im not exaggerating when i say this, this is THE best game ive played in the juniper dev game jam.
first off, im not sure if this is intentional, but the game (especially the music, ill talk about that later) feels much like ultrakill? but anyway, getting into music:
oh boy, the music in this game are absolute BANGERS, again as i said, the amen break motif combined with shooting creatures from hell makes it feel like im in ultrakill (but 2d), if this is intentional, you cooked. if its not, you still cooked.
you did tutorial in a really unique way, and it definitely worked.
the voice acting is very good, i assume you voice this yourself? but it fits the tutorial guy character perfectly, also while were on the topic of character, the way your character walk is just funny lol.
now getting into the nitpicking territory:
- the leave button in the shop not having sfx at all
- the wave ui at the middle top of your screen can block your character, this also happens with your bullets deck
- reloading bullets not automatic (though i can see why as different items do different things)
- having to spin to avoid blood bullets (i know, the theme of the jam, but if its actively hurting the overall gameplay of the game, itd be better if you switch it with something else (maybe spinning the gun increases bullet speed or something)
oh and also 1 thing to note: i died while fighting hell spider (he had 1/4 of his health) because of skill issue, so if i miss anything or if theres already something in the game that cancels out the nitpicks, then my bad.
i played this game for 1 HOUR, it definitely did the job of getting you hooked from your first impression.
