Use of the limitation
We incorporated the "unpredictable rules" limitation by having stacking rule modifiers apply each time you start a wave, such as swapping aiming and movement or reversing your aim. We had hoped to add more variations but time ran out!

Not that many to be honest.. I had plenty of corn chips and salsa

Liked the premise of the game. It's fun playing and the way you incorporated the limitation was really adding to it. Needing to press an in-game button for the next wave is great idea to give players a brief break while introducing the next rule. Also, I enjoyed the music. To improve I'd suggest to simply add more content and variety because you have a solid base.

Really fun! Easy to sink time into, I really like the use of the controls swapping to keep you on your toes!

Cool game, interesting rules turned out. I especially liked switching the movement to the mouse. The brain breaks a little from this, when you have already gotten used to one control, it's cool.

Great game! Funny concept and hilarious way of applying the limitation. Had a good time!

You guys really nailed this for your first game jam. It looks great, feels great, and is super engaging. It's got great polish and it's very clear how you could take this project further. Music and art you chose are great. Awesome arcade-y feel. I love it! I'd be excited to play a future version with more rules, enemies, bosses etc.

Great job on this! It was a lot of fun to play. My only gripe with the limitation is that it isn't unpredictable. 5 stars for concept!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, we leaned on the "swapping controls" being an unexpected/unpredictable change, but didn't have enough time to add more crazy effects / maybe the text hints on the button were too obvious. Glad you enjoyed it though!

Really loved this one. Genuinely fun and a really engaging simple premise that made what appears to be a relatively basic looking game as engaging as it is simple. 

If I would make one change it would be to omit the written warning about what is going to happen to the player. It would make it much more interesting if the player had to intuit the game mechanics on the fly in a high stress environment as opposed to having it literally spelled out for them. 

Good job though. Liked it a lot.

Appreciate the feedback, glad you liked it! Yeah, that's how it was in development but thought it was too punishing lol, maybe including a "hard mode" with the text hints off would have been good.

Very fun but I very quickly began getting repeating effects. A greater range of weirder modifiers would really elevate this.

Totally, we had plans to add more crazy modifiers but we ran out of time. It's our first game jam so glad you found it fun!
