It's a cute little game. I liked the goofy art and story, but what does GBI stand for?? Or did I just miss that lol. I found the game to be really easy, but other people are saying it's too hard? I think this game would benefit slowing the player down and adding more projectiles. Since the player is faster than the ghosts it was simply too easy to just run circles around them and shoot. Even the boss was trivial. I wasn't able to finish the game though, I think I got softlocked at the end, with fixing the portal. At the very least it was unclear what I had to do there. But I did like how it played, felt good to control. Overall a solid entry, especially as your first jam game!

Great game, i like the menus and the story in the start. a story can really elevate a game. my game also has story, but it is hidden in the menus. I’ll try doing what you did next time.

Scrap StellarFun idea! I love a horde shooter and the guns in this one feel pretty good with their different firing methods. The background did hurt my eyes a bit with the speed that I moved. I also noticed that the ghosts spawn on top of me pretty quickly after entering a room which leaves little time for evading them.

Ragdoll RevivalInteresting idea. It was a bit annoying having to click for every shot, didn't want to get carpal tunnel. The player movement was a bit fast, it could probably be slowed down a bit. Also when respawning it would be nice if the dialogue didn't pop up again.
Cool game over all

What did I just run? O_oFun concept and I like the story you've mixed into it. I think reducing the player's speed a bit would help the shooting be a bit more accurate, and it would be cool to see more enemies and variation. But this is a solid foundation!

Phixer & FantomNice game:) Personally I found it a bit fast so wasn't able to complete many levels. Overall good job for a first jam!

Haunted MemoYay a shooter game hehe. I like the movement and bgm, and the hud at the top corner. I think the ground texture could be lower contrast as it is a bit distracting. Adding some pitch shift to the bullet sound would help reduce repetitiveness as well. I was a bit confused by the end controls for fixing the portal. I like the machine gun bullet spam it was fun after I got it hehe. Great work!

The Graveyard ShiftThe game was kind of fun, even if the enemies variety was bit lacking, as all of them followed in a similar way. After I defeated the boss the game froze. The writing was pretty funny though.

Neon City[e]scapeIt was fun to play especially after buying the machine pistol. I liked the virus-infested ghost narrative with the portals, I could not tell you why, but I guess it just resonates with me.
The art was simple but served well enough, one thing that was disrupting to me was that the enemies were kind of hard to see against the checkered floor.
By the way, I got stuck in the portal repair scene with the wrench, I was clicking around, pushing all the keys, but nothing happened, what was I supposed to do there?

AuntedThanks. I really appreciate your feedback. I'm happy that you liked the narrative presented in this game. In the wrench scene you were supposed to click with mouse on red cracks that were appearing in random position. The cracks sometimes don't record clicks, so it's best to click them multiple times in different places.
