Nice game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the Pixel Weekend Jam #2 games, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This is awesome!  Though the control scheme and ProcGen remind me of Nuclear Throne, the game feels more laid back -- I think the music has something to do with that vibe.  Really impressive how much stuff you got done.  I ended up hitting lvl 30 by playing super cautiously, powering up my sword attack, and making heavy use of cover.

I did notice (I think definitely in the later levels?) that I often had a lot of extra med kits lying around that I didn't need to use.

I wouldn't mind reading/hearing about your dev workflow if you have or are writing about it at some point in the future.

Thanks!! I am very glad you liked the game! Perhaps I will write something about my development process this past weekend, I am happy to hear you have interest in that! I am also impressed by your high score! I havent made it past level 25 yet but I also haven't played too much outside of testing haha. And about the medkits, the amount of medkits that spawn is the current level number you are on, so at level 1 you get 1 medkit, level 30 u get 30 medkits.. haha a bit of last minute revision to hope the game would be accessible.

It started being a somewhat meditative experience after I got into it, so I just kept at it until the enemies overwhelmed me.  :D

I've gone and made the med kits more sparse after reading this. haha

Great job!  I'd be interested in seeing more  and playing again.

Thanks!! Next week I will be making an update, first of all fixing the HTML5 port, and other stuff.

I'm quite impressed, the game is really dynamic, the animation looks great. I think the thing I liked the most was the music, did you make it yourself ?

Developer

Yes I did! I made it on Friday after the jam started, I make everything my self. 😁

I loved it, my only concern is the theme relevance :D but inform me, if you'll continue this project, i'd love to play this in the future with more content ( #NuclearThroneRulz also need a shovel)

Developer

Yeah to be honest i thought the theme was pretty limiting, like how intricate can a game revolving around color be? So I just decided to make very colorful art!

I think is the best from all i have tested so far. Nice work!

Developer
