This is one of my FAVOURITE games of the jam! Absolutely peak! Honestly more fun than some actual games out there.
I love the story, and the artwork is ADORABLE and has so much charm to it! The introduction cutscene gave me a laugh, and I was in awe on how you tied everyone together with it. Every time a new VTuber was shown, I was pleasantly surprised at how they're introduced and tie together. Every time I thought, yup, this is the last boss of the game, but NOPE. When the next level loaded, I was thinking, wow, there's even more! And I was so happy for it!
Levels: Having a tutorial to teach you the ins and outs of the movement and gameplay was nicely implemented. Short and small levels with the spawning enemies, and then moving onto the next room to fight some more paced out the game. With bosses spawning between level changes, having to show a cumulation of the last few mechanics being introduced as a fight was a nice touch. They weren't overly difficult either, despite dying 2-3 times in total to a few bosses.
Controls: It was so smooth. Initially, I didn't use the bomb jumps much. I figured, hey, the enemies were simple and small enough to jump over. But as the levels went on, it turns out bomb jumping was a requirement to get to the taller platforms.
The gunplay too. You balanced out the weapons pretty well. The pistol's piercing helped a lot in the early and mid game, whereas the shotgun and SMG dealt the most DPS once the end-game rolled around. Mobbing with the automatically recharging bombs helped, though I still somewhat panicked a few times and just tossed out bombs in front of me, which just instantly exploded when using the SMG and dealt no damage to enemies far away XD.
Upgrades with Dooby in the train was cute! And it was perfectly enough to max out everything before the final boss fight. I liked the option of having different guns and deciding on which to use as I progressed.
The selection of BGMs matched the levels well. I was jamming as I was facing the waves of enemies.
And the surprise BL at the end XD.
I didn't find a single bug, and it ran without a hitch.
Again, superb work with this game!
