I don't see any links to play the game on the page, can you update it so I can play it, art style looks really cool btw! (Ping me when you update it with @sicosiber)

Played the working link! the player feels a little slow (even while sprinting) But I loved the art style! Great work, especially given the time limit!

I really love the hand drawn art style and UI and the music was a bop. The gameplay felt a bit weird to play but other than that this is a very solid entry well done.

This game is pretty 420blazeit. The art that's finished is good, and the music would help to build a really tough vibe. But it's ruined by how sluggish the character is.

basic-eagles 2025-04-07 23:53

The character movement is really rough, we knew it. Like this is our first action shooter so we still learning various stuff. Anyways, thanks for the feedbacks!

The dangers in the game need to stand out more, spikes look way too similar to the ground, and enemy bullets are tiny and gray. But aside from that, the graphics are really good. By the way, best UI! The gameplay works well enough, though I wish there was more feedback when the timer runs out, at first, I was confused about why I died. I also wish the shoot key wasn’t E; it’s a bit awkward to press while walking right with D. But overall, well done!

Movement needs some more polishing, besides that its pretty good. UI does block the view of enemies tho

chloew 2025-04-08 03:19

Love the art style and especially the UI. Very stylish. Movement was very floaty, though.

vinnnie 2025-04-08 07:16

The art and UI were great, level design awesome.

Just like others have said, movement should've been quicker, gravity heavier, bullets and dangers bigger and more obvious, reload a bit quicker too.

Also shoot on click not E. But the vibe was there guys.

i like your idea and art. But game slow. It will be butter if you make main character faster! Any way, you did great job

прикольная игра, понятное управление. звуки и атмосфера отличные

yopin 2025-04-08 12:05

Super meat boy with shotgu, I love that! Graphics are nice, and all that is happening is clear, I can see shots and where I should go, what is dangerous and what is save. Only thing that I found that was a little bit wierd, was loosing the momentum when jumping. But this is a thing that I quickly adapted to. Overall, game has interesting mechanics and is really fun to play.

polina-makarova 2025-04-08 12:41

simple and pleasant visuals, the only thing I found was that the music was too active for the locations and our not very fast movements

thegreatcarpet 2025-04-08 14:33

Very cool game! The visuals are simple, and they suit the game. It's definitely hardcore, no healing items, but that's part of its charm. Good job!

bestdtang 2025-04-08 14:50

I absolutely love the art and setting! The jumping feels a bit off, but as a Game Jam project—totally understandable.

alexrak2 2025-04-08 15:14

Man, this one was good. The art itself was really good and drew me in. Love the game!

2025-04-08 16:40

прикольная игрушка, мне нравиться управление,но только когда игрок бежит и потоп прыгает, он почему то резко теряет скорость, хотя должно быть наоборот, в любом случае графика очень красивая и видно что игра сделана от души!

agraffs 2025-04-08 17:21

Liked the handdrawn map. The graphics in general are fun and the Supermeatboy-ish parody side it has to it is enjoyable. The UI could be a bit smaller so the enemies aren't hidden behind it.

senkoso 2025-04-08 19:39

ig I'm a bad boy now

ksenia-qq 2025-04-08 23:46

графика бомба, интерфейс,музыка тоже очень приятные, мне все понравилось! только,геймплей показался немного странным, но а так,все топи топ

platonenko 2025-04-09 00:52

that moment when a bad controller becomes a gameplay element) I enjoyed it! It was painful in places and that's what made it fun!

jordanfb 2025-04-09 00:52

Dang what an intro! The music and cutscene really adds a lot. Fun game, I struggled with the itch.io browswer build as well but I'm on firefox so maybe that's why. The jumping was a little rough, and i struggled that I couldn't aim behind me (and if I jumped over an enemy I couldn't aim down at them), but it was lots of fun and had great vibes. Keep it up!

jared-saizdelamora 2025-04-09 02:30

Some optimization issues aside, the art and vibe of this game was something else. Great work!

joyceisdrawing 2025-04-09 06:13

I really liked the art style! Unfortunately the UI was really bulky and blocking some enemies on top of enemies sometimes shooting at me before I can see them or react. The controls felt a bit clunky for the platforming and having to turn my character around in order to shoot things behind me got in the way of the action. I do see the juice for this one though and would love to see what it would've look liked with more polish

oddmes 2025-04-09 15:49

Agree with previous comments. Music is so good, I just jumped in place and vibed.

paul1379 2025-04-09 17:54

Art, UI and music are great but the character movements need improvements

lazar-cvetkovic 2025-04-09 19:10

Really cool art and setting, but the controls (especially jumping) feels too slow

myezko 2025-04-09 19:58

The music is SO loud, at least i can turn it down. Player movement could be improved (feels kinda slow) and the bullet visibility (the bullets are very small). But other than that, pretty good game.

jddoesdev 2025-04-09 20:45

Interesting concept. I didn't really get the feel of depths though. I agree that the movement was slow and there were times when an enemy got behind me that I couldn't turn around to shoot without dying. I did love the art style and had fun playing it, but a little more speed to the character and maybe add shoot to the mouse as well.

cammin 2025-04-10 05:28

Art is nice, but the movement is kind of slow, and the hurt detection is kind of unforgiving. But, I do think the presentation is very good. I suspect that the loading screen was artificially added to pad out time, which I felt detracted from the experience. I feel like the attention was put on the presentation of the game's flow and structure instead focusing on the gameplay which will be the most important part. But I liked what I saw, and I wish the best for future projects :)

oduvan 2025-04-12 16:12

Really enjoyed this one! The art and UI are super slick — very stylized and consistent. Loved the atmosphere too.

That said, the movement felt a bit too floaty for the kind of action you're going for. A snappier jump and maybe slightly faster running speed would really boost the moment-to-moment feel.

Also agree with others: bigger bullets and more visible hazards would help a ton with readability.

Still, for a jam game? Super impressive. Looking forward to what you make next!

mikeliosus 2025-04-13 13:08

You did really well in such a small amount of time.

I would recommend a few things if you planning to build a full scale project out of this one: - The game should be much more dynamic for the vibe you are delivering - Character should be more responsive and covered with various animations - I would not reccomend to apply force while enemy shoothing at you unless it fits very good - When enemies noticing you - there should be a clear sign (even if they are out of your screen), it is much better if enemies are in you vision when noticing you. There is kinda two approaches - one-screen levels where you can see enemies and they will shoot at you on direct sight or you should give player a time to adapt - Obstacles should have better visibility. - If you making such a shooter game I would strongly reccommend to allow player shooting while walking backwards, or just rotate the weapon 360

Anyway, you did well! Hope you will develop this one even more! Good luck!

The game is ok, but there are some downsides.

Good graphics, nice loading screen :3, The location is good for Ludum!

2025-04-13_18-57-46.png

You can't see the bullets, neither yours nor the enemy's. I accidentally found the "Speedup" mechanic. There is a desire to shoot with the left mouse button

The enemies are disgusting! >:( No sprite, pushes us away, reflects our shots with theirs! In general - annoying.

You can just run through the level without destroying enemies, but this is not a big problem

An interesting idea - not very successful implementation, but still relevant!

kuboi 2025-04-16 16:38

I like how this game looks and the killing of enemies is really satisfying! The UI is top notch as well:)

The movement feels a bit too floaty and jittery that definitely needs some polish. Also for the love of all that's holy why put the shoot action on E instead of LMB? xD

PS. There is no way the loading screens need to be that long for such a small game, feels like it's loading tons of shaders and 3D models lol. But the loading screen does look cool, so I respect you wanting to show it off haha
