How does your game fit the theme?
My game can be quite hectic, and chaotic. As a result, the game is almost always out of control. The game's key mechanic is to toggle 'control', where time slows down and the player has some advantages.

I love the damage's oversized display. I think controls could be more uncontrollable by penalty like an acceleration time where speeding makes everything hard (for example).

Otherwise, it's a nice little game !

Well this feels oddly familiar

It is quite a nice game! The movement of things feels good and the pixel art is pretty good! I may have thought that the player was a squirrel though...

Yeah, I really liked the genre of Astro so tried doing something similar!

This is a pretty fun game!  The controls and aiming feel good and are pretty intuitive, and the satisfying combat reminded me a lot of Realm of the Mad God.  I was impressed by the number of enemy types and how distinct their behaviors were, so well done there!  My primary complaint would be that the freezing time mechanic feels a bit useless.  Almost every time I used it, I still got hit by the enemies I was trying to avoid.  It would probably feel a lot more satisfying if the player could still move a little quicker during the slow-down.  The other issue I noticed was that the damage numbers (which look really good by the way) tended to be too big and covered up too much of the screen.  Overall though, I had a lot of fun with this game, and I'm impressed that you were able to put it together in such a short time period!

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I feel like I was all over the place with my idea on what I wanted, so I never got to polish the freezing time. I completely agree with you, and think everything except the player should slow down. The damage numbers are HUGE, but that's because I wanted the game to be constantly in a state of chaos, though when time is slowed down, the player is now "in control". I don't think I was able to display that in the game like I had imagined it in my head. Thanks again, I really appreciate your comment! I've definitely learned to try and make my jam games smaller and more polished in the future.
