Oh i love this one a lot! Adorable graphics and fun (and stressful) gameplay. You should definitely rate other games for your game to be more visible!

Nice neon art style and music, fluid gameplay. This screams for more weapon types :)
i love the character!
I'm on my knees. I <3 this so much. This freaking song is one of those I could imagine playing at a funeral.
Ok, this is funny how simlar our entries are, yet different in detail. I obviously like your idea very much and your execution is flawless. Very nice job!
Really refreshing kind of humor :) I digged the gameplay very much but seemed to fck up upgrading so i couldn't beat the level with the fast dudes. I will try again!
Really Nice! Everything it needs is in place. First i thought this maybe a easy one but than it became a freaking bullet hell :D
Nice change of pace to the other entries. Intriguing artstyle and narrative.
This was a really cool game to play and had surprisingly complex mechanics for a LD entry. Replayability is high (at least for me) and this looks like a super solid foundation for an exiting game! Probs!
Sometimes less is more. Loving everything about it!
I was quite stressed, playing this game :D The weird controls (tapping, q/e for 90° turns) made those fights quite intense when i tried to dodge those fireballs. I really like the presentation. Kind of reminiscent of those ray tracing era games.
Nice "little" game but the style and the - don't know - shader? is superb. I will definitely have a look into the source of this one :)
Nice gameplay mechanic! Would be worth to put some more work into!
Nice concept! I dig the music :)
Holy shit, this is one polished package of a game!
It says mac build. But there is no mac build. I want to play this. Please! :)
Oh man as much as i would like to love this game - i love the aesthetics so much - it's unplayable for me :( my macbook pro has serious performance issues with this it and the pathfinding is doing loops all the time. Bummer, i need i proper rig
Indeed it's too easy without more cards and enemies but i like what you achieved so far. The whole system seems to be implemented pretty solid and "only" needs more content :)
What a neat concept. Well executed with really interesting level ideas.
Yay, this was fun to play. And i will definitely revisit it because there seems to be much content to discover. I hided my upgrade panel (not sure if i was maxed) but didn't know how to fight those knights. Quite an impressive entry!
Really nice. Will replay this one. I especially like the map knowledge aspect that comes into play after a while.
Weird game :D
:D this was weird. and clever!
God what an adorable little game! I use to have (too) slow pacing in my games as well so i kind of liked the intro and especially the elevator moment! On the point, fun, really nice art, soundtrack and sfx(! the "ooooooh" when i got hit). I just hope this did not come out of personal experience!
Hell yeah. Super fun game. Makes me want to do something similar. And nice riffing :D
Really good job on the art side, especially with the collisions with the environment. The idea is really interesting! I think it would be worth investing some time into refining the jump mechanics! Keep going!
Nice escape room game! It was a little bit too dark for my notebook and i couldn't play it in fullscreen but i really dig the atmosphere!
This brought back alley cat memories <3
I can only repeat: This was fantastic.
Damn it, big <3 for Bob and this game!
Ok, this is on a professional level. Everything just <3
Let the bodies hit the floor. I was hoping for some enemy variants but it was a fun concept as it is. Needless to say the art is top notch.
This was a pleasant and relaxed playthrough. Fits the music :) i was hoping for a big boss at the end though :)
So much love in one game :o i love the introduction, the bass-heavy music in the beginning is super awesome and the gameplay brought back memories. I'm not the best in these kind of games but i will try again, that's for sure. Super impressive!
"You trust people too much." Yeah, that's me :) Nice concept and well done!

Ok the presentation is off the charts. I absolutely love the level design and variations. everything else, animations, sfx, music (thus a little variation in the 10sec would have been nice to the ears): almost perfect. The different mechanics, their introduction, everything says you are professionals in what you do. The only thing i think was not 10/10 was the pacing and the level design. It was very easy for a little bit too long and then it had some misleading and clever level designs but not that much. On the other hand i couldn't imagine coming up with this amount of content in a week so who am i to complain :)
First thought was there's something wrong with the opengl driver or such. What a cool style that is! The gameplay was fun and solid but yeah, visual representation was king on this one :)
Nice one! I played quite some rounds and tried my best. Congrats for this result!
Great music! I like the art style as well. Unfortunately i made not the best choices of upgrades after the first stage and died a quick death :)
I'm bankrupt :( Funny little game and art! At first i thought he is constantly farting...
LOL. I suppose you didn't had the most stressful weekend. Thumps up!
a clicker game!! :D hell yeah and i got a helicopter!
