In Scrambled Segments, you enter a crumbling simulation to try and stop the corruption at the source. As you dive further, the enemies and environment corrupt, resulting in unpredictable gameplay consequences.

Very cool game, some balance is deserved

Cool game! Had a lot of fun playing it but the difficulty was a bit to high for me. Even with trying to exploit pressing "r" I couldn't get to the 3. boss or what comes after boss 2.

Love the idea of combining weapons and the enemies also randomly combining! Great game over all :D

It's definitely too challenging. I'll be pushing an update after the voting period with balance changes and new guns!

Great game, I had a lot of fun playing it. Would like to see some invulnerability frames after taking damage to prevent taking multiple hits at once. I kept trying to reload using 'r' for some reason, and found out you can skip levels and go straight to the bosses :)

Developer

I was hoping someone wouldnt notice that. I accidentally forgot to remove the R key level skip I made for testing. Glad you had fun! Thanks for playing!

This was immense fun. Loved the game design, art and the music. One small critique i have is the screen shake was a little much for me at times. Other than that, amazing work guys! <3

I agree, I went overboard with the screen shake. Lesson learned 😭

It was fantastic otherwise. ❤️

Apparently I'm not the only one who found it challenging, thank god. Other than that, this is pretty good and after the jam maybe you can add an easy mode or tweak the difficulty so that I can finish the game. One thing that I would have liked is a way to avoid damage somehow or to have cyclic levels so it's not so easy to get cornered.

Outside of the difficulty, it's pretty good and fun despite the challenge.

Will definitely make lots of tweaks after the jam. Thanks for playing!

artwork is good, I like the adaptive soundtrack.

Really wasn't a fan of the guns being super inaccurate, which makes the trees the hardest enemy of all things

Developer

It's true, that is a very unbalanced mechanic in its current state. I basically had no time for play testing and balancing, so it's pretty unsatisfying. Thank you for playing!

This is a very well done game and extremely creative that fits very well with the theme. I like how the theme/mechanic is shown across the game through the gun, enemies and the world. My only gripe is that it can be fairly challenging especially at the beginning or the shooting direction is way too skewed (maybe skill issue). Really great work on this game! 

Developer

I totally agree, if I had just 6 more hours the game might have been 10x more fun haha. Such is life!


Thanks for playing!

This is scary good for 3 days. Such amazing artwork, insane concept with the gun parts, the looping wow wow wow. It felt pretty dam good to play, think I found the camera to move slightly awkward and would have loved some comparison Ui between parts. Such minor picks for what ya team managed to make work in such short time. Bravo <3

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Definitely felt the time constraint. Would have loved to polish more.
