Great so polished game. I didn't realize that petals on Growy Gal's are the player's health :) Would be good to see a hard mode where scissors can cut not only by touching the head but also by the body.
Cute assets, music, and sound! Also surprisingly chill to play. Maybe instead of shrinking when letting go of W, the camera can just follow Patricia as she grows?
Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback!! I was juggling between making her grow infinitely (more like an endless shooter) and having this sort of don't go too high sometimes don't go too low, but never really got to implement the second idea. Should have just stuck with her growin' and growin' but will try to come back to this post jam!
Nice job with this one! Solid entry for a game jam. I think if you were to take this any farther one piece of feedback I would have is to make the scoring system time based (how long can you survive) and the collectibles to be something like sun light or sustenance. The idea being a player can't just sit and avoid objects, they have to collect or they will lose a life from not "feeding". This would provide a nice risk reward system for the game I think (but those are just my thoughts). I really like the game, the sounds, the art, and the way you tied it to the theme. Good job!
Heya thank you so much for playing! I totally agree time based would make it more fun/challenging! I had planned on making different stars spawn at different levels and then needing to get to the sun for energy, water would have been at the bottom but too much of either one would maybe harm you. Ended up spending a lot of (and probably too much) time on the stamina bar/pulling you down if it depletes and ran out of time to flesh out the other ideas. Really appreciate the feedback and I'm excited to take this away for after the jam!
Very comfortable control and cute art style.I like the life value display most.
Great little game. Nice idea with the graphics and the theme. It felt partly like a space shooter but the theming changed it up a lot. Good entry
The way you tied the aesthetic together, the color palette, the music, it all just vibes so well. So cute, loved it!
Nice one! really cute graphics, I also liked the life system! nice job!
