This game was so cute and I really liked the title screen music a lot :) There were also some cool systems in place like upgrading and shooting. My only real complaints were minor bug-related things (like sometimes getting stuck on the wall) but other than that I thought it was very adorable and fun! great job, esp on your first jam!

Flap_TowerGameplay is really addictive! But i have to be honest i got confused initially on why i couldnt attack after a while only to realize after 10 minutes that my ammo was limited. It got pretty fun after that; having to manage my ammo, get gumballs to heal the machine, while trying to kill enemies. Got me hooked until the end! Only problem i had was the speed boost was a bit too much cuz it made the character a bit more difficult to control. Other than that, stellar game!

Hungry lil' DudesGreat game and art! I like the concept, but I'm bummed that the machine had to get destroyed at the end. It'd be really cool to see this concept expanded on, with more tower-defense elements

ProcrastiKnightThank you! Sorry I let the machine turn on you I wanted to add a bit of a story to foreshadow it but sadly there wasnt enough time. I wanted to implement typical turrets and mines but they were harder to do than I expected so I focused my time on other things but I may try adding it to the game after the jam!

with a total of 993 points :D
While there is a learning curve the gameplay, once understand, is very very very fun. I loved jumping around the big level, fighting the two enemies, and buying upgrades. The plot twist at the end was cool too. I liked the explosion gif haha, i did the same in my game. I also think the main menu and credits where very good.
My only feedback is to just make all of the hitboxes more forgiving (aka bigger.) apart form tat that the enemies where fun to fight and navigated the level in interesting ways, you can be proud of your first game jam submission!

AM REALLY HAPPY YOU ENJOYED IT
Am really glad someone took the time to really get good at the game I understand that maybe I shpuld've made it easier so its more accessible to more people but whenever I do that people would think it was too boring so am glad you really enjoyed it! I do agree on the hitbox I should've made them much more forgiving
Am honoured to get such high praise from you now I can be truly proud of what I've done!
A bit hard for me haha but maybe thats a me issue. The idea and execution is really good, it's very unique. If this game was fleshed out evern more, it could be an absolute banger!
