I may not be the greatest at using my mind to figure out the best path, so I found Xeonjia rather difficult — those pointy rocks are really quite taxing on HP! Other than that, the game is absolutely charming!

Maybe the LD theme was not the best, but this game turned out really neat! And hey, I can decode whatever I want, you won’t stop me! LOL

And it shares a lot of the codebase too

The decorations and the whole setting are so vibrant and high in contrast, I love it. The game communicates the idea that rotting away means turning into other forms of life, and it does so really well. Looks like it takes awesome inspiration from Hotline Miami.

Shiny graphics and catchy audio, cool and relatable^ characters, solid level design. The aiming by taking tiny steps back for more precise movement is really fun, shooting the enemies feels rewarding, and the reloading is really pleasing.

The enemies themselves are both smart and dumb enough for game jam game enemies, and I’m sure you’re already planning to make them more interesting in further versions.

But! I found the current walking controls a total nightmare, confusing and frustrating, and an option to remap the keys would certainly make life easier for some players.

Also I encountered a weird glitch with the text notes: the background of the area where the text should be was sort of transparent and glitched out, so the text on them was mostly unreadable. macOS Ventura, Intel CPU. That’s what I get for not switching to Linux, I guess.

Overall, thank you for this amazing piece of art, really looking forward to playing further versions of the game.

^by “relatable” I mean just as rotten as myself

Same! I ended up using <D> with my left hand for stepping with the right foot in the left direction, and <Left> with my right hand for stepping with the left foot in the right direction.
