Good design, and impressive work with the art style using only 2 graphics! The only criticisms I can think of are the lack of music and the score disappearing into the hole if the hole was in the top left corner. Having the score swap to the other color when over the hole would have improved it.

thanks for playing MogWow1! i plan to add more content to the game in a post jam update and maybe i'll come around and add a mini boss as well
thanks for playing Kerdelos! The size of the bullets are like that because of the visual style i chose, yes you are right even i agree that the bullets are really small and can blen into the background pretty easily and i can see how that would make the player experience pretty bad. But it was a sacrifice that i had to make in order to keep the style. I hope you still enjoyed the game and i hope you have a fantastic time!

thanks for your review! I tried my best adding as much indications as i can because im not a big fan of UI elements. The general idea is you have a 1 in 5 chance of healing when you kill an enemy although this is not a solid nor responsive way of healing i had to resort to it because when i was implementing the health system i was really starting to run out of ideas, i didn't want to add an extra item because it would have easily got lost in the middle of the metric ton of meat that is usually on the ground. I will update the tutorial scene for a more indepth explaination in the post jam update. Thanks for your review again! I wish you luck in the jam

thanks for playing Jibbs! i tried my best to smoothen out the difficulty curve of the waves and i guess the shooting enemies can indeed be a little hard due to the spawn algorithm.
about the game you mentioned, no i had no idea about this game i chose this pallet because i remember someone using it in ludum dare 42 and i thought it was an interesting pallet. but after watching the trailer for Sandstorm i considering to download the game so thanks for your recommendation as well
