In what way does your game fit the theme?
Quick, watch out for the multiple hordes of enemies coming your way. Oh, and did I mention they can take control of your mouse? No? Then I probably didn’t tell your about how they can steal your controls, did I? Well good luck, you will need it.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, although we used things like cinemachine.

Wow, this game was awesome, the fact that you can change around the buttons to still go in certain directions when your buttons are stolen is actually so cool. Well done! My friend and i were freaking out when we discovered the cool mechanics you made!

Great game, and very innovative concept. Fits the theme decently. Neat graphics and audio. I reached till round 4, whenever i lost an arrow i was kinda destined to lose cuz i'd get stuck on one side. Great job!

Please do check out my game as well :)

Awesome game! Cute art style and the sound effects were super satisfying. The way the aliens caused chaos by taking away player control was cool and fit the theme well!

Cool idea! I thought it might be cool if the wasd keys were in the middle of the map instead and you kinda guard them?

it was fun and easy but when the key thieves came in it became even more fun and chaotic

At first I thought it was not that chaotic, but then I lost the key "A" and the game took a 180. Great game!

Very interesting mechanic! Although it feels a bit unfair when they still your 'right' key and then run off to the right. You will never be able to get your key back. Perhaps a fix would be to have 'forward' be walking towards the mouse? Then it would still be really annoying if your keys get stolen, but not as backbreaking. Just an idea though :)

Otherwise the game felt really smooth and poslished. The slight screenshake feels good, the health of the enemies is just right, and the difficulty ramps up in a fair way! All-in-all great job! I enjoyed playing it a lot :)

You're right that it does feel a bit unfair. When the purple alien steals, let's say, your D key, and runs to the right, you can drag a key you're not using to the D box (let's say you dragged the S key to D box), now you can use S to move to the right and recover the stolen key. We forgot to explain this in the tutorial screen hehe... Still though, thank you so much for playing our game and giving us feedback! We appreciate it greatly <3

The monsters look cool, the overall design is very cool. I love the control stealing mechanic, really unique. You should work on this after the jam!
