Visuals are great but the controls really took away from the experience.    The gameplay is alright outside of the reload taking a really long time compared to how fast enemies spawn.  This plus the controls made it a lot less enjoyable then I think it should of been.

Hey thanks for playing, what’s wrong with the controls and what would you have preferred? I’m a console gamer so trying to get a good idea of what is best for pc games. Thanks again

Hard to say exactly since every game is unique.  Generally space would be the first extra key normally used for jumping.  Though with these web games I've also noticed some issues with that cause of webpage scroll so keep an eye out for that.  I think enter is definitely a no-go when used in conjunction with J since you have to shift your hand to use it.  

Ideally you want the same sort of feel on the keyboard as you would a controller with minimal hand movement.  Imagine if you were holding a ps or xbox controller but you had to stretch out your pinky to push one of the buttons.

For a comparison this is another game from this jam https://zander-games.itch.io/av it had a lot of buttons(was + space + jkl) but the way they used them it never felt awkward in any situation.

Thanks for the help! Great feedback

currently my favorite game of the jam ! Cool retro feeling, retro music and very nice art !

Cool game! Classic, satisfying gameplay and graphics and sound were great as well. The controls kind of glitched on me right at the beginning, but were fine after the main game started. Overall great job!

Really great game! This was probably my favorite so far.  Wish the reload wasnt 'Enter' tho.

This games pretty cool, I like how fun the gameplay is and that the graphics are amazing.

Wow! Loved the character fall animation (how the jacket flips up). Very addictive gameplay.

Slight glitches in the graphics (lines showing around each sprite), but other than that the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is fun. The controls felt a little weird mapped out on the keyboard though.

Thanks for playing, what would be an ideal control scheme for you?

Submitted

This was loads of fun! The sounds were great, the music was also great. The art animation was amazing and the spider robots are… annoying. But the game is amazing. Great work!

The design of the sprite and the movement is super satisfying. I do wish I could aim directly above my head however.

A very cool game, I was surprised that it was also made on ClickTeam! Привет Денис :D
