Ranked from 7 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
The player is a puppet which is used in a play and my interpretation was that acting isn't real and it gets tied to the plot of the game.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes.

Only thing that isn't mine is the music. I got it from here:

I really likes the concept.

Great potential! I noticed what others did and it seems unfair at times. Hitboxes seemed large on the spikes area. This game however is really good. Great lil story! I think you should polish and continue this game. there is huge potential and if you do I will follow with great interest. Overall great jam! polish is all this baby needs!

A couple of things stood out - the lack of adjustable mouse sensitivity and lack of knowledge of your attack range in a high speed game like this is a death sentence, it felt horrible. Now that said, this game has INSANE potential as a roguelike once the gamefeel is in place! I love the potential.

Yeah.. I noticed I forgot to make the projectiles not framerate dependent. On my computer everything runs fine but everyone's pc is different. I didn't notice this until I showed a friend on a lower end computer. Maybe when the jam is over I can fix this and give the intended experience but still thank you very much for playing I completely understand the criticism.

Tip: You do not need to kill all the enemies to beat the level. If it gets to hard and you just wanna see how the game end just rush the key.

Really cool idea for a game, and a great idea for a story!  It was very fun but I felt like the combat was a bit unfair at times. Maybe if you turned down the skeleton shoot rate and made a health bar for the player's puppet it would make the combat even more fun!  This is great for a 1 week game!
