Super juicy! The game is fun and fast paced. Reminds me a lot of hotline miami. I really enjoyed the overall experience the game gave me, and I feel like this game will rank well. Well done!

VERY COOL game felling, while i was playing i feeled like i am playing nuclear throne like game and this was really fun what negative i can only say about this game is controlls are a little bit weird and graphics are pretty bad but overall congratulation of great game

Great job! The game handles very well and is enjoyable. I also liked the little transition between the floors.

ivysly 2021-10-04 13:00

thank yuo all!!! :D

This game feels absolutely AWESOME to play, it's just so juicy. Probably my favourite game so far.

elastic 2021-10-04 13:16

Definitely my favorite game that I have played this jam! A lot of polish, and the game uses the theme very well to create a chaotic feeling! Great work!

ivysly 2021-10-04 13:20

@slimmerburger @elastic thanks so much! that means a lot, this is my first time entering LD :)

This is easily one of the best games I've played in this game jam so far. The gameplay feels fun, it's addictive, the sound design and art beautifully compliment the gameplay. The only complaint that I have is that the angle of the map is on a diagonal but I assume it's intentional so I'll let it slide. Very polished, if this doesn't place like top 10 I will be so disappointed.

I really love fast paced games, the art beautifully complemented the game. I have even bookmarked the page for playing again. Good game.

Great shoot them all game ! It remember me nuclear throne.

The background music is very nice, and fit well with the dynamic mood of the game. Also fx are very nice. I would like more items with differents effects and levels less repetitive.

Overall, very good game (specialy for a compo :clap:)

I'm almost dead, some big red bad guy moves towards me, and all i have is a confetti cannon and a grapling hook that pulls me towards that bad guy. Bad luck, i love it! Very cool game concept! One of my favourites so far.

parttimeindie 2021-10-04 18:31

very cool game had alot of fun

zeppelingames 2021-10-05 02:38

This game is great. Heaps of fun. Could play this for a while. Love the music, love the art. Really well done

foursay 2021-10-05 02:51

This game is super fun to play with! It reminds me of the game Hotline Miami but with a more unstable control one. I found the movement and fire are unstable and had to apply different strategies on killing enemies. That actually teaches me a lot about designing new mechanics. Great Job!

justcallmebb 2021-10-05 05:07

Super fun, super funny, plays great! I love the weapon variety and gamefeel, I could play this for hours! My only issue is there seems to be some problems with the level generation... I loaded into a level at one point and the stairs were in a room I couldn't access :( But overall super impressive game for the compo!

Also, my favorite weapon was the banana :)

ivysly 2021-10-05 05:12

@justcallmebb i was worried that would happen! if it does again, try the "unstick" button in the pause menu. didn't get the chance to iron out all the level gen kinks :P

glenugie 2021-10-05 13:52

Favourite game I've played so far, love me some top down combat with a varied pool of weapons, and the added chaos of not knowing what bullet you're getting next was great. Gameplay feels super slick and juicy too!

gus-goucher 2021-10-05 15:49

This game is really amazing! I love the palette shift for each level, it really helps add some variation without detracting from the JUICY gameplay! Best game for me so far.

ivysly 2021-10-05 16:20

@gus-goucher @glenugie thank you all so much!! I dunno what to even say :D there are so many good games this jam I am honored to be your favorite (so far)

jayjack 2021-10-05 20:03

This is a hilarious and super juicy top-down shooter with really cute quirky music. I love how fast everyone runs it really adds humor to the game 🤣 I was having a tough time today with all the homework I have to do and this game really put a smile on my face. Thank you @ivysly and great job!

pkzinpo 2021-10-05 21:13

Really fun to play! The game itself feels quite polished and well made. I liked how there was a large variety of different guns that you could pickup, there was so much hilarity. It is quite funny how I would spam click sometimes and I would burn an enemy then pull myself right to them with the grappling hook which would end up burning me in the process. Great job!

ivysly 2021-10-05 21:31

Thank you so much!! @pkzinpo @jayjack

acarc 2021-10-05 21:53

What a great selection of weapons! Really great art style with very satisfying weapon play!

reiqy 2021-10-05 21:56

This is a really funny game. I like the concept. My favourite gun was prolly the "bee gun", also the grappling hook. I feel like most of the guns make it not easier but more difficult for the player. That's quite unique. The art style is not really my cup of tea, but I believe it fits the game nicely.

nazorus 2021-10-05 22:03

This is definitely the best game I've played so far! It feels so smooth and satisfying, there's a good variety of weapons, animations and sound effects feel so great. The banana peel is absolutely hilarious lol

