Did you use any existing assets? If so, list them below.
The gun and bunny character, you can find them free from Kenny Assets. Asides from the bunny character, everything else is by me. Art, code, and all. As for the music, sound effects and menu music are by me. The other music during gameplay are from https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ (see the game description for more info) NOTE: I realized we can't edit this jam during the voting period, so I've reset everything to a previous version of the game. If you want the latest version, look down with the files. There should be music and a lot more fixes there.

Last man standing shooter at an arena. The game is simple but fun. The enemies are not too hard to kill, except for the boss on the final level, which is just ridiculous. For some reason there was no sound and music on Mac and Firefox.

Developer

I didn't add the music in because I didn't have time by the end of the deadline, and completely forgot about it ;-;
Though now that the voting deadline ended, I've added in music and other stuff based on feedback I got during this jam, so feel free to try the game again for a new experience if you wish. I may adjust the last boss's hp though and update the enemy patterns a bit.

Thanks a lot for playing the game! I appreciate the feedback :)

Great job! i managed to beat the last level with all the characters, Layla was my favorite.

Developer

I definitely made Layla OP lol, she's my favorite as well! Congrats on getting to the end :D

Great customization options! A neat submission and hope you further work on it.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
I plan on updating it after the jam closes. Thanks a lot for playing!

Nice submission. I like the customization part.
I lack some music and SFX here.
Also cool player controller.

Developer

Yeah, the lack of music and sound is really killing me rn 😅 I shouldn't have spend too much time on the code and art. That aside, I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

This game is honestly super impressive! The fact you have a level select and several characters as well as a flag customizer is amazing! Also the game feels great to play! I would like to see a little more visual feedback when hitting an enemy-- like maybe particles or a flashing sprite when they get hit. Great job on your game!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Also thanks a lot for the feedback! Damage indicators have been added in v1.0.07 (available in downloads, until the jam ends). Here's a preview, let me know if this is a good way to indicate damage or if you have any other suggestions:

Pretty cool game, I really like that you can make your own flag in game. Awesome idea. I played it on my youtube and gave my reaction while playing if you want you can check it out here. I enjoyed it. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing my game! I appreciate all the feedback. You should've tried out the other characters, they're pretty fun.

The points you've mentioned regarding the music/ sounds, and having a visual indicator for when the enemy gets hit— I updated these along with a few other changes based on other feedback I got from everyone, you can download the updated version on the game's page if you'd like to check it out (v1.0.07). I made these updates after the deadline closed, so I didn't want to update the main game after the deadline to keep it fair ;-; that's why it's a separate file... it sure makes a HUGE difference though!

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)

Submitted(+1)

Yeah I bet that is a huge different for sure, I will give it a try later. Nice work

Wow nice work, you managed to do a lot before the deadline! I loved the flag painting. The shooting mechanics felt good too. The system of unlocking levels and characters gave me a reason to keep playing. Great job!

Developer

Thanks! It definitely wasn't easy, I'm glad you enjoyed the game though!

Submitted(+1)

So at first, i was like I'm only going to play a level or two... but then i saw i was about to unlock a character. then i found out the characters have different attacks. That was awesome. I think you did a great job.

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to trap you into the game until the end lol

Hello, Firefox lover here! The game did run slowly but it wasn't unplayable, and I won't hold my choice of browser against it!

Layla's definitely the strongest, I think! I also like how Kenny can use the recoil of their gun to move around the area quicker. Yasameen... well, I feel like he didn't do enough damage to justify the accuracy of attacks. But that might be in part that he's unlocked right before the giant boss.

Developer

Oh sweet! The difference in browser performances is a common issue most of the games I publish have, I'm glad to hear this one was at least playable in Firefox!

And I agree, Yasameen feels a bit too weak. Her attack speed is quicker and accuracy is higher, however, the firerate is lower than other characters and definitely the least damage. I added her in the game last, so I didn't do enough testing with Yasameen. Thanks a lot for the feedback though! I just adjusted Yasameen's stats, if you could try her again and lemme know what you think I'd appreciate it!

(Well, you know, we're not supposed to be updating our games at all during the review period, unless it's a game breaking thing... I'm not so sure that counts but, to be safe, I'd be happy to try the changed version next week. :) )

Developer(+1)

I see, I just asked in the discord and I got an answer saying we can, but feel free to try it next week to be safe. Thanks!

Submitted

Ah, that's good to know then!

Submitted

Much, much stronger now! I cleared the final level no problem at all. (So, maybe a bit OP...)

I like the detail to get your own flag and defend it , really original and nice game ! Nice work ! 

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun. I enjoyed every bullet that I sent to greet the enemies. You did a lot of work in only a week. GG. Looks great, plays great, and I get to make my own flag. 

Developer

Thanks! I'm very glad that you enjoyed it :)

This was so fun! Being able to make your own flag was such a nice touch (although,  I would have liked an erase button). The graphics look really good. Yasameen felt a little slow and weak compared to Layla, but the tiny lamp for the carpet was cute! I also loved the lollipop swing of Layla, she's adorable. If you are able to add sound/music, it will definitely add a nice touch to it. Great job!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it! I was planning on creating music, but the track I made didn't fit the game at all lmao

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate it! I'll try to account for these in the next update

Nice! Really liked that you can make your own flag
