That is a cool idea and use of the concept. I liked how cinematic you made it :D

That was wacky! I love that you all embraced the silly idea so wholeheartedly. This was a fun play. I love that Sarge just doesn't wear a shirt.

Shot In The DarkFun game with some nice mechanics. Great job in adding in a story as well.
I think it would have been nice to have some way to heal the player (couldn't make it past the two larger birds) and perhaps change the weapon type as well.
Awesome job overall!

Unlimited PowerThe story driven style in this top down shooter was really nice. The intro was nice and had some funny lines in it.
I liked the overall voxel art style though i have to say that the particular ground texture and some of the explosion effects were a bit hard on the eyes. i feel that something simpler would allow for more contrast with the birds for example making it easier to spot, but that might just be me. Maybe some effects when the birds die would add a lot to the overall feel of the game too.
I really liked how the dodge felt and running around shooting was prety fun! Godd job on that! Keep it up!

Deus Ex MachinaThanks for the comment! Yeah, the graphics suffered a little bit because no member of the team had experience with that part of the process. Most of the things are slightly modified free resources that I took the time to touch up so they kind of matched, and time caught up with us. Glad the gameplay and the story was fun! that's what most of the time went to in the end
Nice intro, I find the bird part quite easy but the bosses are impossible, replayed it 4 times and never got one down. The voxel art is nice, music and sound are a bit repetitive although fitting, and I miss a cursor that stands against the ground, because sometimes I don't know where I'm shooting. Anyway, a good entry. Good job!

A Little Bird Told MeThanks for the comment! The idea is that you should stay somewhere above half health after the birds phase, that way the legendaries shouldn't be too hard to kill. They do keep you on your toes tho. To be honest we didn't think of a cursor on the ground, that's a good improvement for the next version after the jam is done.
Cool game that reminded me of playing Call of Duty Dead Ops Arcade!

Shop Till You DropA really neat top-down shooter style game with a really cool cutscene at the beginning. I really felt the story there.
