I was terrible at this game but It has lot of value. I tried but if could get better used to the controls would enjoyed it further. Great job!

very fun game, interesting take on the theme and i love it! maybe a bit of a more in depth tutorial could have made it easier to understand, i felt a bit lost at the beginning, but game jam so understandable :)
if you have time, id really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on my game (https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3780834) - its my first game jam and im looking to get better!
This game mechanic is very cool. I like frying the enemies with a large loop. I think having something to assist aiming would be nice. Also, if the control is not reversed when upside down, it would be amazing.
It's so satisfying when you shots connect in a way that lights up the entire stage. I think the itch page design is cutting off the health meter though. The music and sounds are pretty cool, but I think they only work if you hit the settings menu first? Either way, I had a blast.
Wow the main mechanics is very creative indeed! The movement is also very unorthodox but the jump is very satisfying. It kinda broke my brains a little bit when you're on a ceiling and your control is inverted though. But I had a lot of fun trying to go to random spots on the map to try and just shoots random beams haha.
Very creative game! The controls were a little strange some time, especially when I would teleport to the ceiling and have my left/right reversed. Unfortunately, my optimal strategy turned out to be sitting in a good position and spamming the shoot button. With a little more baking, this could be a really really fun arcade game!
Very cool design and unique attack mechanic; nice sfx on the loop closing. I feel it would be more enjoyable if you could somehow predict the trajectory of the projectile since I feel a little too much randomness. Good job overall!
really cool idea, i like the art direction a lot. the rope mechanic fealt a bit random to use, i ended up spamming it, could be worth doing something like a direction arrow, or a faded line showing the first few bounces or something to make it a little more clear where its going to go? Great work though, super fun :D
idk if its hard or im just bad at it lol but i really like the concept and gameplay
the ricochet idea is fantastic! really fun game, difficult but satisfying when you catch a bunch of enemies in one attack.
I had a lot of fun playing this game! It was especially fun whenever I was able to make a loop to kill a lot of the bugs at once! Keep up the good work!
