This is really fun! Very good and clear use of audio. For other games, it's harder to get a sense of where things are, but the fact that this is just left-right makes it super easy to play.

Lunch GambitWow! I'm really glad you got this one in on time to be rated, because it's one of the better submissions!
Works great with my screen reader, the controls are simple and understandable, and the included readme was appreciated.
The sounds are simple but easy to pick up on, and they create a nice atmosphere.
I really like that the gameplay gets more and more challenging as you go so that it doesn't feel too easy.
The shooting element is nerve wracking and exciting, while the endurance meter adds some strategy. The rewards you get at certain checkpoints are a great way to make the game more interesting from one playthrough to another.
Controller support is always appreciated, and so are volume options. So thanks for including those!
I wish that the game also worked with the JAWS Screen Reader, as it's also extremely popular.
In the readme it says A and D to move, but it seems I can't really move backwards.
Even at max endurance, monsters still seem faster than me. Either that, or they have a high range of attack. Maybe that's on purpose, but it would be kind of nice to have just a bit of room to reload my gun as long as I have near full endurance., as we die only in like 3 or 4 hits. I don't think that would be too much of an advantage, especially as it wouldn't last long.
The heartrate loop isn't seamless.
Thank you very much for participating! I really hope you come back again next year too. :) We're glad to have you.
Hi thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you had fun playing the game.

That's definitely a bug, you should be able to move left or right as long as you have endurance. I'll look into it.
Even at max endurance, monsters still seem faster than me.
Yes they are really fast, there is no real balance between the enemy difficulty and the upgrades, is just something I added last minute. So it needs more testing and tweaking to make it more fair but challenging.
Maybe a "speed" upgrade so the player can move faster.
Thank you very much for participating! I really hope you come back again next year too. :) We're glad to have you.
I learned a lot this jam, looking forward for the next one.
