Interesting take on the theme and nice palette swapping effect! I did find the jump a bit too much, maybe some sensitivity so a small tap makes you jump lower would have been nice, also thought there should have been more screen shake on the death and the one on the jump felt like too much (at least for me) as it would make me lose track of where i was in the room. Also if I died, and was still holding a direction, there was no pause on respawn so i would then instantly run into the spikes again and continue like this for a wile (this might just be me being bad at the game lol). Overall a great jam game, cant wait to see the postjam version with the level editor and stuff, keep up the great job :)

In what way does your game fit the theme?
In Budzia you play as a lost soul trapped in a dungeon, looking for his friends, or 'budzia'! As you collect your friends and reform the group you have more strength to break the blocks around you, eventually letting you escape!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All the Coding and Art was made in the week by myself (BLANKDev) and the music was created in the week by MightyJor.

Lots of great points there thank you! I did include a lower jump if you just tap, maybe I didn't make it low enough but I'm sure it's there my bad! I have comments from others from the screen shake being both just right and too much so I don't really know what to do with it! The moving after death thing was just a total mistake, I completely forgot I do apologize! Although the 'its not a bug it's a feature' in me quite likes it as the game is all about fast deaths. The level editor is actually fully working just polishing the UI and making the video now, so that should be out very soon :D Thanks for playing I really appreciate everything!
Dude, you are so stinking good at this. The game was amazing! I've wanted to try this low bit style for like 4 or 5 different games and had to start over because they just didn't look right, but you nailed it. Controls are tight, game is fun, took me awhile to realize the guns only shot when you jumped, but that was part of the fun of learning the game! Music was ok too I guess ;) crank that up to 11 though! Finished it with 20 deaths.
