Pretty simple and cool game! It also has a lot of potential, I think just a bit of polishing and this could make an even better game, great job!
This is a well-rounded game and maybe one of my favorites in the jam. The controls feel nice, the weapons all feel nice and have great sounds. The music is simple but effective and gives the game a cool vibe. I love the bass coming in when there's danger. Like others mentioned, there's great story and art direction in this. I think the main screenshot for your game doing the art a disservice. Overall this is a really solid submission and I had a lot of fun with it :)
Cool game. Maxed everything. Those agents didn't stand a chance
Fun little game! I like how you tied the theme into the story instead of just making the enemies masks or something. I always like when there is a reason for how the theme is used. I love that there are hints and tidbits of story and quests there, very fun! I hope you check out my game: Unveil. I don't have a ghost as cute as yours but I do have tidbits of a story in there :)
Thank you so much for playing and appreciating the details :) I will be sure to check out your game!!
Fun little game, really liked playing around in endless mode! Silly dialogue with the NPCS as well. Great job!
Thank you for playing Polly !
Like the art/style. Theme is great. The only thing I would say(it tripped me up a couple times) is the auto pop shops can hinder you while shooting at agents.
Overall nicely done!
Yeah I did notice that when my friends playtested it right before the deadline, unfortunately ran out of time to fix it :(
Very cool idea to make it about the Day of the Dead! I really loved the mix of story/quests and shooting, I do wish the guns felt a little "chunky-er" to shoot though, if that makes sense, feels like they needed a little bit of extra impact when you use them. I really like the art style you went for too!
Thank you for the feedback! Will keep that in mind for my next shooty shoot game :D
Very simple and nice game.
I maxed out the weapon, and the quest system was amazing.
Very good work
Also, play our game: Spectral Mask, we have a very cute ghost
Thank you! Will make sure to check out your game :)
Nice game! it reminded me of the time I went to Toluca (work related trip) and the streets were crowded with candy shops and masks keychains (puestos de calle de dulces y llaveritos). Cool game, a lot of art, and attention to detail, the shops, the characters and weapons, the dialogs... some people just grab 10 tiles and make a puzzle platformer for these jams, but you took the effort to go the extra mile and make different variations so that every level feels a unique location. Excelent job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game. It was my fiancee's first time making pixel art and she blew it out of the park!! I'll let her know your feedback :)
