Did you work in a team?
Just me!
Was the resolution a challenge?
It was quite tough limiting all the details down to a 64x64 resolution, especially for more wordy stuff like descriptions for the upgrades
What did you learn?
This was my first lowrezjam and it was really fun working around this constraint to produce a viable game

cool game, i played for quite a long time. upgrades are nice, and the gameplay is enjoyable.
Challenging and fun! I like the shield mechanism and the upgrades! I wish there was a bit more feedback when you’re on your last HP – I tend to get taken aback when I die because I don’t realize I don’t have any hearts left in the heat of the action. Great entry!
That's a good suggestion! Thanks for trying it out!
I loved this, there is a lot of depth and diferent strategys you could go for survival, my best record is 2:07 for now but i may comeback to this one. I would like it more if you would just get the exp and if the yellow ball wasnt so hard to see.
Fun game, I like this genre! Great work for 2 weeks, considering there are many upgrades in the game.
Super cool. Feels good and you were able to work a lot into just having a shield. Looks good at the resolution while maintaining good readability and good FOV. A lot of fun to play.
Similar mechanics to “Vampire Survivors”. I am not a big fan of rotated low resolution sprites, readability suffers just so much… still the game plays well but I would have loved a bit more enemy desing and flocking/wave design. It’s fun to play though. The dash indicator looked like a direction finder to me at the beginning until I got it was the marker that dash was ready… a bit confusing ;)
Good job globally with the entry and good potential for something interesting.
Thanks for feedback! The game is definitely inspired by Vampire Survivors, I have always wanted to try that game formula out in a game jam.
Lots of good ideas in this game, like the simple graphics without any details, dashing into the enemies with a shield is my favorite.
Had fun playing it.
Awesome game design! It gets really challenging but always remains fun. Love the upgrades and that you actually have to physically collect the experience points. Graphically it feels a bit glitchy but looks great nonetheless. Bravo!
