Third game I've played from the Jam. Guardian of the Treasure knows what it is and plays around with a few different concepts to explore the genre of a top down shooter. As far as I could tell, it adheres to the limitations set upon us by the jam, so in that fashion, it certainly succeeded! Although the second theme interpretation seemed to be limited to a joke in the description.
I enjoyed my limited experience with Guardian of the Treasure, even though I was yearning for a slightly more polished experience from time to time. I hope the dev tries to iterate on what's there already as the controls, gameplay and general fluidity of the game are solid and the potential is certainly there.
For a solo dev on their first game jam journey, I couldn't help but relate. It's our first time too and so many unforseen issues can just manifest out of nowhere.
As the game dev said in their game's description: "I hope that in its current form it will give you a little while of fun" and that it certainly did.
