Movement was an absolute delight; it felt clean and good to move the characters. I love how simple the take on the theme was but you executed it very well! Sound effects had that "crunch" to them and the music choice was fitting, as IcyPenguin said this would be so cool as a co-op game.

There was one slight issue where I accidentally tapped the space button right after the round ended and didn't see the instructions - luckily the gameplay was simple enough that I was able to figure it out quickly. 

Oh, and right when the round was about to start an error popped up and the game ended there, not sure what might have caused it.


The little things aside though, I think you have something great! The paper aesthetics fit really well and you did some really good work on this. Goodluck for the rest of the jam!

Thanks for the feedback!

Love the design. The game has some replayability, which is great, as you can try to reach higher levels

Submitted

Pretty design and fun idea, love it

This would be so much fun as a co-op game. As it is now, it's still really fun and I like it a lot! I love that the music loop is 15 seconds long to fit with the timer.

Fun concept  I was planning on making a simular game like that at first its great to see how my idea could had turned  . Great job

Very fun idea, great art style and gameplay! Good job! Rushed the poor guy on Round 2, then could not react to myself fast enough on Round 3... :D

Love this game! This feels like a fully completed game and it's got potential to go viral. The notebook style background is spot on also lol!

Submitted

Good concept!

Submitted

Haha I love this! Great way to make you think about next moves and stuff. Movement is also very fluid! Maybe add a delay the first few times when switching characters, definitely missed the explanation my first time as red

Submitted

Definitely spammed as many bullets as I could before realizing what was going on :P

I like how there's an element of planning where to move to and how to shoot, to make it easier for yourself!

Great game and great execution. Feels a little bit sluggish, but to be expected for a game jam. I also had a fatal error at one point, but over all good.

Submitted

I love this! I love how you can do much much better by planning and making it easier for your future self! Really unique idea!

Submitted

I really like that you start as defender, as to prevent us from spamming too many bullets right off the bat...

Submitted

Spectacularly balanced. Felt new and unique every time.

I laughed a lot with this game after playing it for the first time when I realized that your previous play is saved, I literally started screaming when I saw the million bullets coming out of the attacker

Great style! Once you have a lot of bullets bouncing around when you are defending, boy that is stressful lol. Pretty fun game and I could see it being developed into a great local coop party game.

Nice controls. Love the countdown at the start and the colour switching. Accidentally skipped the tutorial window both times BUT still figured out the gist. Well done!

Developer

Thanks!
