Congrats on completing the jam! I didn't manage to get too far but I may just not be cut out for this kinda game.
I think you used the assets really well to make a game that flt cohesive. The music worked well with the "revenge" setting of the story (Cotton-tail :( ) and the usage of planes.
Some comments:
- I thought that "armored" target were the card on the road but it turns out it's actually tanks. So that was a little surprising.
- I feel like the hit boxes for the balloons is a little small. There's a few times where I aimed for the balloon but was a little short and hit the basket instead and then died. Would be nice if it felt a little bit more fair
- Every time i started a level I zoomed out as far as possible. I felt like by default we are too zoomed in to see where to go.
- It would be nice if the damage indicator for the planes and other multi-hit items was more obvious - I was confused why they didn't explode with a single hit and if I hit them at all.
- I think that if gamepad is the default then the UI should also be able to be navigable with the gamepad.
- It would also be nice if the regular ammo shooting distance was a little longer. I felt like i would shoot, somehow miss and then immediately die because i ran into them.
- Since the player can't really move the plane horizontally on screen I think it would be nice if the plane was positioned near the left instead of center. It gives more opportunity for the player to plan their next move and also not suddenly run into enemies or obstacles.
- Once I knew about how to control the plane it felt good. The stall mechanic is a nice touch.
Great job!
