Fun to play but I found out that clicking mouse button without moving at all was enough  for winning. Overall a easy short fun game to play. Well done

Developer

I agree with you, there is a lot more fine tuning that needs to happen in order to get the game to feel like you're playing against a human. This is the most complicated piece of AI ive ever created lmao, so I'm just learning, stuff will get better in the future.


Thanks for you playin :D i appreciate it

Really cool presentation(in the gameboy screen) and sprite art!  Good job with the topic and fun ideas.  Good job submitting a unique game! Pls check out mine if you have time.

Developer

Already have and it is great :D

Developer

Thanks for playin :D

Not sure what bugs were the intentional part haha, well, neat idea and I haven't seen a fighting game like this in the jam yet so good creativity! The shooting is done with the mouse so there's no reason why the gun shouldn't be aimed with the mouse too rather than follow your controls. More feedback elements will take this game from solid to epic (particles, shake, etc).

Developer

There are spiders crawling around in the scene (intentional bugs) and then there are plenty of intentional bugs if you turn on the machine and play it for a minute or two. The enemy is buggy as well, that one not so intentional but is fitting


Thanks for playing :D and great feedback, that is very much appreciated!

The enemy kept respawning even if i didnt shoot a bullet??

Developer(+1)

lmao rip, yeah the enemy keeps a certain discttance from the players so he will just move away from you instantly out of spawning which is no beuno, need to fix that up.


Thanks for playin :D

The game is looking good, how ever I prefer a bigger screen for the game; I also encountered a bug witch I found so funny (He was standing there and doing nothing): 

Developer

lmfao this is amazing! I've never seen that before :0 I dont even wanna fix that bug its too good. Who wins in this situation?

Submitted(+1)

No one, but I assume it as a rest position (maybe pause), cuz the game is so action active :)

Developer

lmao love it, thanks for playin :D

Submitted(+1)

Nicely done! I have to admit, it took  me a while to understand that I had to press a button to start haha

Developer(+1)

check out my game. tell me what you think about it.

Developer

Well thank you kind sir, I will most definitely check out yo game :D

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game! I liked how you implemented the enemy, it was actually funny to fight him. The turn on TV button took some time to find, and I didn't understand how the game fit the topic.

Me and my friends submission: https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552908

Developer

Ayee thanks for the feedback bruh, I appreciate your point of view Thanks for playin, I'll check out yo game later tonight :D

Submitted(+1)

I clicked the link, the game finished loading and then nothing happened. I waited there for sometime and then I thought it might be because of my browser plugin blocking something from loading. After sometime I just randomly thought to click that RED button in the middle. And well, that was an experience, a funny one 😂.

Now about the game itself, I didn't know what was going on. am I the red dude or the blue dude? does does getting hit gives you points? or is that the other dude's points? Is this multiplayer or am I playing against an AI? Why is there a dude stick out from something on the right side?

But with all these questions in my mind, something about this game made it a really fun experience, I just wanted to keep moving and shooting even though I didn't know what was going on 😅. Overall it's a well made and polished game for a game jam, Good Job, I really enjoyed playing it😄.

Developer(+1)

Oh my goodness! First off let me just say you are like the first person I've seen to leave a rly constructive comment :D so thank you for that, you've given me a real glimpse into how your Psyche interacts with the game, and that's rly valuable for a game developer.

The game is so damn buggy and small and held together by coding "duct tape", that little guy in the corner by the sign is me and when you hover over him he tells you to turn on the WonderBoy but I screwed up the canvas somehow so it doesnt work, oh well. 

The whole time I was making the game I had a thought in my head that the on button didnt look obvious enough, idk if I just ran out of time or just pushed it to the side on purpose but yeah I was meaning to make the on button more prominent (hence the sign lol with  me next to it)

Overall I was going for much more of an aesthetic than a real fun game. And I'm very proud of myself for it :D I did all the art coding etc by myself which I usually dont do, I'll usually have my girlfriend do my art and I do the rest but this was all me! except for the music, that's an old song my buddy made that I tweaked slightly to put in this game.

Thanks so much for playing :D and thanks for you honest feedback its much appreciated <3 

have a great rest of your day!
