I agree with what most others have said, this idea has potential to grow into something special. Thank god my math studies paid off because there are some angles you can take to minimize risks. Would love to see this idea expanded further!
The game has potential, I think it should add something more because I admit at the beginning I just spammed in all directions before stupidly dying, there is material to develop !
P.S.: If you would like to check out the game I worked on, I would be grateful 🙏 (In your free time of course)🙏

Thank you for your comment! I’ll check your game out!
There is not enough reason to shoot. The first time, like others, I spammed a bunch of projectiles and killed myself. The second time, I just shot 2 times and slowly moved up and down, the enemies did not have time to reach and died
With this mechanic, you can definitely come up with a lot of things and make an interesting game, but first you need to motivate the player to shoot so that he gets some additional reward for it
P.S. The game is not bad, I'm just trying to push you so you can make it more interesting
thank you so much for your comment. You are absolutely right I think adding more motivation to shoot is important.
Hello fellow slime game. My favorite part is the risk/reward of filling the screen with bullets. A health counter would be a good addition to the game, it would make the game feel more intense when you're low on health. This game could be very fun if you choose to work on it further.
Thank you for the comment. I loved your game idea!
Cool concept and has potential with a bit more tweaking.
The character feels juicy, and being slow makes me need to plan ahead
thank you for the comment! I agree there needs some tweaking to make it better. I really enjoyed your game, ended up playing for like 20 minutes
I like the idea! Ended up getting myself in the end.
Always fun seing other person playing with the same idea
Loved your game as well
I should have read the description but I just jumped in, started shooting, and saw what I set myself up for as soon as they wrapped around the screen. Ha! Really funny moment followed by the fear of the consequences of my own decisions. I'm sure if you went full Mark Brown on continuing this game, it would be great if there were similarly consequences for *not* shooting, since that seems to be a strong strategy here. But inside the Jam constraints, this was really fun and the music made it even scarier ahahaha
Thank you very much for your long comment! I agree that I should have made the description a bit more clear, and tweaked the game a bit more. The music was overly intense but I am happy you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed playing your game as well!
