Really love the art style. Game looks incredible and the audio is great too! I thought I hit a bug when pressing 'A'. Not a lot of feedback, sound or anim to tell me I had pressed it correctly. Found the controls a bit difficult to wrap my head around too. Good luck!
Superb. Overall the presentation is excellent elevated by the audio in general. Gunplay feels satisfying. Really like the use of lighting which ads to the mood and atmosphere. I would maybe add a small lighting/glow around the platforms I can jump on/jump down to so I can see them better. There's also quite a lot of dialogue to get through but that's just my personal pref. Well done and good luck!
Neat game. Love the parallax scrolling which really adds depth (I use parallax too in my game.) Like the art direction as a whole. Well done and good luck.
Wasn't expecting this and was pleasantly surprised. I rated so good luck!
Like it. Jumping feels pretty smooth, like the environment and atmosphere. Nice tutorial section and transitions. Personally I find shoot hard to use on ctrl while jumping. Good luck!
Thanks everyone so far for playing and rating my game and for the feedback :-).
*WebGL version update - post launch* - Some jetpack boost and handling improvements - Initial walk speed increased - Some geometry changes - 'Press Enter' changed to 'Enter' on Main Menu
Thanks @mza. It's non shader code - unity's built-in film grain post processing, as part of URP.
Very cool idea and nice presentation, that is initially a challenge to figure out. The tutorial didn't tell me much about killing the bad guy. Also, not sure why I was not getting any points after killing the bad guy? Lots of potential here. Please rate my game if you can! Good luck!
Excellent game! Presentation is great and had a ton of fun! Good luck!
Great effort for your 1st jam! I like the detail in the player sprite and environments. Music's cool too. I was in the same boat 5 months ago. The difference between my games from LD46 and this jam (https://ldjam.com/users/sherwin-claridge/games) is night and day. I started with the basics of 2D platforming and kept learning from there. Check out Cinemachine for the camera too. Good luck!
Love the simple art direction. Hilarious and the controls feel good. Game crashes when I press Start on the controller. Overall, great job!
Nice VFX on the staff projectile. Great concept. No audio though. A little goes a long way. Overall, well done!
Very addictive. Great animations and art direction. Well done!
Really liked this mood/tone and simple art direction. The character feels responsive to control. Jump on space bar would be great too. Well done
Wow, it had me invested. Great narrative, visuals and music. Well done team!
Really like the flare VFX. Great art direction. Well done!
Can't fault the art direction. Game looks great. I encountered some of the bugs mentioned above. Well done!
Wow love it, edgy too! Looks ace. I keep getting busted and not sure how he got me.
This is so frickin' good! So much juice. Love the game feel, sounds and art. YES!
I would say I want a target icon for the cursor and some feedback when I shoot the enemy vehicles (sparks or smoke or something).
Amazing job
Thanks everyone for playing and the feedback. Really appreciate it!

This is what LD game jams are about. Simple and fun. 10/10
Can't fault the clean, minimalist style.
Really like the art style and the sense of speed.
Can't fault the art style - charming and proffesional quality imo. It adds so much to the art style. Gameplay is simple but fun - who doesn't like throwing a fishing rod. I would say the animation looks a bit odd when you cast it.
Wow insanely cool concept, executed very well.
Like the art direction and the UI looks mega. Gameplay is good. Able to jump 3 times if I spam it
