Nicely done.

Only issue I had was that the listed gamepad controls didn’t seem to work correctly.
I could not select any menu entries with my xbox controller, navigation worked fine.

Thanks! I'll look into the gamepad controls, they definitely should be working. I must not have hooked up the button focus quite right. I probably missed it in one spot and that's why it's broken. Thanks for catching that!

Great job! It took me a while to figure out how to counter the enemies, but it's fun when you get the hang of it :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I probably could have done a better job explaining the whole system. And starting with less enemies would probably make it easier to get the hang of the rock-paper-scissors aspect.

I liked it! The fact that I can decide to leave a level at any moment allows me to weigh up if I want to fight what's on screen which adds to the gameplay quite a bit

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! I was hoping the ability to leave whenever you wanted would add some extra tactics to the game so I'm glad that came across well.

At first it was kinda complicated but when i get a hang of the game it was quiet fun. More interesting than fun tho. Its a very original take. of course there are things that coulb be different or better like graphics for me . but in general its a nice entry

Developer

Thanks for playing! Definitely a few systems to juggle and I didn't get a chance to make a tutorial so that certainly doesn't help.

Very nice game! Took me a little bit to get the hang of, but I enjoyed the random levels and trying to figure out the best way to deal with the creatures one by one, or if the available food/health would even be worth the risk. The difficulty is definitely a little bit harsh, I think if the player could also attack diagonally like the parasites can, it may be a lot easier to get that first strike in. Still had fun playing it though, managed to get to day 9 with a couple tries. Also great work on the silly mode, the music really caught me off guard. Nice one! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the core idea, I definitely would agree the difficulty is a bit much. I think I need to fix the diagonal attacks and then maybe curve out enemy spawns a bit better so there aren't so many right off the bat. Glad you liked the silly mode too, I had a lot of fun picking out a track for that.

I survived 4 days! This was an interested concept but I found the movement a little awkward and it seemed like I was getting attacked diagonally? I was also thrown off by the medkit sound apparently being the same as the injury sound.

The story and setting were neat, though, and I liked a lot of art, gave it a very NES/GB vibe. The silly mode was a fun touch, too.

Nice job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The medkit sound is one of the first things on my list to fix for a post-jam update. By the time I noticed that, I had so little time left I didn't get a chance to fix it. The diagonal attack wasn't originally intended so that is something I'm going to have to take a crack at as well. There is probably a really simple solution to it, just needed more time to think on how I wanted the AI to work. I'm glad you liked the silly mode, definitely had fun throwing that together.

Cool idea.

"You survived 0 days."

I guess I'm bad at rochambo tactics games.

Maybe needs an easier onboarding.

Developer

Your probably right on that! I didn't have nearly enough time to test the game's balance. I probably made the enemies deal a little too much damage by default or I should have increased the starting health. I'll probably do a post-jam update to play around with the numbers a bit more.

Cool little survival game, I don't think I'm particularly good at it though

Developer

Thanks for playing! It probably is a little tougher than it should be. I didn't have much time to test the balance and I had to cut a couple of ideas that might have helped like upgrading attacks, etc.
