The art is nice, the levels are fair (It took me a few tries on the later ones, but I finished the game in reasonable time). Not super mechanically innovative, but still fun to play. Music is a bit repetitive but not too bad. The dialog is funny. Pretty solid over all.

Well executed. It's got that "flow-state" feel of a super meat boy. The restart has a bug for me that sometimes restarts twice, which disrupts that flow, but otherwise plays well.
Excellent, really nice, the powerups didn't feel very useful, and the game in general was really just a "get to the end maze game" but I think it's fun.
Cool game! I liked the funny dialogue. I think the explosion radius on the landmines felt a little too big, but that's ok. I still had fun. I wished there was more of an excuse to use my powerups, as my loss aversion kept kicking in. Maybe put them on a timer instead of being consumed? I don't know. Anyway, congratulations on finishing the jam, and congratulations on making a fun game!

Nice catchy look (love the color palet) and a great flow. It's easily understable what the game is up to but can get surprised. Reminds me of "Tanks" from Wii Play. Well done !
This game is really hard, particularly the diagonal bullets.
Very nice idea and concept.
Hard but nice game :) good job on the art i like the consistensie

This was so much fun ^_^ Great job with this, it has that "just one more time..." feel :D
What a great game! nice humor, minimalistic visuals and immersive gameplay, what else could one need?
This was incredibly fun! Took me a while to understand the power ups, but they were quite an interesting idea.
Had a couple of bugs (resetting happened twice with the second time with some delay ?), but it didn't distract me from the overall experience. Incredibly enjoyable game.
I really enjoyed this game. The level design felt really good. I loved the mechanics and how you introduced the machine gun on level 5. I think I would prefer if powerups had their own specific key rather than being bound to whatever slot they were picked up in. The land mines felt like their hitbox was just a little too big compared to the visual. Overall art and theme were great. Good job!

Oh this one rocks. Reminds me of that Gallipoli movie
Graphics and gameplay are great. It was challenging and fun to play!
Visually pleasing with engaging gameplay (and good humour)!

Looks very neat. I liked the sounds/music. Artwork is really great, I love pixel art. Level design was really clever. Controls were intuitive.

Really like this! I love the variety of items and the shrinking one caught me off guard. Love the sense of humor, the only thing I'd say is to do a pixel perfect collision check instead of a square collision check as sometimes I didn't know what the boundaries of collision were. I'd also modify the graphic of the mine to be more clear where the collision.
Great job ☕

I like how many powerups you were able to implement and using guns in the ost was a nice touch. the collisions did feel a bit unfair at times, especially in that last level. still fun and funny!
Got some old school Metal Gear vibes from this game. I enjoyed it a lot. Good job overall.

Hello Euler, Thanks for submitting your game to my stream. I loveed the graphics super cute and great color palette. I also liked the animated mustache when the general was talking. This was super fun and very rewarding to play. It was hard but I saw my mistakes and could improve from them making this a super enjoyable game.
Two things you could do better possibly is the text from the general got missed a bit UI/UX wise and it wasn't clear to me right away the abilities I had so maybe adding clarity there some how. I also would have loved to hear varying noises when picking up the items.
Amazing game overall. Keep up the great work :D
Solid classic game! I really liked the variety of items that you implemented.
Absolutely BANGER of a game! (se- see what I did there?) The graphics of it were absolutely top-notch and the sound design was phenomenal!

Awesome job! This is so polished!
I had a lot of fun with this one, made it through to the end in 9 deaths!
Only criticism I have is the items were tough to make use of with such short timers. I really liked the solid snake box though!
O jogo ta excelente! Impressionado com o balanceamento que vc conseguiu dar em tão pouco tempo. O nivel de dificuldade cresce de forma gradual na medida certa. A arte tb ta show! Parabens!
Nice game, pretty hard :D And of course very nice music by Euler!!

It was very enjoyable to dodge the bullets on the battlefield, most of the time I forget to use my skills and just dodge them, the visuals are sweet, the sounds are good, the level design is nice
Fun game, good difficulty ramp over the levels and the humor was well executed.
Back to the gameboy roots, really enjoyed this! Thanks for letting me play this on stream, you can find your timestamp on this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1jjtp0dcDg
Love it! Passed 5 levels and will deffinetly return for more. Simple to understand concept but hard to master. Art is simple but very tastful. For me it’s a jam of this game jam!
Good art, I really like working with color :crab:

nice art
Brings me back to running through the trenches going OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP. Super fun! Great Job!
That was cool! like it a lot, all of it, graphics, sounds, mechanics, the only thing I can say is that is a little hard, especially in day 4 and 5, I can´t pass that level yet, is addictive, very well done guys, congrats!

Great game, got me sweating a bit. The dialogs were the best, but the game overall was the perfect amount of challenging. Thanks for making this. :)

This is **awesome game!** Done it very fast, and i like dodge games and also bullet hell. You done it very good, with bonuses, player controls and level design. Level design especially very good, levels are challenging and with some variation.
Great work, guys! :punch:
I don't like reset and dialogs. I want immediatly start play after death or level done, i don't want to wait death animaion finish or dialogs end. I wanna hit play, and run, and run, and run wtih **fast** auto-reset, until I complete level and don't see my level time :)
Loved the music and sounds and very funny! Loved this entry!

