- Would have benefitted from better weapon SFX and a level cap but great job overall!
How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Your fire power and damage can grow to absurd amounts. Also, some UI is 'broken'. All UI elements can be shot at, which improves related value (hp/item/score/etc.).
Did you work in a team? If so, link their itch profiles.

Did you include a fake publisher splash screen at the start of your game?
Did you use the Audius API in your game?
If AI was used in your game, let us know how you used it.
This game has enemies with AI, pretty simple 'walk towards player' xD
Okay, i know what you meant, was not used.

Chill game! Played live in Jamlytics- like the artstyle but do think big int would have made it a better experience.
Definitely the most chaos game I have played ever xD Really love the art in the game and the idea of shooting the UI is super creative and brilliant at the same time! At first I was like hmm this is a bit hard for me and then after realizing I can spam the fire rate upgrades, I was like oh well lets see how much more chaos I can create with this... I really had a fun time playing this and thats another 10/10 from me. Great work! :D
Thank you very much!
Really loved the way it felt like I found an exploit, and the exponential growth from it, only difficulty was seeing my cursor, but other than that really well done!
Love the idea to shoot the UI. Great connection to the theme. This is a super clever twist on a pretty deeply-explored genre, so hats off for making it feel fresh and fun. As some other players have pointed out, it seems easy to break the game. Within the first minute or so I hit a point where the game started to crawl. I think a bit more of fudging with the numbers and you'd have something really cool on your hands!
Yeah, you can hit a slow-mo bug for now, unfortunatelly. Try restarting it and be careful with increasing Xp :)
Haha, great.
I completely agree with what @Pimeine said. Fun idea, complete chaos :D
Good job getting #1st place!
That was a fun experience!
The progression felt a bit useless once we reach negative numbers, it break the whole experience and make us oneshot everything at infinite fire rate. And when the required exp to level up went to 0 I was just spammed with buff selection and slowmotion :( (That's perfect for a chaos ending but it was also frustrating)
Having damage affecting stats, that was a really smart idea, good job.
Big shout out for the leaderboard! I love leaderboard XD (I usually do them in my game, it's fun). But negative entry on the leaderboard xD It feel so weird, I feel we're a lot with negative score entry lol
By watching the leaderboar it seem i'm the negative score the closest to positive number XD
Yeah, sorry about the slowmo bug, sometimes happens, found about it after submissions closed :(
Leaderboards are definatelly weird in this one :)
I think the leaderboard is perfect because of your bug it's a 2 in one, each extremity define a top
Btw, nope, it seems that there is no other negative entries, you are officially at the bottom of the leaderboard for now :)
there were a lot of small (<10 points) entries, from the testing times, removed those
Hey that's not possible! Some one did less than me earlier, or maybe he updated his score again and now I'm the top least XD
I loved this! Genuinely one of the most fun I've played in a while!
Glad you liked it!
Are you 'Aj' in the leaderboard?
Yep that's me
Haha very funny game. I was playing it straight up for a little while then realized the glitch. Very amusing implementation. Got the slow mo bug so didn't finish, but enjoyed nonetheless.
The cover art was really nice looking, by the way. It could've been integrated better into the actual game but the character art itself is great.
Thanks!
Definatelly try again later, this bug is not always there, i guess only if you are too strong :)
What do you mean by 'cover art'? Game logo or game menu? And when you talking about character art that could've been integrated better, are you talking about how it is tricky to control sometimes?
I meant the game characters as they appear on the main menu and such. Like the main character. And the enemies. They look good by themself but by integrated better I just mean they look really flat with the background. So that could be an improvement point for the next time is making the art with the camera view of the game in mind.
The end boss is the slo-mo. I had fun making the numbers go down.
Great art, and good little game with a fun twist!
Thanks, yeah, slow-mo can be broken at times, but spotted it too late. Thankfully doesn't happen every time
amazing game! It took me one death to learn the ins and outs of the game. Like it says you can shoot at naything to increase its value (sorry Im bad at reading instructions). Clearly the increase fire rate is the way to go. I got such a high fire rate I think I broke the space time continuum (the numbers were flip flopping positive and negative due to number overflow and flipping the negative bit). I love the concept and its very addictive! Amazing art and music.
Thanks, yeah, i could limit some numbers (and i did for example for movement speed, because it makes the game unplayable if you move from corner to corner at a speed of light) bit i figured that number overflow is fun :)
btw, i thought about naming this game 'U and I' :)
definatelly will check out your game. Games that play with UI are cool!
Great minds think alike ;)
Awesome! addictive! unique!
Seen you in leaderbord, good job, seems like you almost broke the game. Next time aim for the speed of fire upgrade (literally aim at it)
Hey, I am joining another jam and one of the requirement is leaderboard. would you mind sharing what service you used for that?
Hi, just the usual Unity services one. It's free and works. But I built the UI myself. Unity just has API for calls like "AddNewScore, GetTop10Players, etc." So it's not like production ready, you will need to setup it yourself, like sending, loading, displaying results in ui. Good luck!
Thank you!
I really enjoy this style of game, and you managed to introduce the jam theme in a very different, fun, and innovative way!
The art is beautiful, and the music fits perfectly.
As a suggestion, it would be cool to have a hit animation or effect for the main character. I found it a bit difficult when the bigger monsters appear in large quantities, but it was funny.
I also liked the score ranking.
Yeah, lost hp definatelly need some indication. But if you play your cards(upgrades) right, you don't really need to worry about health after a few minutes :)
(check out game screenshots)
Very good, almost crashed my web browser
I take that as a complement :)
Probably should disable enemy-to-enemy collisions, but too late
This was fantastic, what a cool twist on this type of shooter.
quite fun and interesting concept
i think it's quite hard to shoot if the target is near for some reason, but the game is good
cool game, i like the idea, the upgrades are cool!
By far the funnest game I've rated so far. Love the concept and the overall feel of the game is great. Good job twin o7
This was so much fun, Skylar gave me no choice to play it and try and beat her score. Looks like I flew too close to the sun lol. What a fun game, love that risk of going to hard in a run. Felt so good to play
Thanks for playing :)
Yeah, scores can break sometimes, from overflow.
wonder how hard it would be to quickly swap the score out for a larger integer? You could possibly use "BigInteger" as a little bug fix while ya can.
Are you the one at the bottom of the leaderboard or is there someone that did even less xD?
hahahaha, if I could scroll I'd let ya know :3
Awsome game, I loved that you could heal yourself by shooting the hp bar XD Wish the monsters did not come out so fast, got pretty overwhelming pretty quickly and was not able to do enough damage.
Thanks! Little hint: you can shoot not only the health bar :)
Try increasing shooting speed, and the enemies will be easy.
I will check the difficulty some more
Lol I worked out the strats XD