The weapon constantly switching is a nice take on the theme (it's also a mechanic present in one of my own games funnily enough!), and you managed to create an impressively competent top down shooter in 48h, everything is here: satisfying shooting, smooth aiming and camera, pathfinding, particles, audio. I'm a big fan of Nuclear Throne and that game really is the game jam equivalent :smile:

rufson 2021-10-05 22:40

Very good compo, Grats! I like your hand drawn style in solid pastel color without shading! Map randomization adds a lot, even after repeating the same floor several times, I felt drawn into the slaughter. The variety of enemies and weapons makes it a lot of fun in the long run. There is nothing to complain about, maybe the situation in the building is more unstable than the weapon itself because we know what will shoot after the icon and you can apply strategies to this knowledge. Respect for this compo and your Rocket Sword looks great, good luck on release day!

future-labs-unlimited 2021-10-05 23:14

Really fun and addictive gameplay! The core idea of constantly switching weapons works very well. Love those situations where you're stuck in a corner with two big red guys chasing you and two of your weapons are a banana peel and a confetti cannon. And of course, half of the time I was running away from my own traitorous bees. :D Have nothing negative to say about it, had just a lot of fun with the game! :)

javicoder 2021-10-06 10:02

I like it a lot, it looks super fast and fun to play. But I have a problem that practically makes it unplayable: I can shoot and move well, but every time the flamethrower comes out, it lags like 2 seconds and the audio cuts out, is it a feature? :smile: otherwise great game!

ivysly 2021-10-06 18:03

@javicoder it should definitely not do that!!

pvp 2021-10-06 20:16

I love the art style :D. Really cool game and got a good laugh with some weapon. Nothing bad to say about this entry. Great game.

barrier 2021-10-06 21:37

One of the best! I love all the random weapons. Bees!? I did somehow light myself on fire and die, but man this game is great! :)

ddrkirbyisq 2021-10-06 23:04

Great job! The game is fast-paced and feels fun and fresh. Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Besides the rare level-generation bugs, I think my main piece of feedback is that having the next shot indicator on the top-right corner of the screen is a bit awkward since that's really far away from where all the action is. Feels like it might have been better to just place that indicator above the player or something; it would maybe let you keep your attention focused on where the action is (?)

tiberiusuciu 2021-10-07 02:45

Nicely done!

I gotta say, for a compo, this is a very well done, I've played a bunch of Jam games, and they don't come close to be as polished as this!

The art is pixelated, but very well done. The audio is well fitting for this kind of game. And the progression of introducing more bullet types and enemies is spot on!

My only advice to you is to add a way to control the audio (increase/decrease/mute), since everything was at max volume at first.

Other than that, great work! Looking forward to see your next game in the LDs! :thumbsup:

kaiomoi 2021-10-07 17:02

Really cool :D The mood and game feel is very good! the sound ambiance is very good.

The feedback of the loss of life points is a little lacking in readability, but it's a jam after all. Congratulations

yerkwell 2021-10-10 13:27

Hahaha, great game!

I loved the idea of weird guns very much. At some points it turns into a complete mess :D

polkoii 2021-10-11 08:39

THIS IS SO FUN GOOD JOB

The game loop is very well made. Gives me a lot of ape out vibes but still stands out on its own! I love this game. Each bullet has its drawbacks and benefits and the sound design is phenomenal! This is extremely well done and for a compo even better! The art is great and responsive with the sound and everything feels as it should be!

Maybe what would make this better is that if you end up getting a bullet you already have, it upgrades that bullet to a new level!

Great work! And great job on Rocket Sword as well! Wishlisted!

paulhocker 2021-10-12 02:29

bloody awesome game there. i love the use of the theme and it music had a great beat to it. very glad you made this.

sosi 2021-10-12 14:57

So fun! Good job!

makimopl 2021-10-13 17:36

Nice little game you have there! Great controls, great shooting feel and effects. Would love to see even more bullet and enemy types for even more chaotic fun. Couch co-op could be a nice touch as well :couch:

Also, happy to see more Godot on LD :smile:

baconinvader 2021-10-13 19:46

Nice fast paced game, liked the weapon variety especially, felt very satisfying. Great job!

ribout-horace 2021-10-13 21:26

Fun and easily learned ! Good little game ! Could be a flash game where schooler could spend too much time on it

echo-gameworks 2021-10-17 18:57

Really enjoyable movement and mechanics. On the next iteration, perhaps make it so there are different enemies that are stronger, weaker or immune to different ammo types. Great work!