Must be on steam

This is a fun bullet hell! The lines from the generals were funny, and I liked the low-bit aesthetic of the environment. I think the items are a little too difficult to use properly, as they're mostly reactive items to get you out of colliding with a bullet, but if I had the reaction speed, I would have just ran out of the way anyways. More passive / not-time bounded items would probably work better, like a permanent shrink, or a piece of armor that protects you against one extra shot indefinitely. Even a temporary invincibility like the Star from Mario would work, but it would have to have a long enough duration that you felt safe using it. I think that for the time provided, you guys managed to make a very polished and enjoyable experience. Great job!
Hey thanks for stopping by the stream last night. If you’re interested here the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1811761064
This game is really fun! Saw it on stream and it looked interesting. The controls felt smooth and dodging bullets is always fun, though I'm really good at these types of games. Spritework is really good, no complaints there! Only complaint is that the hitboxes of the landmines are a bit too big. Overall, short and sweet!

Such a cool little game! I played all the way to the end (level 7 I think), died a lot haha but with a big smile on my face all the way. I love how many diffrent kind of hazards there are. The sound design and graphics are really well done too
The little guy at the bottom was pretty funny, I laughed a few times once I noticed him
nice entry! I enjoyed playing it on stream ^^ Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812243944
Super challenging and fun game - nice work! Didn't really wanna use items though. Just rushing and not giving the bullets much time felt like a good choice.
Had a great time playing this on stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812558164?t=0h34m57s
Fun and challenging, and a fairly fast reset (if a little bugged lol) which is great. Fantastic art style!

hi! you submitted this game on my stream and I played through it :)
here's a link to the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812705828?t=1h15m43s
Great game!
Nice pixel art and interesting color palette.
The dialogues are funny and the music and SFX really helped to give the war feeling for your game.
However, the items were not very useful once we can pass the levels only running and dodging the bullets.
Overall a nice entry!
Awesome game! Played and left feedback on stream: https://www.twitch.tv/ildfuglen
Thought I'd get frustrated with difficulty when I went into your game but it was a lot of fun. Even went to speedrun a couple levels after I beat it. Perfect amount of challenge. Liked the funny dialogue.

This entry feels like finished small game of long lost flash era. Great submission! thanks.
I died way to much xD
haha had a lot of fun though! thank you for the game and nice dialog.

Love the sound design. I feel like the controls could work a bit better if they were set up so one hand does movement and the other uses abilities (ex: arrow keys and Z X C or WASD and something else on the right), but it was pretty fun to play!

I didnt manage to finish level 5 "delivering dream" esle great game idea ! fun, chanlenging, great pixel art ! Original gameplay !

Fun game! The conversations were really silly. It was pretty trippy how your game blended in with the itch page so seamlessly. In terms of the items, I didn't really get the hang of the sandbags, but the coffee, bullet proof vest, and ant man powers were all intuitive and fun. Nice work with the art as well. The limited palette was a good choice and well implemented.

Played this on stream, I thought the aesthetics were consistent and was easy to recognize what everything is at a glance. I was impressed at the design choice to introduce the first gatling gun in a way that it immediately shows its pattern but without the ability to actually hit the player until they got a chance to see it. I didn't find it very easy to utilize the barricade item, and had similar feelings about the box and shrinking items, though their use was a bit less tied to skill. There were a good amount of levels and it felt satisfying to get further and further. It's a bit unfortunate that I missed a good chunk of the flavor text due to focusing on the game. (and the stream) Overall, I had fun playing this game, well done!

I liked the idea of having to deliver a message through a war zone, the game was challenging but not super hard that it becomes tedious.
I think the hit boxes feels too unforgiving though, sometimes I felt that I barely touched an enemy and was dead. The game was fun though!
Cool concept! Simple but effective, fitting the theme nicely. I'd love to have gamepad support to have a bit more precise control on the movement though. Congrats for your entry!
Love this interpretation of the theme! Also the concept is hilarious. The game is really fun, cool to see a bullet hell in this jam and you found a nice level of difficulty. The powerups make it so it isn't *too* frustrating as well as giving the game more depth. Well done!
"If they are not a son of God, I guess they are sitting in Satan's lap".
I loved this little game. I thought the graphics and gameplay were so cute, and the music was good too. The writing was pretty funny and I could see how you put thought into the powerups. There's a lot to like here, and not much to criticise. Great work!
Very cool game! I really like the style for this.
looks great, plays great. cute dialogue and a complete package <3

love the style and the entire vibe the game gives off, it feels really complete! i found it a bit difficult to use the items effectively and often opted for not collecting them at all, but other than that i felt like the difficulty was well balanced! enjoyed it a lot and played till the end.

i love this new take on "frogger"! well done!
What a delightful little game. I can totally see this in an arcade cabinet in the 80s! It's really ingenius honestly.. and it keeps getting better and better with each new "skill" you get given. WHo *doesn't* want to pretend to be Solid Snake and delivery useless parcels? (I thought that was funny, you risking your life (often several times) and for what? To deliver a comb!) The music was great and super appropriate for the game. The game is obviously very on theme for the jam too! The colour palette makes sense for the setting of the game too! I also recognised a few of the death sounds hehe. Great work on this. I'd love to see this expanded upon after the jam, honestly! <3

Simple but effective design with compelling gameplay. Love the colour palette too. Gave me 1980's Commando vibes.
