This game was so fun to play and really well executed! I love the animation that plays when an enemy is destroyed, it was very satisfying. :-) 

The music is good as well as the sound effects. 

I love the classic 8bit art style and colour scheme (reminded me of my youth), and it was executed well.

I wasn't sure how it linked to two worlds, but I enjoyed the game so much I didn't really care.

Great job on this game with the time frame we were given, very talented,  you should be proud.

I think this game is great. I could have done with the players/enemies moving a little faster which would have added some extra difficulty, but that is a very minor point. Overall I think this is a very style-aware and high effort submission. You should definitely feel good about the final product!

Developer

Thank you for the review!

What a cool game ! Reminds me a lot Enter the Gungeon or other game in that genre, which is great. By the way, is the dungeon randomly generated ? 

I had a lot of fun playing your game, but i didn't manage to beat the boss, his melee attacks are too op to me.

That's a great work ! :)

Thank you for your kind words! And yes, this game was heavily inspired by top-down shooter classics like Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, Soulknight,... 

Yep, the dungeon is randomly generated. I found this video on YouTube that explains a simple proc-gen algorithm and Huy implemented it. Later I also tried this to make the rooms feel more random, but ultimately we decided to scratch it because we didn't have time to generate a decent map.

And yea, we also feel like the game would need a lot more balancing. I guess play-test by 2 people wasn't enough, since we are the devs and we know exactly how the boss works so XD But again, that you so much for trying our little game!

I wanted to go through all the rooms in order to collect everything before the boss, but ended up stuck in the initial room (. It was cool, but I never made it through the boss.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game, I am so sorry that you got stuck because of a bug. Could you please describe the exact situation for us. We would love to deploy a patch asap, so that everybody can enjoy the game.

I returned to the starting room and, when I tried to go in the opposite direction, went through the door, but the next room did not appear

I may have pin-pointed the bug and deploy a fix, thank you for your help <3

Wow! This is a really well made game, I feel like the shotgun could use a faster reload speed.

Developer(+1)

True! It need a little bit more balancing. Thank you for trying our game.

Fun game. I really liked this one. I guess the only thing I would suggest would be some sort of health indicator for the boss cake, since I can't tell if I'm really damaging it.

Really cool game, I like the game concept, the art, the music, everything is really polished

Ha Ha! Funny story: In earlier iteration, we made the chickens so that It a bunch of them can gang up on the player and he could not even move XD.

Its pretty good, but the controls are rly confusing and make it hard to play the game. The keys moving and the mouse point to shoot is too much to process at one time. Also, the music is really piercing. Game gets boring after a while. Didn't rly have a cake or touch on the theme too heavily. Feedback aside though, this game was really cool, and its nice to see dope games like this in the submissions! Keep up the good work broski

Developer

I really appreciate your honest feedback. Thank you for trying our game.

Great game, I really loved the visual style and the music choice fits perfectly.

Bonus points for procedural maps!

Developer

Thank you for enjoying our game <3 You could follow Khoa to enjoy more of his visual style. We would love to expand more with the procedural map generation.

Very good, I think the cake should have a bit more impact but overall it's a very good entry!

It was really fun! I couldn't initially tell that there was two worlds until a second look but fantastic game otherwise! Loved the cake being the boss. Well polished!

this is the most complete game i've seen so far, it could be on a game website or steam and i wouldn't bat an eye
