It would be nice to know what the dash button is so that everyone is on equal footing. I like this still; it's pretty nice. Nicely done!

Hi @lucas-guimaraes ! Thanks for your feedback!

You're right, as I can't edit the description now, I'll leave it in this comment: **Dash button: SPACE**

The game idea is really good, but I am really bad at playing it. The visuals and the music is good. Overall a good little jam game. Well done.

Very hard to play

Reminds me of superhot, but i like how you can throw tables and dash. I would be interested to see what other gameplay mechanics you come up with if you worked on this further

Okay, so first of all, really great game to make, with bullet time being the default. Clear superhot inspiration I assume? I like the graphics a lot, they're very minimalist, especially with the enemies just being the player character with inverted color. Very fun. There's also a surprising amount of gameplay. Overall really fun.

As for areas of improvement, I wonder if just adding more polish would make a big difference? I think if the gameplay difficulty was better tuned, as well as more carefully defined collisions and a more reactive user interface, such as more indication for when you're dashing would probably make a huge difference. This is, of course, only if you intend on updating the game more. I really liked it though. Fun stuff.

Really awesome idea! I like how I can just queue up a TON of shots and take guys out instantly. It's very satisfying! Good job!

Really good superhot like shooting game. A small tip for the next jams: try to make a "level restarter" for players. Restarting everytime from first level was a bit frustrating.

But i really like the key mechanic (throw the table reminds me of Enter the Gungeon haha).

Good game, realy. I like super hot and is interesting idea change camera for this concept. But I have a one question - why after dead I have to start from the beginning? it's very cruel

@circle Thank you very much for your feedback! Indeed, it's the first game I ever made and I'm not totally good at level designing, but it's an aspect that I tried to work as much as possible, but know I failed. As for the dash indication, very nice suggestion, thanks! I plan on updating the game after the jam is over!

@ossi Thank you very much! I hope you enjoyed it :)

@neowhoru I'm now aware after playing it a bit myself that the restart from level 1 is very frustrating and plan on implementing a continue, thanks for your suggestion! Also, you spotted my two inspirations! SuperHot + Enter The Gungeon, glad you did! :)

@kremlebot Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for the restart it wasn't such a problem when I implemented it and there was only 3 levels, then at the end of the jam I added 6 more levels and could see the frustration it causes to restart from level 1. Very sorry about that, I will implement a continue in a new iteration of the game later.

Nice use of bullet time. That first shot comes fast if you're not ready for it. I was able to make it to the second level but couldn't get any further.

This game is

SUPER

I wish you wouldn't have to start all over all the time, especially because you keep the movment from the previous level. But still a cool entry!

This is a really cool game, and I like how the speed of the game is based on the player's movement. However, it's quite hard to play as it's really hard to avoid the enemies' bullets, and every time you die you have to start from the beginning. I did check out your post-jam version, and it's good that you implemented the ability to continue. The graphics and audio on the game are nice. Good job!

Nice game. Really well polished. The art style and bullet-time looks great and the music fit with the game very well. My only suggestion would be to, when the player dies, restart the level, not the whole game. Great job with the game!

Nice superhot inspired game. Initially can be a bit frustrating but is a mater of retrying and making sure you hit dash at the proper time. The bullet time and AI are well done and I had fun on seeking cover. You have some nice basis here for a 2d SuperHot kind of game. My recommendation is to add an easier tutorial level that introduces the mechanics.
