well this is a experience, cool little nice game!
Really love the mood here! My only art gripe would be to make the UI a bit more themed to the game to add even more to the mood but overall really fun!
Overall its pretty nice for a jam game and a fun lil time.
I think overall the gun could have gotten a bit more game feel for it perhaps a bit more damage. And a easier way to see the health would be nice i see what you guys went for with the portrait damage though still having a health bar would be nicer.
Kudos to the 3d artists ;)
This is a really cute and nice.
Its a simple concept and thats exactly what you should be going for in game jams i think its overall pretty fun only things lacking are better sound effects and tighter movement on the pole and perhaps a tiny bit more mechanics with the enemies or the elvetor.
But overall a pretty fun expirience!
So, game design wise its fine there are a few things that need some work on like you can spawn your clones infinetly and by doing so you will also lag the game at some point and the enemies are overall pretty slow and inconsequential.
Love what you guys have here its overall quite fun.
Game design vise: To make it better i would have gone for upgrades rather then consumable items in the shop (such as player movement speed upgrades or bullet damages ones). Try to introduce more variants to enemies (enemies that fires a bullet at you ect.) Improve the game feel. This includes all the tiny things such as the player having perhaps some animations for firing and for the player to fire less but more impactfull shots. Player moving just a bit faster and smoother.
Art wise: I would have gone for a simpler, more minimalistic style to have more time to refine it and perhaps make more animations for it.
Overall great fun with great music and charming characters
Game has a bunch of cool mechanics and is overall quite enjoyable although there is not much incentive to actually kill enemies or their nests or charge the robots since you can just charge the station and leave quickly.
Oh hell yeah this game is good. I really love the mood and the artstyle you guys went for and the mechanic of being able to create platforms is done super well. Some of the problems i notice is a lack of in game tutorials, the song is pretty good but it really grinds your ears, the player controls could be more responsive and less slidey. Though this game is super fun!
its such a lovely game!
The most fun game in this jam, nice visuals, nice audio, and the game loop is such a brilliant idea! I was a bit confused on what the shields exactly did and also the game was very easy to strategize around. I really want to see more of this game in the future!
i think this game has quite a lot of charm although it lacks a bit of tutorials explaining for example how much each opbject gives points and what do some objects do, and also the crabs stunning you is quite annoying and the waves that destroy your castle are also not that much pleasant. Game is very charming though!
This game has wonderful graphics and pretty amazing aesthetic and audio, altough there are a bunch of design issues with the gameplay. Like the lack of information your given and the need to go through trial and error to figure out puzzles that you cant easily figure our with just logic, now this wouldnt be too much of a issue if there werent a timer and if the radar respawned alongside gunpowder since then you could just try and see what they do over and over and then eventually come to the conclusion. But the respawn and the short timer make it non user friendly and you have to spend a lot of time walking. Great potential to expand and make the post-jam game!
Holy shit dude this is fun, i really love the card mechanic, you can expand on that so much further and add some kind of rpg mechanics and combat and continue making the game and it will be SICK. Now considering this game for the ld the only things i noticed that bother me is that a lot of cards dont really have many reason to go to them. I feel like the game would much more benefit from having to find cards that contain some keys or something so you can unlock the hard levels that have the things you have to collect and perhaps room cards that have the same chests but those chests contain special hard levels for some rewards.
super fun game, you get to like pour water on flowers and you know what, i like that, yeah pouring water on flowers is good, yeah a flower getting shades is cool, yeah i cant complete the bucket level because its hard. very cool, would be cool to have some more consistency with the water physics
very fun core game loop and ideas also art! Also pretty smart usage of color in a black and white game to indicate more danger, but the player movement feels very sluggish and stiff
Game was pretty deam fun to play so thats really nice! The game could be improved on by having easier to see bullets and more responsive movement from the main character. And it didnt have much to do with the theme (but the theme is dull anyway so thats completely understandable haha)
i am completely blown away, its such a fun idea with a amazing art, audio, music and gameplay. Such a great plesure to play and enjoy this game!
wow, this is probably the most fun game i have have played so far from this LD. It has a extremely groovy tune with well executed fun gameplay and a artstyle to fit it! Game is Absolutely Fantastic!
This game is awsome with its mood and characters, and the gameplay is pretty fun too!
the game looks absolutely amazing, the mood is very rich and the sounds and music are quite nice. But the gameplay is clunky
this game is so wholesome and cute, i melt
pretty well made with cute graphics, really fun to suck in a lot of animals and use them as jet fuel

This game takes it for me. I see warioware vibes in a jam game brain neurons go brrrrr. Love the collection of minigames here, really nice difficulty scaling. Charming art. Is there even something to point out here other than i would love more content to play more lol

Interesting game! Found the meta of placing the all the blues on top of each other for easy movement ;)

Very cute jam entry! Love the soundtrack, love the aesthetic. Id say would have loved to explore and play the levels out a bit more as the darkness engulfs you surprisingly quick. But overall love it!

pretty fine game. decent atmosphere and the dad is indeed bald. I was a bit confused by the map as there wasn't much to be found but nice entry!

Pretty fun cute game! also unexpectedly difficult O_O

Very interesting game! Even if the art is a bit rough i think the overall aesthetic is very interesting, love the combination of tight corridors, low lights, and the character sprite with all the environmental sounds. Id say the one thing that could be improved is the vertical movement as that felt a bit awkward but otherwise very cool!

Wow, extremely clean game design for this one. I love the concept, mood and game feel of this. Good combination of mechanics like the reaper asking you to sacrifice health for power ups and the ability to reset your jumps/dashes on kills. Makes it both very intuitive but also leaves potential for fast paced play. Also the visual direction not being too overdetailed and minimalist in nature seems like has let you iterate on your game loop far more. Again love everything done here, this is exactly how game jams should be handled amazing work!

Great game! Few hiccups here and there with the audio being a bit too loud and controls being a bit weird but overall very fun!

Love the art and aesthetic of the game!
Controls are a bit weird and sfx were a bit loud.
