This has one of the most original concepts I've seen in this gamejam, and i would love to see more done with it!

thank you very much for this comment ♥️ I'll probably try to update with some quality of life stuff like checkpoints, volume slider, in game menu and some new weapons. Sorry about I'm not at home and I can play your game back  before the end 😔

Love the concept.  When I heard the theme, one of the things I thought of was using a tank and shooting backwards in GTA to gain incredible amount of speed, but I wasn't sure how you could make that into a game, and here, you did just that.

I think it might've helped for players to acclimate to the unusual controls by introducing them one at a time.  There's a lot going on at first, and while following the text on the ground is very helpful, I foolishly messed with the controls before even realizing A went straight, so I was just bumbling around in the corner for a while.  And like some others said below, checkpoints would be nice.

Ehi, thanks for the feedback :D yeah, for the unusual controls i definely agree. In hindsight, i'd change the 1rst level to make it only with the berserk and chainsaw, blocking the others weapons and make you familiarize with those. and also definely a checkpoint system ahahah.

Cheers. :)

Cool concept, but the background makes it a bit hard to look at.

Thanks for your feedback 😊 sorry about that. I'm not an artist and i tried to do the first thing that to me resembled of alien ground. I'll try something different in case I continue it

This is a real neat concept! Kiting with the berserk sword and shotgun definitely seems like the way to go for most enemies, but all the movement options were useful in their own right. I found myself wishing for some checkpoints, since it was a bit tedious having to redo the beginning over and over. But with that said, I still had a blast playing!

Thank you very much for your feedback :D yeah, this is my first jam and i definely negleted some stuff, like the checkpoints, the volume toggle/slider and the difficulty curve of the last 2 levels. i apologize for that and i'm glad you still liked it :D

Very cool idea having the weapon selection tied to the movement abilities and attack patterns!
It took me a while to memorize which weapon leads to the desired movement, but after figuring it out it was quite enjoyable.

another game with cool concept. It was too hard at first and took quite some time to figure out how to properly fight

Ehi thanks for your feedback :) if you wanna try another run, I'd suggest you to try a run without fighting, just escaping :) it changes a bit the gameplay ahahah
