Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
In Battle The Start the player needs to get started but the Start wont let you get started.

this is so good!! the idea is cool and it really fits the topic of the game jam

i managed to finish the game in the third try

I was playing with a trackpad the first time and thought the game was broken the first time around! Very interesting take on the theme, although the boss was a bit of a difficulty spike.

Submitted

This was such a cool experience! Love the little throwing animation from the start (pun intended). Nice game overall!

Submitted

This was a really creative take on the theme! I love it! Feedback from clicks would add a lot to it. Had fun playing this! Great game idea :D

Submitted

What a funny idea. the shooter section was so hard for me mainly cuz of skills issues, but I loved the struggle between you and the start button. Great work!

Submitted

A really cool game that takes META to a whole new level, couldn't start the game but eh whatever it was fun. 5/4/5

Submitted

Really cool game ! Initially thought it was broken but the real game start surprised me :)
Cant get past the shmup part as the hitbox is kinda unforgiving (or my skill issue idk)

Its a funny idea and a good spin on the theme i like the feedback you get from colliding with walls, but some sound FX would have been nice. Other than that it's good.

Awesome game very fun and creative

after beating the game all i can say is peak

The author is an unrecognized genius. The theme is 100% covered. The music is a bomb, very pleasant, and doesn't get boring like it often does. The boss fight was a bit challenging, but overall, the game is great. I give it an 8/10

Submitted

It was very fun, and I managed to defeat the start. Great work!

Submitted

Very fun! I wasn't expecting this when I just started it

Submitted
