bit more used with a louder gun SFX, but super great nonetheless !
Amazing amount of work you got done in such a short amount of time. I love the falling and sliding mechanic. The fall speed was a bit too fast for me... I could also just suck at this game though lol.
I really enjoyed this! I get that maybe it was a little hard in some respects but that made it even more rewarding for me when I pulled off a particularly good drop down through a level. I actually found the game quite rhythmic and intuitive after I got the hang of it. If I were to give one suggestion it might be experimenting with some transparent platforms. Maybe that would ruin the game by making the pace too slow but I sometimes couldn't tell which way to walk off and died instantly when stepping off a platform. Overall, this is one of my favorites so far, thanks!
I really liked the style of the graphics and how the levels develop! It is fun
I really like the gameplay
Really cool idea and good execution. Sometimes it just feels crazy fast. I feel like it could still be challenging with a bit more telegraphing. The trippy arstyle is awesome too!
Really fun game! So intense that i died infinite times damn, the graphics and quality is overall fantastic! I think is the first time i play a shooter like this, possibly one of the hardest games of the jam, yet one of the coolest!
Great work! :smile:
Congrats with the first LD. The overall presentations is amazing. Hitboxes sometimes feel a bit off but other than than it is a very solid entry. My time was around 300s.
Great game! I played to the end in 32 deaths.
Almost everything is done right here. I found the lo-fi mashup art style charming and unique, and it had a lot of nice little touches like the text-tilt on reload (more basement punk DYI than a gun animation!) and the motion lines when falling. The sound effects you chose effectively communicated gameplay information I needed, such as "am I wall sliding."
I thought the core gameplay was very well done. It takes a few ideas from downwell and riffs them into a cool new experience. I liked that you made the game more about movement than about the shooting, and didn't go overboard with the enemies blasting at me, or force me to shoot a ton. I think that was the right direction here, since the movement was the cool stuff.
I'm a big fan of games with unusual core movement and good gamefeel, and you did it here. If I could tweak one thing about the controls, it would be that while on the ground (but probably not while in the air) I could have used some acceleration from zero to full speed. When I stopped on a platform and wanted to peek over the edge, it felt really jerky to get instant full speed, and I went flying over the edge a few times. No big deal, though!
The difficulty and length of the game were just about right for me.
All around very nice solo jam entry, look forward to seeing what you do next time.
Neat for a first ludum dare entry. Finished the game and thanks for that child-cheering yey sound effect.

So this was fun lol. I liked the mechanics in play here. I thought it would be like downwell where you'd more or less just be moving down and maybe just stomping the occasional enemy, but this was more puzzle-like and that's always a good thing. Loved the design of each level and how you had to combine shooting to aim yourself, landing on an enemy and sliding along the walls. Made things very strategic and very satisfying. The art was nice and goofy as well lol. No qualms there. All the game needs is some quality of life improvements here and there and it would be even better. Maybe just lower the speed at which most of the red traps move (the spinners were real killers, along with those red platforms which had a small hole lol) so that it's a little more easier to aim yourself. Also maybe make the player's hitbox smaller so that it's a little easier to pass through holes or tight spaces cus it's honestly a little frustrating when you think you should be able to fit in a gap but you don't. None the less, the game was designed well and was fun. Heck, I saw your LD page, is this your first LD ? Serious kudos to you on this entry if it's your first but good job either way
