Lovely retro styled ‘pinger’! Love that you propel your bullet like a slingshot! Great SFX and clear visuals, although I had some minor issues with the hitbox of the bullet. Overall very well polished scoreboard style game!

Thank you so much! The hitbox was definitely something that came up near the end of the development, we weren't sure how big to make it so it ended up how it is now. In the future it'd definitely be worth tuning the hitboxes of both the player and the enemies to make them a little more sensible and intuitive. Regardless, thanks!
Thanks, great to hear you like those aspects. The difficulty of the game has been a bit of a contentious point in development, and because the jam is only for three days we didn't get way too long to be able to balance it properly. Its current difficulty is certainly hard, and we were shooting for a substantial challenge, but I think it's more than likely it's too difficult right now rather than just a good challenge. Thanks for the feedback!
My favorite game of this jam. Loved everything about it!!

Monsters of the Blood MoonThis is one of those games that proves simple geometry is not only for placeholders - the effects, lighting and general feel of the game is insanely well done! The effect when dying is sooo cool! I struggled a fair bit in the beginning with understanding how to control the bullet, but as soon as I got the hang of it I had a ton of fun. I realised my score was not even close to getting on the leaderboard... but I will definitely come back to this later for a new try!

Escaping AtlantisThank you so much! We're really glad you like the visuals of the game, they're a little... unique in comparison to other similar games, but hearing that they actually look good is awesome to hear. Clarity in controls is definitely a major thing for us to improve on, we'll definitely make that a top priority in the future. And that's great to hear that you're planning on coming back, the leaderboard is definitely a tight one, and I hope you get your name on there! Thanks again for playing!
Hey there, I'm guessing you were trying the web version. That one can take a fair while to start up, speaking from bad internet experience, so if you want to try it out it might be worth leaving the tab focused for a little.
I just saw your other comment about access being denied, can relate on that front. Unfortunately we can't really do much about that because it's an internet restriction thing that we don't have any control over, but the downloadable version would most likely work. On the leaderboard front, though, I'm unsure if it's blocked or not, that one's still up in the air.
I'm glad you like what you've seen, though, I hope it ends up working!
Huh, that is confusing. Perhaps you could try downloading this game and other games in the game jam using the itch.io app. It streamlines the download process for you, and I'd recommend it for all itch desktop games!
10/10, great concept, gameplay, visuals, audio.. firing on all cylinders guys!
