How does your game fit into the theme?
A lot of explosions in a chain reaction! Lack of treats for D.A.D. spiraling into a Dragoon uprising.

I absolutely loved the aesthetics on this! Everything was so well done, from the explosion mechanics to the incredible health bar with the crows. The bosses were neat and I loved how the game actually gave love to Longgoons for once!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed :>
This game is polished in every regard! Love the diegetic health bar. Maybe consider disabling bullet collision for dead enemies and adding an attack pattern for the final boss? Good job!
Thank you so much for playing! I'll fix the bullet collision for dead enemies in a few hours!
Very cool visuals! The chains of explosions are awesome!
The level design is well made but it took me some time to figure out that certain elements are blockers that only disappear after blowing up a connected element in a different part of the map. Eventually I got it. XD
Sometimes the enemy dead bodies would block my shots, preventing me from taking out enemies further away. Would be nice if dead enemies stopped colliding with the bullets.
Definitely looks like a game that could be in that speedrun records website.
Great job, team!
Thank you for playing! Yeah the connected obstacles weren't communicated well haha. I'm glad you figured it out! :>
This is super polished in the visual aspect, gameplay is super simple and fun too, great work!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm happy you enjoyed :>
This game is awesome! Visual effects are polish and clear, especially the explosions! Enemy designs are hilarious and clear to what their purpose are and the levels are unique and feel completed. My only nit picking is how wish my bullet would go pass the dead enemies.
Still, this is great, bravo!
Thank you so much! I should probably fix that hahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Seems like many have already talked about the HP bar and tight controls, but I want to point out the crazy amount of polish in the visual effects as well. The explosion effect is really well done, impactful, and conveyed the blast radius well. Actions like shooting, getting hit, and running are accompanied by plenty of effects. The level design is also polished, never felt repetitive, and things like HP and enemies are well placed. Another cool feature is that the aiming is not completely 2D. It took me a while to realise it, but it nice to be able to hit the dragoons that are otherwise unreachable. Good job on the game!
Thank you so so much for the kind words! I'm really happy you enjoyed the game!
Really pretty game! Loved the HP bar being crows. It was definitely quite difficult, and kudos on the super fast clear time. I only managed to clear it in 7 minutes on my first try. It was quite hard to place my own bombs to clear the path without the enemies surrounding me.
Thank you so much for playing! For your first try, 7 minutes is really, really good. I was worried that the game might be too much on the difficult side, so I'm glad to know that there are people that are finishing the game.
Fun game with very satisfying explosions. My favorite part is actually the HP bar, it's super creative!
Thank you so much for playing! Ayyy we're so glad you like the HP bar hahaha
I am tempted to speedrun it to beat the best time, but I gotta rate other games too! The art design is fantastic, the controls are tight, and the sound are splendid. Things get more out of hand the further you go. AND it has the most unique health system I have seen yet! Truly this is a spectacular jam game! Fantastic!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! The health bar being a bunch of crows on a powerline was such a silly idea that we just had to do it.
Our playtesters played through the game so much that they began to find i-frame and respawn exploits to make their runs go faster than we expected. It's nuts.
Thank you for playing!
Ah so THAT'S how the speedrun is so short already. Nothing like a good speedrun glitch hunt haha. And no problem for me playing! I am honored to play such a fun game!
Yeah! I decided to keep those glitches because they never really broke the game and it was easier to just leave it because it's a game jam haha.
I would love to have an explanation as to how to do them. For anybody interested in doing a speedrun if nothing else.
You know I wouldn't say they're glitches, but just exploiting game mechanics, managing health and good pathing haha. But here's a list of stuff that could help you improve your score
Fun to play ! Simple and direct I like it. I didn't know at first we could keep RMB down to make the trailer longer and kept blowing myself up lol
Also I'm not sure if it's intended or not, but at some point a yellow and white floor (under a train) flashed red and blue.
I loved the visuals, the 3D models are cute. The shooting and movement felt good to use ! Very solid game every where, good job !
Thank you so much for the kind words! I had a tough time trying to communicate to the player that your own bombs hurt yourself, but I'm glad to know that people manage to figure out out.
Because of how we built the floors for the levels, there might be some graphical glitches haha. Thank you for letting me know!
The explosions are super satisfying! Got to play this a little before submissions we're closed so I'm glad I got to play it again.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you had fun with it :>
Super fun and fits the theme perfectly! The 3D setup and animations are really dynamic! Great variation of enemies and tutorialization without interrupting gameplay. I found myself blowing up on accident with the trails in place a lot LOL amazing job!
I'm so happy you had fun playing! I'm glad that the tutorial was okay hahaha.
Really dynamic game that felt pretty whole. My only complaint is that the enemies are still shoot-able after death and I encountered an enemy that could shoot back at me but it didn't take damage. That's just a very slight con to this game having many pros. Good job!
I'm really glad you liked it! Damn we've never come across that issue. Thank you for letting me know!
If it helps, it happened after reviving at one of the earlier checkpoints. No problem!
it feels really smooth to play and the enemy variety is great! i love how you made the bullets angle up/down depending on where you wanted to shoot, it made it feel so natural to play
I was worried it wouldn't connect so it's great to hear you liked the aiming. Thank you for playing!
What a banger ! Very fun & Juicy !
You guys really did a great job on it !
ayyy I'm glad you had fun! :>
That's very juicy!
It's a really great project, just a bit more polishing and it's ready for release on all platforms!
Keep it up!
If possible, please review my project, I would be grateful for an honest review.
Thank you so much! I'll be sure to check yours out soon ;D
I love the Barrel+dynamite trail mechanic.
Thank you so much for playing! :>
