How does the game fit the theme?
You can risk your score to get more points or leave the game whenever you want, keeping them.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I didn't make the SFX sounds, i got them from ChipTone by SFBGames. Everything else was made by me from scratch.

Fun little game. Controls are very Mario-esque. May cause some rage hehe. Great job
Thanks!
cool game but the movement is a bit too slippery 9/10
but still loved the post processing and the art :D
Thanks! Yeah, I need to improve it and change the buttons haha
I like it! It was a little hard for me, but enjoyable. Good job! :)
Thank you!
Audio was nice, mechanics and theme were pretty tight, nice job!
Thanks!
Nice little game loop. Nice gamble mechanic. Nice lil guys to shoot. Nice game!
Thanks a lot!
A very interesting game I love the art style Not bad
Thank you!
Really fun game! Super impressive! The art was amazing!
Thanks a lot!
Nice entry! The concept is perfect for the theme. I think the movement would feel a little better if letting go of W early would end your jump, so you can jump various heights depending on how long you hold the key. This isn't necessary though, but I think it would serve the game well. Good work!!
Good idea, thanks!
Loved the concept! I would love to see a health bar, and its really hard!
Thanks for the feedback!
using j was kinda awkward but the idea of risking high score is cool
Thanks! I may use the click button the next time
Fun game! ive never used j to shoot before and i couldnt see my health so i would just die but i was flying around killing them lol
Thanks for playing! I'm not much of a pc player, would the click button be better to shoot in a game like this one?
yeah most likely and then you can give the player more freedom to kinda aim around if you wanted or even space bar if you wanted to keep it locked
Sounds nice, thanks!
Fun game!
I was a little confused about what I had to do, and I ended up going back to the description section to find out.
Overall I really enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Good visuals and audio. Interesting take on the theme. Some feedback is that the ground looks disproportional, and it can be hard to see if player gets hit. It looks like the characters have a mouth and two eyes, and that looks really cool. Well done!
Thanks!
Cool game, congrats! I pretty much agree with what everyone else wrote here so far, I would only add that enemy bullets should move a lot slower so you can dodge them. Also, I suppose there are some people that like mixed pixel art resolutions, but it generally just makes the assets look disconnected. If you want to keep working on this game, try making everything at the same resolution, I think you'll like that better too.
Yes that's a good point. I didn't have much time to work on visuals, there's much I need to polish. Thank you!
game is great and fun but the controls kinda stained the experience, W to jump was a bit odd, same with J to shoot, but the jump is also a bit too fast which feels weird as well
Thanks for the feedback!
Great game with good visuals and music. Maybe it's just me, but I found movement to be a bit difficult. Though it's probably because I'm very used to using space to jump. I feel like the game would be much improved if there were multiple levels that get progressively harder. Then, every time you reach the screen that asks if you want to continue, it goes to the next level. That, and the addition of power ups in between each level, would really help the game with progression and feel more complete!
I like your idea, thanks!
I think my main problem with this game is that enemies can spawn on top of you and immediately shoot you without you being able to avoid it. Other then that, I enjoyed the gameplay and movement along with the main risk taking mechanic.
Haha yeah, I ran out of time and couldn't change that, thanks!
The visuals are great and movement feels good. To improve maybe use more vertical space as I found jump movement and jumping between platforms to be fun
Yes, that would be nice, thank you!
nice game! well done
Thanks!
Cool game with great visuals. I think maybe the jumping could've be improved a bit but it's still very enjoyable
Thank you!
