I like it - it is nicely done and fun to play. Sometimes the projectiles hit you even if they are some way away from the character and it takes a bit of time to reset when you die. Hope you continue!

Nice work - a game that, unlike a lot in the jam because of the theme, you can build up some flow in and really get into (until the level with the green turret that I just found impossible). But nice idea and mechanics until then

Very cute.  I struggled to get past the level with the red top left, blue bottom, green top right.  Those guys don't play.  I really enjoyed the level with the spinning barrier.  After a few tries going around, I just jumped at it and let it spin me around.  haha.

For a game jam this is nice, can easily see this as a more full-fledged game 


But I am one to complain, and so i do have some criticisms. My biggest one is in the level with the first green turret, Im taking 2 hits of damage for no reason whatsoever. Maybe Im just blind or maybe its a bug, idk.


Still, good job

Hi Miriah! Cool game you've got here! If this is one of the first games you have made I'm really impresed! I'm nothing close to a developer nor even a decent one, but if you never need help I'm here!

Thank you a lot! I played your submission, and I definitely have to disagree :) It was really fun to play and pretty soothing especially with the music. Also, I would gladly appreciate help on my learning journey and dream of becoming an indie game developer. I put my discord in the description of my game (but prepare to get hoarded with questions cause I have no idea what Im doing). Thanks a lot in advance!!

Very suitable for this Game Jam, very good job!

Developer

Thank you! Halfway through the jam I started to question how well my idea fit the theme, so hearing that you liked it is really relieving.

Excellent work on your first game!  I do want to say that I think I may have encountered a bug that stopped me from progressing.  When I came to the green enemy, I just could not pass the level, and I kept getting tossed around and dying randomly.  If I had to guess, I think the green enemys projectiles were invisible, as it was the only one not shooting.  I dont know if that was intentional or not, but it stopped me from progressing.  Great work though!

Developer

Thanks!! Yeah, I realized (thanks to my cousin who played it) that the layer in order of the projectile was 0, not 1. Im sad, cuz all the bugs turned out to be very simple fixes.
