Sorry! The web build isn't working, and the page won't let me edit anything. Trying to fix that.

very interesting concept and funky music!

Pretty neat! I like the super hot style combat with a 2D perspective. Audio was a bit much so I turned it down. I like activate and deactivating the trap via the wifi signal as well. Overall solid entry.

Neat concept, was fun exploring and finding the different enemies. They were a bit tanky so it felt a bit tedious trying again after my first failure. The music is interesting, almost hypnotic and disorienting. Good work

@dan-whiffing Bullets do more damage if you're closer to the enemies, sorry if the description didn't say that very well.

Like the tunes, web build played okay for me btw

Very simple and neat gameplay, but it's fun to play. The concept of shooting Wi-Fi is something new to me; that's a great idea. Nice work

had my fair bit of fun playing it, the music is a bit daunting but nothing a windows mixer can't fix, cool concept and the vibe is cool ! good job

I love the fact that the embeded version on a game called "unstable internet" throws "Uh oh!". Other than that the game is cool. Funky music and cool aesthetics

Cool concept! I like how it's designed so the enemies are easier to hit when they're closer, but it's also riskier. The cyan enemies are nasty, I like that. Good job!

@mountaingoose I'm surprised the web build worked for you. Maybe it's an OS-specific issue.

Very cool and interesting concept, using wifi signal as the mechanism! Can be a bit hard but I enjoyed playing it!

Cool game, a lot of content for a jam game! I would advise giving more feedback when you hit an ememy, such as a particle effect. As it is now, the bullets seem to pass through the enemies.

I only managed to get this far. The spike + flame traps are hard to do because the player character moves too much and the tiles are too little. :') Still, it was pretty fun!

P.S.: Oh and the switchable range mechanic was pretty innovative too I think! :)

pretty nice game, I like the simple pixel art, the enemy attacks are varied in a very fun and unique way. Although something that detracted from the fun was that the shooting was weirdly inconsistent, I'd be shooting and the bullets would randomly stop shooting but the audio would still play. I assume this is just a bug, not sure if it's an issue with frame rate or something else, but worth trying on a laptop that's weaker. Other than that, really fun and great concept, especially with being able to deal more damage to enemies when they are closer, super good risk-reward system. Keep up the good work :D

Loved the concept, but I fell it can be used for so much more: intermittent movements, stasis, state rollback and etc. Still a nice game. Also loved bosses.

jnur 2026-04-23 20:24

Fun. The graphics were really nice, they had a consistent style that fit the vibe of the game really well. My only complaints would be that the music was a bit grating to me (but I do get the vibe you were going for), and the enemy hitboxes could've been a bit bigger. Overall I like the idea and the execution though!

Cool simple art and funny little guys)Screenshot_20260426_131714.png

Nice. I really like the art style in that kind of bloomy, glitchy pixel art style. The music kind of fit the art style, but found it a bit kind of unlistenable after not very long :grin: . Was kind of thrown by the lack of visual feedback when I was shooting enemies, with the switching on/off wi-fi mechanic I wasn't really sure when i was damaging them or not. Also really needs a restart button at the end. Played a couple of rounds, but never did that well. Had fun though. Nice work.

Like the graphics!
