How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
We thought of typical programming mistakes that might happen and thought of how they could be a fun feature.
In this case:
1. the knifes fly backwards
2. when there is a powerup to increase the knifes' size, it is off-center, forcing the player to take those into account.
3. Our boss enemy doesn't die on impact, instead it multiplies. The only way to beat the game is to exceed the maximum amount of enmies that can spawn. A Mechanic, that also works before the boss appears.

Very fun i liked that the shooting was inverted had me scrambling a bunch of times and i kept dying but other than me sucking at the game everything is very well done
This was fun, well done!
The ending was surprising and cool, though it could have been a bit more climactic, and the parallax on the background is disorienting, but overall there's a lot of charm here.
Thank you so much! We didn't have enough time for a more elaborate ending, but we might add it in the future! As well as fixing the background. It was the first time our programmer did something like this. He is very determined to create a better version!
The artwork and theming for this game is wonderful! My only real gripe was the aiming of the cursor made the camera wave around a lot (though I do have jittery hands) so it made me really dizzy. The mechanic of shooting behind yourself is a fun challenge!
The Artwork is definitely thanky to our Lead Artist Anniboo, I love the mixture of cute and scary. If you like those styles, checking out https://frescogames.itch.io/ might be worth it. She worked on those games too.
And no worries, the camera thing really isn't optimal yet. Will probably get fixed in the futre!
Love it, silly, the animations bring me joy and the mechanic is fanky. Good job!!!!
The art style is great and the backwards shooting was surprisingly fun. Felt oddly more satisfying shooting that well and landing hits because of having to think more about how you're aiming and such.
I am so glad to hear that! Wer were hoping that would be the effect of our "Error"
Great theme integration and cozy artstyle!
Our artist Anniboo is especially good in creating scary/cute Artstyles. If you like those kind of games, she also worked on the games from https://frescogames.itch.io/ .
Might be worth checking out^^
I start playing the game without reding the descriptions, and when i start firing the knife I thought it was faulty LOL, but the game and theme was perfect.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
