Did you learn anything new during the jam?
Making small, fun, simple games is a good thing to practice as a solo dev.

Aren't you awesome for creating a game?

This is really impressive for a day's work! I asked my mother and my cat, and they both said NO. So unfortunately I was just left to tech demo it. I fortunately figured out if I can press an input on the keyboard, it would suicide them for being afk, so I could at least explore the mechanics instead of auto winning within seconds. I'd be interested in seeing how balanced this feels with 3-4 players - I thought that maybe reducing the starting shorts to 5 from 10 could be interesting as it makes the player think about whether they would want to try and kill enemies, or try and just avoid them to preserve more ammo to try kill the opposition. It would also make ammo drops more lucrative! Thanks for taking part in the jam! and I did laugh at the "Is that you, Honest Dan" in the win screen :o

Haha I am glad you had fun even alone. :'D Yea recently i've learned about Parsec so I decided to make this my first real Parsec game. And it's been very much fun playing online using that service!!! You could do it too. Just host the game in the arcade!

Yep, sorry guys. It's meant as multiplayer (pvp) only. It's basically couch multiplay, so if you own a gamepad you can entice your mother or your cat to playtest it with you. :D

General

Alright sadly like the other people I am not able to play the game properly since I do not own a gamepad. So this is based on what I could do / see.

I am also impressed what you were able to make in 8 hours quiet impressive if you ask me!

Gameplay

Like mentioned before I sadly couldn’t test this :(

Theme

No feedback here, I sadly do not know Roikku / LakeDead. However now I am intrigued to look it up! ;D

Art

The art looks lovely. Simple but effective!

UI/UX

Something I wanted to point out is that your start screen looks a bit jammed together (pun intended ;)) You have a lot of colors and things to look at (might be part of your tribute) but if you would haved used a smaller set of colors maybe 1 or 2 colors my eyes wouldn’t be all over the place.

Bug?

Like wormius I had this strange restart loop everytime I was trying to play with my keyboard but it might have to do with the fact it was made for gamepads

Shame i couldn't play this game. I tried with a controller (generic one) and keys and mouse.

The game started after a while but after a few seconds it says round over.  I don't have Parsec installed anymore.  Sorry :(

Just starts and ends rounds repetedly. I guess if there are less then 2 players the round is over.

So I can't play it. Also, I don't have a gamepad.
