Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Very elegant mechanic that's doing multiple things, I just wish the controls were more responsive. But I love that it's all from a single input! Its capturing the idea of Downwell, having a single mechanic do multiple purposes.
  • Brrr chainsaw!! Definitely fits the theme, though I wish there was more variety in the speed thru different materials or a faster experience. Kept getting stuck sadly going left and right, but I can see the vision and I am a fan =)
  • The gameplay of ripping through a bunch of flesh is pretty fun. The controls were a little tough to get the hang of and I think could use some tweaking, but once I figured it out I enjoyed playing. Nice job!

How does the game fit into the theme?
you cannot stop.

What premade assets did you use if any?
some code I have written before:
My Collision System,The Score number pop up, my statemachine.
Music was available for free so its premade, not by me, more details on the itch page.

Cool, unlucky you didnt completly get it, tutorialization needs to be updated. Its actually a really different game if you get it right but i need to find a way to communicate this properly.

Oddly satisfying flesh shredding game. The graphics are cool and fleshy, the music is epic and the sound effects are satisfying.
One thing I feel would be a nice addition is to leave marks/wound on the flesh that you cut through and maybe an indicator of what mode the chainsaw is in because I sometimes get confused if it's in the bouncing mode or shred to flesh in a straight line mode.
Good job!

I can definitely see myself playing this game non-stop via my phone whenever im on bullet train, i loved it so much. Let us know if you create an android version pls. Also a small bug-ish thing i encountered: after killing the eye , the walls both werent meat so my chainsaw just constantly bounced until the constant up movement get me to the meat walls.

thanks for the feedback! I will make a mobile game out of this but I also want to include any feedback and polish it up a bit more. Going to get to it once the jam is over so ill start in like another week :D Glad you liked it!

good game, it would suit mobile if you were to continue working on it.

Very cool!

Wow, this looks, sounds and feel amazing! One of the best I've played yet, great job!

I felt the controls were confusing (in fact, I'm still not sure I understand it xD) but everything else was perfect.

Really enjoyed your game! The mechanics were super fun. I made a platformer about a nerd surviving a chaotic gym—would love to hear your thoughts!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun haha! The concept is very original, and although it is a bit difficult to control the chainsaw at first, you learn it quickly and it becomes very fun to progress.

Also, the music and art also fit very well with the style.
Nice work! :D

nice and gruesome, music is great, you should definitely release a mobile version

Yes! I will do bit more work on the game once the jam is over

Addicting game haha, really fun mechanics. Well made!

really cool!

I love it, lol. Cut the eyeballs in half and destroy everything. Played like 5 runs until I got 15,000 and I am now satisfied. I've destroyed so much. My only complaint is that I swear sometimes I'd cut through an eyeball and then remain attached to it after instead of flying through, and die immediately when it fell into the electrified area at the bottom.

is a fun little game that had me playing more than once to keep trying to beat my score!

Very interesting!! Really like the difficulty curve!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting ! Like the idea and how the diffulculty increase !

Submitted(+1)

What I really liked about the game is that it is quite difficult at first, but you are actually getting better and it doesn't feel like the difficulty comes from bad game design like in other games I've played for the Jam. Good Job.

Submitted(+1)

This one is very interesting! A little cruesome, but still very interesting. I really like the simple mechanics you have here!

Good job!

Submitted(+1)

It's a unique concept that is marvellously executed! The aesthetics are reminiscent of the golden age of flash games; it gave me a very nostalgic feeling. Well done! :)

Submitted(+1)

Wonderfully disgusting! That was really simple yet unique mechanic that was implemented soo well, and you themed it really creatively.

Submitted(+1)

Really creative game. Easy to learn, difficult to master. Also kinda disturbing lol
