the chicken toy was definitely a funny idea. outside of what was mostly said regarding pathing, i noticed youd get the map blocking your vision substantially at certain parts of the bottom of the maze, and the purple point felt a bit hard to guess what it was, like 10% of the time theyd spawn enemies, but outside of that it didnt seemed to do anything, like unsure if it was win requirements or points or spawns.

I managed to win on my second try. The enemies didn't get stuck for me they where almost always right behind me (Well maybe they got stuck in the corners but I was already far enough not to see them at those spots). And the chicken gun XD.

Valley Of DespairLOL - not a lot to say after that experience, I don't know what I am feeling from playing this....
This can be improved a lot, but I say start with what others have said and that is enemy navigation.
I did manage to find the end, but only after reading a comment here that it was at the top.
Good job for a first game jam, keep learning and improving!

Arcane AmnesiaWinner winner chicken uh thrower. Fun game with some problems: Gun has no effect for me. The wizard stuff sometimes seems to collide with the player. The enemies get stuck pretty fast. On my second attempt I just ran through the maze asap, you might want to add some "barriers".
The game reminds me of tower defense games a bit. Good first game for a jam!

BringMeTheWaterHaving watched some people play it, it seems it's a common browser optimisation problem, Chrome fragments resource intensive operations sadly, I think I went overboard on the amount of enemies spawned and should have done more testing
Firefox seems to not have as much of a problem but now I know to check the other browsers next time!
Thanks for playing and for good feedback! The gun totally sucks and the wall collision hitbox is too big I agree haha!
Again, loved the hell out of your game. It's my favourite of the 18 I've played!
The weapons are really silly and fun to play with. The enemies need to move faster and get stuck on a lot of the terrain so I would say look into pathfinding methods a little bit. Other than that it ran fine on web and didn't encounter any bugs good job

TomomancerInteresting "infinite shooter". Not sure if there is an end but I couldn't find it.
The path navigation of the enemy was terrible. They were getting stuck on every wall.
