  • Solid survivorlike with pleasing aesthetic and soundtrack. Would have been nice if the recycling bin was a black hole you could kite enemies into. Has potential to be further expanded into a complete game and released on Itch or Steam.

Wow this game was super fun and super clever - everything is suitable for a computer setting, and also the concept of the upgrades being files that are saved on the desktop and destroying these files removes the upgrade TT.  This makes the player have to strategise on which enemies to destroy

I also liked the music, and how it changed depending on the player health. The sound effects were also super satisfying, the player shooting and steps etc. I did think the step sound could be slightly lowered though, as to not overpower the more important sounds.

The art and visuals were also cool, the purple blue theme felt cheery. The sprites felt exactly as it would if you were navigating on desktop. I did notice that the shadows were drawn in on the sprites, making them slightly more transparent could look better (im just being picky, your game was great)

This is a really polished and solid entry to the jam, so Gg!

Feels like player progression is slow and enemies end up overwhelming pretty fast. Also was confused if I was supposed to shoot the dropped upgrade files or not and wasted time with that. Also I feel like the play damage upgrade did nothing. But other than that the art is great and is a fun littol romp.

Our game also took some inspiration from vampire guys but in a very different direction 😅

Woah, really cool what you guys managed to achieve in such a short period of time, 10/10 loved it!

Submitted

Pretty cool and fun game, very well polished. The enemies AI could've use some improvements, and also upgrades not repeating itself would be nice as well. 


Overall, it is a pretty well done game, pretty well made and polished, has very good potential for a full version.

Submitted

I love how you can interact with the pc!

I don't know if I was too weak, it would be cool if shooting a file too much destroys the upgrade (because I sometimes got an upgrade I didn't like and stood there to shoot it 20+ times xD )

Very fun game, congrats on the submission! :)

Submitted

the upgrades appearing and taking friendly fire was a fun spin on this kind of game, nice job! the graphics and sound were all really cute!

I made a small fort with my upgrades, shooting enemies one by one as they were entering a small hole i left there. Best feeling ever

Incredible aesthetic! Great feel and sound design.

Submitted

Nice game! Art and music were on spot and it was really fun to play. I was defeated pretty quickly  because there were just too many enemys for me to handle, maybe crank that down a notch.

Submitted

This game is so sick, well done!

Submitted

Really cool twist on a survivor-like, with a great connection to the theme. The art style is nice and readable, and the little touches (like shooting the audio window speeds up the music) were really fun to discover. I agree with some of the other players that the core loop maybe needs to be a bit faster, but our game submission struggles with this too. Nice work!

Submitted

very cool game, the art looks amazing and everything is very polished!