Those blocking ghost are nerve wrecking :D fun game
The art style and sound design is phenomenal and is an illustration of love for this era of games.
Looks like a lot of content :o Good work!
All hail the loot box god!
As others already said: super lovely pixel art! As others said as well: very slow, sometimes edgy collision detection and funny parallax speed. Keep up the work!
I dont get it entirely but it is really lovely nevertheless <3
Wow. What a great entry in all aspects. And what a hard one (at least for me).
I needed a moment but then it was a surprisingly fun game! Really cool combination of different mechanics and incorporating physics as well. Well done.
I liked playing this a lot but i don't get how to get pass the dudes without getting hurt...
I had a good laugh not being able to play at first. Thanks :D
1001 points. You can last for quite some time if you use your bacon wisely. I really like the ambient track!
37 sec. I dig the music a lot!
Super cool Intro and audio. Sadly the posteffects made it hard for me to play on my device.
Never played a penny before. I really like some clever parts of the level design
Oh dang, i love this!
are - you - freaking - kidding me?! This jumped right on top of my favourits. What the heck. The game is oozing a love for this particular period of games, it's super challenging, it has the perfect score, it as secrets, mini games, the most nostalgic village intro...Dudes. Seriously.
I died old and in misery, with my blood fountaining out of my body :( Really(!) nice graphics and animations. And concept.
I really liked how i could discover the different mechanics through the level design. You seem to know a lot about good game design and the game shows that!
The game achieves a nice mood for me. I like the subtle bloom effect and artstyle. You could invest some more time for more enemies and specials like a dash!
Only have a mac atm...would it be possible to make a macos or webgl build? I want to experience those horrible sounds too!!!!! :D
Wow, don't know exactly what to say. I didn't know what i should expect, i didn't know why i am scheduling my life, i tried my best in decision making, sometimes for the better sometimes for the worst. And then i died. I think you portrait life quite in an appropriate way :D Besides that, the pixel art is lovely and i really like the little stories.
This one was outstanding! Especially the models. And i really dig the dual mechanic with the buddies!
What a nice spin on the meat boy mechanic. And really nice level design. There seems to be lot to discover, i will definitely check this out again later.
Wonderful game and cool change to the top down shooters. I suppose those are shaders for the background, i love them. Despite lack of music the whole thing feels really complete. And thanks for the noob option that allowed me to play through the whole game :)
Didn't know robotic vacuum cleaner have souls :D I enjoyed playing!
Damn those dudes were blazing fast at the end :D Keep up the good work!
Nice one! And a hard one!
Nominated for winner in the category Humor. I had my share of laughs! Thanks.
Ctrl was a pain in the ass for me as well. The introduction sounds like a great adventures lies ahead. I like that. The game has some rough edges: i can spawn messages by pressing 'ä' (german layout) and what are those blue diamonds for? I got stuck at a puzzle but i will try to beat this game. It definitely has charm!
@barrier : Thank you! Lightning should work. Everything nearby the cloud should go down. But you're right with the zoom. It wasn't possible to scale the game without redrawning many assets unfortunately. Playing in fullscreen helps a little bit :)
@jeroenpx : Thx for the kind words! The low volume bugs me the most to be honest. I did everything with headphones and it seemed ok but yeah...bummer :D
@mrpiedpiper Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, many ideas for additional 'weapons'. The meteor didn't cross my mind yet, great idea!
@taddl Thank you! there actually is some background music. Little to subtle i suppose :)
@sarneh man, I can feel you! Your words mean a lot to me!
@gurkenlabs yeah, the music is quite subtle ;) Thank you for your kind words!
I feel like a dork but i don't understand this game.
So many ideas welded together and the result is super satisfying. Maybe the game i played the most until now. Quite addictive, at least for me!
Despite all the roughness this is adorable!
GIMME! Hilarious entry. Super clever model design. Big <3
Awesome entry. Beautiful and lush soundtrack. I managed to finish it on the first try so it was a short but delightful play!
The menu is always visible for me in the webgl version. But i played it nevertheless. and i really like your art style and the demon enemy :D
Damn it, those dudes beat my ass. Not sure how to "dodge" arrows and fireballs. Nice music!
This looks gorgeous. Respawning by pressing space didn't work for me though.
Nice pixel art and animations! Sure, the game could use more enemy variations or traps or movement control like dashing but as a basic concept it works pretty well.
This one was super hard for me. I can't even survive the first wave of super-sword-soldiers. But i really dig the art style and i'm looking forward playing again because you seem to continue balancing and polishing.
