Man i wish i had a controller to try out your game and rate it, the comments make me feel like im missing out :')
Speaking of missing out, think you can try our game so you don't miss out on it?

The art style is very unique and everything looks like it came out of a comic-ish story book, I love it! I did not go very far without a controller, but I like the alien/mystery atmosphere of the game. (there's probably a way to aim with keyboard that I haven't figured out T^T)

The opening scene is amazing. The separation of layers of the sea give it a paper theater style effect (I have no idea what it's called), so I kinda wish the game continue with more of this layer-effect artistic style.

Lastly, I think it would be nice if the camera can see a bit further.

Other than that, I think this is a very beautiful game!

Nice game! Great graphics!

Picking up coins, hearts etc. feels a bit weird. Like how you can push them away.

I wanted to try to just keep falling. Maybe some feeback depending on how far you feel down without touching the ground. That would be cool.

really great, of the best this jam. the music is nice as well.  once i figured it out it became very fun trying to progress as quickly as possible

Cool game, cool graphics... the music is very nice too. The art style is very different, and i like it. Yeah I had to figure out the keys cuz i do not have a controller lol, but that was okay.. this is a fun game, well done!

Hi, Your game is really cool. Specially the graphics loved them. 

I'd love you to play mine. Its unique platformer and top-down blending. This is my first jam BTW.  Please check the gameplay, I bet you will love the challenge when you play by yourself.

Visually a very nice game! The dreamy filter and particles with the hand-drawn-looking sprites have a really nice vibe to them. Not sure the music loops more than once? Same with our main menu haha, it happens. Didn't hate keyboard controls, re-aiming with diagonals wasn't a bad idea!

Very nicely made! I love the simple idea and how easy and smooth it felt to experience it.

Nice game, i await more updates after the jam

are there going to be updates?

I understand your pain with the "Play With a Controller" issue. We shoulda spammed that in our description too.

Great game, I wish I had a short hover or something so I don't constantly land on enemies I can't see and dye. Otherwise, it worked well and I don't have many complaints.

The visual presentation was fantastic, whoever did that deserves a steak dinner at an Italian bistro.

Great job!

(Ironically): If you have another person and a CONTROLLER available to plugin please check out my game!

Pretty fun game, glad to see more games with controller support! Made it to just around 1000 down. My one gripe is that only the rapid fire gun really seemed good, the other 2 were mostly just worse. Loved the little animation at the beginning too, got me invested =)

Sorry, I had no controller.
But one of the best games I played in the jam. Even the opening scene was very pleasing.

The art for this game is fantastic!  Honestly, it looks really good, I think the only issue is that the CRT kind of effect is a bit much on the edges, but overall it looks really good!  I admittedly didn't know what was going on, and aiming with the same stick you used to move was a bit clunky, but it seemed pretty polished and well done overall, great job!

This is as far as I reach. Died just after that screenshot.

The game, even simple, is fun.

There are some issues I found, apart from the once you already mention:
- Controller doesn't have the Deadzone configured correctly. Don't know if you used Input System or Legacy, but it's very easy to set it up.
- The money (which doesn't seems to have any effect on the gameplay as far as I reach) counter went back to 0 after 999.
- Also the pickup object should have a trigger collider, to avoid player to step over them. I realize you didn't set them as triggers for simplifying the physics of them. You could solve it simple by checking if there's floor under them, and if not, enable gravity, and when reaching floor, disable it. Just a humble suggestion.

Love the visual effects you used. Really add to the atmosphere of the game.

Great job! Congratulations!

Graphics are AWESOME! The thing I would add to this game were visual effects when I hit something, I noticed that I would let out some particles when I took damage, but I couldn't really notice it, it needed that I M P A C T haha, that way you would have a really good game juice c: Other than that, the game is pretty great :D 

Very nice art style, I love the main menu. Unfortunately I dont have a controller I can play with on here, but I gave it as good a go as I could with keyboard and it was fun regardless, just became more of a jump and dodge game than a shooting game, so well done! If you're up for it, we would appreciate it if you could check our game out too :)

 great, and I love the control, its easy to learn the game! Hows mine?
