Nice game, please add more features.

Really original concept. I like the idea of maintaining the soldiers' health and ammo and calling for back-up. Found it a little bit easy. Maybe more enemies should be included, or maybe limit the supplies of medkits and ammo so you have to use them sparingly. Graphics are nice and very atmospheric.

Yeah, I just finished it! Nice idea and interesting gameplay. I think it will more fun if there are more enemies and more lanes. ^_^

You've got an interesting concept here! Adding some more mechanics and tuning the current ones would go a long way!

This is a pretty neat idea, with some more mechanics added this could get hectic and really fun to manage.

We sadly didn't get to beat the game :( Though it looks like there's a bug where you can't move after restarting, we had to close and open the entire game. Cool idea tho, but definitely very hard near the end.

Can confirm there is a bug after death in the game and you have to reopen the game to fix.... fml so broken hahaha

Felt a bit easy. Would love more mechanics to spice things up a little. Could be a great game with more elements to juggle. Well Done!

Had a few more mechanics in there, including a cool one that dropped a bomb on your heads every so often and youd have to take cover to stay alive... sadly as a recurring theme in my jams I bit off more then I could chew as a solo developer and had to rip all that unffinished stuff out hahaha. Cheers for feedback, maybe I should fix it up alittle after the jam 🤔

I tried so hard, and I got pretty far, but in the end they all died anyway. 

Could use some tweaking but I like the idea, and the art looks pretty good.

World War 1 started in 1914 so it's a bit curious that this is set in 1913 :-P

It's a nice little experience. It feels like the mechanics could do with a bit of tweaking because I ended up just hitting the buttons on cooldown so there weren't many decisions to be made. Still, really nice pixel graphics and sound effects and a novel idea for the 'Surprise' theme.

Omg cant believe I got the dates wrong hahaha cheers for the heads up :)

You finished a game in time as a solo developer which is admirable.

It is a bit hard for me and the heal/ammo delay can be lower maybe. Other than that It is good.

Well done mate.

Like others have said, the difficulty here is high, although for a solo developer you did a great job considering the time.

Unique concept! Seems pretty hard, wasn't able to beat it.

First to beat it kinda hard would have to be a true god to finish this.
