Just a heads up- the embedded LD version is not playing in my Chrome browser.

I was able to play on itch- interesting little twist there with Brennan! I read all of the buildings but I wasn't sure where to go from there.

Great game! Awesome interpretation of the theme! The story is super dramatic. Didn't like how enemies shoot from off-screen though.

Not sure what to do once I got to the boss?

I finally went through and fixed up the bugs (without adding anything new) and I hope the game feels a lot better now!

Thank you so much @lightningst @yossarian @sqqqwer for playing despite the plethora of issues, I appreciate the feedback a ton!

Unexpectedly detailed and deep story. And I also loved the knife-throwing mechanic. Great game!

Took me a minute to figure out I could aim the swords in different directions. Good job on the story! And comic book like art style!

Works great, smart version of the theme !.

Good approach to the theme and overall I like the entry!

Whoa, awesome way to use the theme! I really liked the story, you can definitely see Brennan spiraling into the depths of despair but still trying to do the right thing, really well written! The gameplay itself felt a bit empty, you could just kind of fly past the enemies and go straight to the boss, but the story really made me want to keep playing. One other issue I had (not sure if I missed a tutorial somewhere or not) was that I didn't realize you actually got to decide between capturing the villain or letting them free, which was a really cool thing to add once I noticed it. Great job!

I appreciate the amount of content there is in the game, especially when it comes to story. I wish there was more variety in combat mechanics and level design. But the story is great, I like all the different villains, just the ending where Brennan is left by his family felt a bit incomplete like you could have gone even further. 😁

I like the "twist" with the theme!

I struggled a little bit with the projectiles of the enemy, since they didnt spawn straight from the gun and therefore could shoot directly "down" - and hit our hero even tough we weren´t in sight.

Other than that, a rich story and a lot of levels!

@woona I definitely wish I had time for a more solid ending sequence! it was on the drawing board but I ran out of time! I appreciate the feedback a ton and I'm a little shocked that someone wants that ending to go... further!?

Story plus gameplay in the same entry in game jam is not so common.

This game need improvements on the aesthetic part and a more innovative gameplay, but I had a good time playing it.
