You've got the potential for a great game, but it seems to be more like a tech demo than a full-fledged game. The separate mechanics are cool — breeding different-coloured bunnies, using them to unlock secret areas and all the other mini-games you've hidden in the game. Put together, its a mishmash of different little things and I'm not sure if that's what you aimed for. Good job nevertheless!

The theme didn't really come together in the final build IMHO — the prototype had like 10x more cannonballs shooting at you and seemed a lot more fun. Maybe could have made the "secret" boss battle a normal part of the game — that minigame was more engaging than the main game itself. Overall a solid execution, given you had only three team members. Also the SWEGbot was really cute :D
The control scheme was a bit unorthodox, but a fun little game. Love the visual style!
Initially I was having trouble with warming up to the game — without audio, it's pretty bland and the aiming mechanics seem to be a bit off. That said, the audio and overall humor make this game pretty amazing. I especially liked the laser sounds and the surprise ending. Also, the ambient background was awesome and added a lot of atmosphere. Overall an extremely funny and surprisingly solid game.
The music was very cool, although a bit too upbeat compared to the overall disease-ridden theme. The mixture of 2d and 3d resulted in some very confusing angles at times, but overall the main dungeon-crawling RPG tropes were there.
Although the theme was captured very well, the gameplay was a bit too bland — could use more enemies, traps, turrets etc. to keep it moving. Without them, there were quite many completely empty areas where your only solution was shooting at the ceiling to progress, which is part of the game but gets old pretty fast. The little easter eggs and powerups were fun, though, and given it was still a jam game, the outcome was solid. Loved the backgrounds and other nice touches here and there.
