Extremely straightforward concept that JUST WORKS.
One thing I would add though is a more obvious countdown for when the power ends, as it can lead to your death
Genuinely one of the best games I have played from this Jam! The controls were all around good, but some weapons (like the fire demon) would get me killed due to bad luck. Overall though, I love it and would definitely play a full version
Thanks for playing and leaving a comment! I'm glad you liked the game! I agree that some things can be tweaked to avoid bad luck, but my focus was more on creating a fun experience than a balanced one. Thank you for your time :)
The variety of weapons was fantastic, very fun game. Great work!
Really fun game, your powers are incredibly inventive. They all felt super unique and kept me coming back to the game. Really liked the blood splatters on the ground too. Great job!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked the game :)
Fun concept and gameplay!
Suggestion - Touching enemies immediately results in game over, maybe you can try adding something in between so it does not feel sudden (or increase HP) in post-jam version?
Great Job!
The art was pretty good, and I liked the fact that (unlike many other gun games this year) it wasn't just oh you get shotgun, pistol, etc. The fact that each weapon had its own feel and style of using made the game really addicting. The only thing I would change would be to make the character controlled by the keyboard (WASD, but leave the fire demon as is), but that is just personal preference and mouse movement is OK. Nice job, really enjoyed it, keep up the good work. :)
Thank you for your feedback! I preferred leaving it to the mouse as it is more precise and forces the player to keep moving which is part of the game, so it was kind of a design decision, but thanks for your comment i may reconsider later!
Yea that's cool, like I said, it was really just my preference, so whatever you think works best is probably best for the game, good job, I hope mark mentions you.
Great game! Had a lot of fun playing!
This was actually quite fun and enjoyable. All the weapons were very funny and fun to use. It was quite addicting as well. However I felt the hit detection wasn't always up to the mark. And while the self destruct was fun it was a little too easy to end up crashing into enemies. It's a fun little game none the less and you could maybe expand on it with you're own sprites and characters. Good job man :)
Dang your game has a little bit of everything xD It was fun, I kept restarting just to see what new attack I'd get haha.
I just rated your great game! Thank you very much for watching the stream yesterday!
I would appreciate it if you could check out my game too!
Thanks for playing and rating it! Sure I'll check it out
Great game! I love the randomness of the guns, it adds a lot of variety of gameplay! Had lots of fun!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed playing it :)
A fun take on the theme and enjoyable to play :) The variety of different weapons is great and I like the pixel art graphic style. With a bit of visual polish this could be really awesome! Nice job :)
Thanks for your review!
I loved the weapons in the games, everyone is unique and fun to use. I'm waiting for a more polished version.
Very fun game, one of the best timed weapon games. Nice variety with the weapons/powers. Maybe and some invincibility frames after some of the transformations, died too many times. :D
Polish up the graphics a bit and you have a real winner! Good job!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it! I agree, and i think that giving you a small timer where you know when your weapon is gonna disappear or what weapon you're gonna get would have helped a lot
Interesting weapon change mechanic, and some cool looking NES-style graphics!
Quite the deal!
A really fun and enjoyable game. I can't believe it was made in 48hours! Keep up with the good work!!
Really cool game! The weapon variety is insane, great job!
Really cool game! There is creativity and good execution in each weapon!
I played the game just like you asked me to and I have absolutely no regrets! I really enjoyed playing this game! I really enjoyed messing around with all the random weapons that you were able to get! What I personally really like about this game is the fact that the weapons are so different from each other and yet they are all very effective and fun to use! A lot of games usually have weapons like pistols, shotguns, swords, bows, hammers. While this game has a huge snake, a fire demon, self destruction, a green shell, thunderbolts, etc. I personally think that's what makes this game stand out from other ones and I absolutely love that! Great job! ;D
Andy-R , like your video and the way you think about the games you played. I'd love to see what you think of my micro game.

Your game is super fun! I love all of the weapons like the green shell. All of the weapons feel unique and special. I enjoy the arena combat of the game, it makes everything close quarters and super intense. I also appreciate you showing where enemies will spawn, that makes the entire game far better in my opinion.
If you wanted to continue to build, some sort of health system would be nice. The one hit kill seems kind of brutal. Maybe you could experiment with levels with a set type of enemy. Between levels the player could spend some score on new weapons. You could have the traditional progression tree or a random weapon giver.
This game is fun already and has tons of potential. I can't wait to see what you do with it in the future. Best of luck on the jam and with your future game dev projects!
