I know this jam ist not about art or sound but this so great! I love your style!
However, it's simple, the concept is very well executed and overall polished. But most of all it's fun to play and has this moment "ok, one last try" and then you still playing it half an hour later :D
This is so polished! I love all the details in your art, the paniced pea run, the sword swish, the sweat when you are getting hurt. It is a really nice take on the one inventory item.
You copied our idea :D Or did we copy yours? :D
Anyway, I really like the graphics and animations. The music and sound is also very nice and the variaty of weapons. The controls are ok, but you are overwhelmed by enemies way too fast.
There are just too many enemies and too less weapons.
Your game also feels a little laggy, but a lot of people mentioned that already.
I would be honored if you check out our game, because we went for the same idea ;)
Thank you for the feedback!
Enemy spawn rates have been since tweaked in the post-jam version of the game - their spawn rates start out low enough so that you can get your bearing, but hopefully not so long that it becomes boring while you wait for more enemies! Performance has also been improved:) I hope you try out the new version when it comes out!
So fun to try out al the different items. Great art too. You can only use them one time is truly on point with the theme.
Absolutely love the pixel art. Really love the depth of the game and strategy at play as well. Placing certain tools in certain positions so that they can be acquired after you lure most enemies with an 8-ball. Really love the mechanics at play.
Hope you expand on this. Would love to have an exe to play offline
However.....if I may make a suggestion, could you make a range indicator or something for the chemical? It's a little hard to tell where it will land
Thank you so much for the feedback! I have been tweaking the game over the past couple of days, and I did actually make an aiming crosshair for the potions, but turned it off last minute when my licence expired because I wasn't satisfied with it yet:( Sorry about that, but thankfully an .exe is on the way!
I think my favourite item is the gravity ball. It would be great to have more synergy with items.
Great game, a little bit laggy some times.
Thank you for the feedback! I've added a new tool in the post-jam version of the game that has a decent synergy with the bow
I was trying to avoid a health bar so that the UI would be more minimal, bu perhaps I could have made it even more clear that your health is ticking up with like some sounds or a red flash or something!
Really ran into a gem of a game. I was very impressed and very addicting game. I'm going right back to playing it. BIG FAN!
Fantastic take on "only one weapon"! All weapons feel very distinct, even though the explosion is probably a bit too powerful - especially in combination with the magnet field! The art direction is stellar - with charming pixelart and very fitting (mouth made) sounds. Enjoyed it quite a bit, sadly it starts lagging if too many enemies are present, which makes achieving high scores a chore. :(

This is my favorite game of this game jam so far! Like the gameplay and sound effects a lot!
Played the game, and not disappointed at all in terms of the mechanics. You are forced to think about reaching for a particular weapon that you want to use. Creative thinking also comes into play here. I love both the cherry (the pink bomb that kills a bunch of enemies) and the ball that attracts enemies, combine them together and you get lots of points. I also love how you are given a chance if an enemy is close to you so that you can escape before you die. Sometimes there are situations where if there are a bunch of enemies, you are just outright stuck, that happened to me several times.
Real tight with just the right amount of juice. Comboing different weapons together feels great.
Neat little concept and a lot of fun.
Does run a bit laggy on my comp when enough entities spawn though.
Still... there's good synergy with the weapons and it otherwise plays great!
this is fantastic! even ignoring the great presentation, the game is rock solid and surprisingly deep given you only had the 2 days for it. i love how the items feel and how they work together in interesting ways, and the whole thing just has a good flow to it. my only complaint is that i'd like to see the difficulty increase more quickly - i didn't realize it was changing at all until i had been playing for about five minutes. wonderful job, this deserves to be at the top!!
