I want to try this, could you please upload a Mac or web version?

Loved the game, graphics were simple but good! The rocket jumping mechanic was super fun and made for a really cool concept for a simple gameplay loop and adds a lot of character! The damage indicator on the enemies confused me a bit due to not having a health bar but overall I could see myself playing this game whenever I want time to relax and blow up some bad guys!

Me hit enemies, me happy. Me hit floor, me confused how I get my health deleted. Realize I'm standing in a SWARM of enemies, panik.

Loved it :D It was a bit confusing with telling where you were, but aggressive jumping helped.

@haokai-xu-1999 Sure thing! I've just uploaded a Mac version onto itch.io.

Thank you for suggesting I do this - I haven't done Mac builds before, so I learnt something new today. 🙏

Hope you have fun! 🔥 🔥

@myceliumhoney @kuhaku Thank you for the awesome feedback! It does get easy to lose track of the player with how quickly it zoomies around, especially when hurled into a mob of angry stabby ~~British people~~ rock monsters!

I will up the satisfaction factor with some crunchy sound FX and Solo Levelling references! 😱

I really like the graphics and the idea overall! I do wish the movement was a little bit slower so i could control myself better and also i got confused at first when i would jump from shooting horizontally (not directly down). I feel like the idea with variable spread is interesting but doesn't really get to affect gameplay in such small rooms.

Overall, fun times, good job on the compo game!
