Thank you! Glad u enjoyed :D

Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed! And yeah ngl I did too cause i didn't realize we had added enemy shooting when i was testing lool XD

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

It's primarily story driven with a mini game between each level! That being said it is left very open to interpretation of the player, tell us what you think it is about! We'd love to know what you think and please give any suggestions for future updates :D

Keep an eye out for future updates! We want to make the mini game more exciting and add some other ones, as well as expand on the levels and story!

I'll check it out when I am free in the next little bit

Yeah I definitely died too many times just trying to test the game lool. Thanks for playing and stickin it out

i agree with the bullets. I actually didnt even realize for a minute or two during level three that they were shooting hahah. We'll probably change that. I'm hoping to be able to add a few more mechs to make it more intresting too in a future update :D

Thanks for playing!

We left it pretty up to the player to interpret the story how they see fit! We thought leaving it so open to let everyone share how they viewed it would be very neat, so that could certainly be a possibility :D
Thanks for playing!

Ours is a story focused game with a lil mini gamee.

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! We actually had the idea to have a bunch of different mini games! We ended up going with 1 mini game and taking away from it to fit the theme, but we want to add an arcade mode and will likely have some more variety :D

Super smooth gameplay and I really like the level design with the mechanics! The arts is nice and clean and vry cute!

I enjoyed it very much!

Thank you! We were really trying to get all the characters personalities through while not making it a slog to read everything so I'm glad we succeeded! :D

A few things we didn't get in was we wanted to have an Arcade option after you clear it, if you just wanted to play the mini game, as well as some audio, like footsteps and all the level background ambiences. As well as a little credits cutscene at the end. But we are planning on updating it with all that once voting ends!

Also thinking about making it into a full (Though still short) game! With a lot more mechs for the mini game to make it more interesting, some interactables around the world for extra lore, and new areas and cutscenes to explore!

Is so cuuute. I rlly like the idea of these puzzles, good way to disguise a math game heh 

It a cute lil game. My only issues with it are also the movement, it's pretty slidey and not super quick, and sometimes the enemies just jump you once you get in the room with no time to dodge. Aside from that I like it a lot!

Neat idea! Took a little bit to figure out how exactly it worked but once we figured it out it was good!

I had an issue where the sprite would just disappear a few times after dashing, maybe colliding with a wall? I also could not find the bomb button for the life of me. I tried B but it didn't work so i hit just about everything else on my keyboard lol. I like the movement though, its nice and smooth. 

Neat game, very impressive for solo! I like the ideas and how you used the theme. Don't really have any complaints for what it is. Would be neat to see it expanded on!

Looking forward to seeing what mechanics you will add later!

The ghost is cute! You could probably scale back the enemies a bit cause they kinda overwhelm u pretty quick, or maybe zoom the camera out a bit more  so that you can see them coming cause they are pretty quick.

Super neat! I love the ideas and the different gun combinations. The tiny dino looking enemies r cute :>

Thanks! Yeah we didn't really have time to do anything with it like give it its own charge attack, it's more so there for the sake of having a melee right now lol.  But we'll keep working on the game after voting closes so if you have any ideas for it let us know!

I like the enemies only shoot when you shoot idea, makes me think of super hot vr. I don't really have any complaints (Other than how the heck do you kill the shield guy XD) . I think it could be really neat with more mechanics added for a little more diversity, lots of cool time based mechs or the like.

I like the concept a lot. The attacks were a little slow and post attack it took a while to recover and start moving again so I just kept turning into a punching bag for all the ghosts (BUT it could just be because I am trying these on my laptop!) Could definitely see this turning into something neat!

I love the vibe of the game, art and audio are both very nice. I like the gameplay too just a few things. I feel like there is a little bit too much recoil, after like 5 shots you can't see the thing you are shooting anymore (Assuming ur stationary anyways XD). If you guys are planning on working on this some more maybe some different weapon choices that have different levels of recoil? I would say the current one definitely feels like slower shot, but strong shotgun burst type of thing. Aside from that the buggy camera but you already know that lol. I was a little confused on the dash but I could just be smol brain. Does it pick a random direction to move in? Or does it dash towards the cursor kind of thing? I just found myself dashing into things as opposed to away a lot haha.

I like the idea! The coins to upgrade for later runs are nice too, it gives the game a lot more replayability. Sometimes your guys will run out of the bounds and kill something though and you can't pick up the drops but aside from that solid start! :D

thank yoou! Yeah we definitely were planning on having a lot more audio wise but as we couldn't find an artist for our team I ended up using a lot of my time on that since I'm not super quick w art. But we're definitly gonna add all the things we didn't have time for so check back later ♡♡

Let us know any bugs you guys find! We are planning to add in all the things we wanted to but couldn't and clean it up a bit more and expand, maybe add some plot and mechanics.

Thanks! We were hoping to get more of the art and audio in before submissions but weren't able to. We plan on adding in everything that we couldn't and fleshing out a bit of a story line so check back later! :D
