Interesting game, crisp controls, and chaotic indeed. Seems pretty straight forward, but it feels like it's just a fast clicking game because you have infinite ammo, and if you don't click fast enough, you just auto-lose. The audio can also be improved. But other than that, great game!

Developer

Thank you! I was wondering if it would be better to add an ammo system but decided against it for time, maybe if I continue this project in the future I can fix those, along with more responsive audio and SFX, thanks for the feedback!

Really good gaem!!!! i like the music but i wish that there was a squish or something when you kill a squid. This gaem also kept me playing for about 10-20 minutes, which is really good for a game jam. Overall i loved this design 5/5, great job and i wish you luck in the jam!

Developer

It's good that you liked the music, I wasn't sure if it really fit the theme, I was planning on working on an SFX system, but ran out of time, unfortunately. Thanks for the feedback!

Feels like it has some potential, the biggest thing I missed was some Audio Feedback. For instance, when killing a Squid, I would like to hear some noise from it. Could you play my game too? https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1174314 , would be appreciated.

Thanks! I was planning on getting some SFX for deaths and shooting but ran out of time in the end, your game is really good!
