Incredibly fun game with great art, music and addictive gameplay loop, great game!

This art for this was amazing and it was very well polished, but there were some aspects of the gameplay that kinda irritated me. Giving the enemies a charge move is a cool way to increase the threat, but it also made it so they could overrun you, and you don't really have the movement tech to be able to contend with that. Maybe add a shortrange dash? It seems that the I-frames are tied to per enemy rather than on the player, so a bunch of them can mob you all at once and you lose most of your health. This ties in with the biggest problem, which is the massive difficulty spike when the golden deliciouses start showing up at 2 minutes. I get that they're bigger and tougher, but why are they so fast and spawn so frequently? You need to have one of the better wands at like +10 and the cool boots or broken trigger to stand a chance against these guys, and being able to do so is dependent on how close the chests spawn. Maybe make it so the chests heal you a bit so that you don't have to spend one of your precious upgrades on a heal? I finally got to see the nuke after seeing the reticule and getting tackled immediately twice, and then when I finally got to see it I realized too late that it didn't clear the board and I was supposed to be still dodging enemies amidst blinding white light and massive screen shake, so then I immediately died. There is a lot to recommend for this game, but with the balancing and the difficulty and the cheapness of the nuke, I ultimately had a bit of a bad experience with it. Still good job despite that, and I feel this could be a lot of fun with just a few small adjustments.

To be honest in my game it's way too easy to become OP, so i'm making a post jam version balancing everything and giving a good use for the nuke. Thanks for the comment 👍

First of all, very cute little apple as a cursor! I can't pass the Big Golden Apples, but it was very fun anyway.


Very nice idea and concept, well done!

Submitted

Nice game, really difficult in a good way. Maybe you should boost exp gain, and reduce the timer so it's more in the theme 

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! Yeah i'm going to make a post-jam version with everything balanced and more content hopefully :)

Submitted

Very well made game, at first I thought it will be to easy with dark want, and the big apple jumped out of nowhere :D

Developer

Thank you for playing !

This is definitely the most polished game I've seen so far in this game jam! However, I still think you should rebalance the enemy spawn rate and also reduce the countdown to 30 seconds or so. Awesome game!

Developer

Thanks ! Yeah i'm going to make a post-jam version hopefully :)

Downright addictive, if admitedly the bloodbag breaks the entire game. i'd recommend having the nuke do however much damage it currently does + X% of health so people just don't become immortal.
I know this because I am "Bld Bag Broken" and that was my second attempt after my first went too immortal to die kek

Developer

Yeah its really easy to become OP in this game, also the nuke always inta-kills (its like 9999 damage). Thanks for playing !

Submitted(+1)

I can assure you it did a pixel of health by the time I was finished collecting blood bags lol

Developer

i need to nerf blood bags asap :/

Pretty Solid game, I feel like the timer is really long for the nuke. Over All had fun destroying for a few minutes!

Developer

Yeah me too, thanks for playing !
