What a nifty little game! First of all, I recommend people to download the game instead of using the web version. Scroll wheel is not really well supported on the web version.

About the game - I liked it! The art style is cute and the mechanic is well thought out. It takes a while to get used to controls but once they click the game is smooth. I'm sure you could do much more with this mechanic but for a jam time frame this is just fine.

As said before the scroll wheel bug in webgl is a bother. But the amount of polish, ma god!

Oh this is great. I love this idea, needing to manage weapons and corpses while in the heat of battle. Really makes for a hectic mix. I think having a restricted landing area for corpses is interesting too, adds some strategy in where to kill enemies so you can use their corpses (I do think it might be a tad small though, since the knockback tends to shoot them away) couple nitpicky things, I think q and e being holdable instead of requiring tapping would make it a lot nicer to control (i also think they should be flipped), maybe picking up a gun could be automatic if you hover over it with an empty hand, since guns will automatically start firing when you click to pick them up. The music is awesome, I also really like the sound effects (especially during the end screen text). the art is lovely, very stylish. great job!

Love the wiggle mechanic and satisfying weapon audio/visuals. Very slick game, well done.

Sick game! I loved the juice you were able to see from the first second starting it. I don't see any flaws here.

This such a cool game. It feels super complete and I love the artstyle. The tutorial feels really neat, but you can skip it by accidentally hitting the right mouse button. Also, playing in browser and using the mousewheel to turn the gun is not the best combo (you start scrolling). But those are minor flaws for an almost perfect game. Really well done!

That was fun, and I agree with others that the polish was high! I wonder if you enabled the fullscreen button on itch if that would fix the scrolling issue.

It is fun but the lack of range indicator and difficulty to angle properly, makes this game not as fun as it should.

akitl 2022-04-08 09:57

the idea was good and fun but, i cant shoot in anny direction ?

Hey sir milk, thanks for joining stream and submitting your game! I disagree with others above, the aiming was a very fun fresh take that made for some interesting moments and fun mastery. Managed to survive three and a half minutes in what was possibly the most hectic moments of my life. If you'd like to rewatch, you can see the vod here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449607637

loved the arm physics it was so much fun to make him dance! and also im really fond of the mechanics. i am sure a good piece will come out of it once it is fully explored! very well done thanks for sharing it.

Awesome game, I could only play on the web build tho (I'm on a mac) so scrolling was a little annoying. Regardless, this game was great!

Ayo, this is a damn cool game. The art is fantastic and the wiggliness and squishiness of the player's arm is too cool lol. I like how you made use of the grab mechanics as well, in that you have to grab enemies and put them into the machine when they're dead so that you get more guns. And you have to be a little careful while shooting so that they're corpses are still on the platform. Love the little indicator as well for when they're too close to the machine. Also cool how one of the weapons actually turns around when you fire it, so you have to turn it yourself. There's honestly just a lot to like about this game, the art is great as well and is nice and chunky. I'm definitely coming back to this to play it more
