Did you work in a team?
Only I worked on the game, It was a really fun experience but got a little stressed at the end.

Was the resolution a challenge?
The biggest problem was making the text readable on screen, it didn't really impact me in any other form really.

What did you learn?
I've definitely learned a lot, and became a lot better with Godot. I also learned that I should go for guality over quantity, especially in a gamejam lol.

I think the game could use some clearer menu icons and transitions from menu to game to game-over and so on. As well as walking animations. These are pretty minor compared to the fact that you have a fun core concept to build on. The physics and controls feel nice to run around with as well.

I got wrecked by some green guy who could fly around in the bottom of a pit, also.

I agree just a little more polish otherwise very fun game. :) I got all the guns, auto shotgun knocks you back so far I was afraid to use it near those platforms in case I fell off ^^

you can also just kinda fly with the auto shotgun, you can basically skip all of the platforming in the last level.

Oh I actually tried that but I guess I was doing it wrong ^^ I was just shooting down? do you have to alternate down/left?

needs more polish on the physics side, but overall a nice experience

see that space theme I understood that I could jump high. But the jump time was too short. and the movement is slow When shot, the slower it moved. good graphic.

I feel like a lot of effort was put in the game, the weapons, recoil and slowdown when you get are nice touches. I do feel the player acceleration was a bit slow, it made platforming a bit difficult, especially at the last level. The way the bullets are fired from the enemies before seeing them is a little hard to react against, it might help if they start shooting when you are in their field of view. Overall, a game with great potential.

Nice tunes and sprites! Felt a little floaty but overall nice job!

Cool game! I really like the sprite work, but wish they were a bit more animated. Game physics are less than ideal, very floaty and slippery. Good job overall!

Pretty good level design and the gameplay is challenging but definitely rewarding to finally master. Although fighting enemies would definitely feel more fair if enemies couldn't shoot you while off-screen. Great job

Good bosses and strategies to follow. Would have loved a bit more work on the gfx side, some elements are hard to read (first boss is hard to spot but for the green glass in the helmet) and some issues with overlapping elemens (like actual funds while in the store). Nicely done but with some room to improve!

Submitted(+1)

Boss battles were challenging and difficult to master (Nice!)
Progressing through the game required buying new weapons thus harnessing that mechanic (Great!)

Music and graphics were interesting.
The text could be better if a little bit sharper and clearer.
Maybe this devblog for setting up Godot for such low resolutions can help?

The size of the download was astonishing.
Maybe some assets could be made smaller.
Compressing music/images into a different format?

Developer(+1)

This was the first time I used more than a few assets for my game so that's why I didn't think to compress any assets, there's also a bunch of leftover assets too that I forgot to take out, thanks for the kind words tho!

Game was fun. The different weapons are cool. Character feels a little slippery when running around. Sound and art were good.

Fiddly but fun to play! Great soundtrack.

It took a very long time to load for some reason. Otherwise, everything is good. The graphics are nice, however there should be a few more sound effects in my opinion. and the text was a little difficult to read, but overall it was pretty cool.

Really love the style of the characters! It was funny moving almost as fast as the bullets :P text readability was definitely an issue, maybe you tried too put too much on the screen. Wish there was more audio feedback, but the music was cool!

I like the style and option for buying different guns before going to a level. Could see this being quite fun. It would have been nice to have some sound effects to give a bit more feedback to the user.

It also took quite a while to load, although it might just be that my internet is slow!
