- Thank you for entering the game jam! This was a hilarious concept! I really like the sound effects AAAA quality! Everything about this concept is gold and I adore the artwork and effects in bringing it to reality! The controls took a bit to get use to but once I played for a bit worked smoothly. I would love to see a plan for adding level or boss fights. The wave mechanic works for a proof of concept and you have done a great job with the base mechanics. The overall gameplay loop works and was frantic at higher waves. You may want to explore drastic room clearing ability for use at higher waves. Great job, love the entry and wish you the best on future development!

Summarise your game!
2D pixel platformer where the player controls a scientist who flings his own body (press [A]) into hordes of knife shaped zombies in order to heal them - by drenching them in blood.
The healed knombies are transformed back into their original human form. Because the scientist's body is hurt every time he hits a knife, he has to be healed by getting new blood from the nearby blood transfusion (press [S]).
Try to survive all 4 waves!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The theme is "You Are The Weapon", so I took this very literally and expanded from there. My very first idea was the human-wielding sword which is also depicted as a sketch in my GDD. But this didn't look and feel right (I even made some animations with this). A friend remarked that the one of the inverted sword/human animations looked like the human was bouncing on a pogo stick. That's how the whole idea came to be.
Thanks for an awesome second game jam for me!
