A fun shooter and an interesting concept! I really liked the animation of the puzzle pieces. 

When playing, I noticed that enemies sometimes spawned in walls and couldn't get out, but it's not hard to fix.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't rate this because I can't get this to load. Sounded like it would be fun.

Lately I have had the same problems. Maybe you can fix this by changing the browser.

Wow this game was a lot of fun. Really original too. I loved how it got harder by the simple fact you got bigger. Loved the musix and the simplistic art. I didn’t know what you should do at the start so maybe you could add something like that in. I neither didn’t know what the blue thing was. But I found it’s use later on.

Good AI, it reminded me of this retro game I used to play as a kid, where you had to choose the right move to collect jewels while avoiding enemies getting closer and closer

Really awesome job with this. Loved the animation of the puzzle piece walking. The game is super unique both in concept and overall design.

The game is super fun !!

You should add some kind of tutorial screen when the game starts.

Definitely fits really well with the theme. Sometimes on their final health the enemies can be a little hard to see but it was really fun to run around dodging the red pieces and searching for the blue! Well done

Fun take on a twin-stick shooter! Felt really cool to get more powerful as I joined with other pieces.

I agree on the map thing, or maybe zoom out the camera a bit. Good idea with your character getting bigger and easier to hit as you progress the game. Nice job!

Great concept. Missed some things like a minimap or or some indicator on where to go next, really easy to get lost. But the animations and the concept is great!

Developer

That's a good idea. I never realized that it could be difficult to find the right way, because I obviously knew where the right way was.

Submitted

Yeah, same with our game, it's hard to do a good playtesting in just 48h!

The concept with jigsaw puzzles is what comes to mind when I first saw the theme of the jam. I am glad someone made something with the puzzle pieces.

I would've loved a map for the levels though. It's nearly impossible to navigate because of the zombie crowd and makes it a bit hard.

Congrats on finishing on time. Good job!
