A simple yet fun arcade game. I thought the sound design was great, and it feels super good to kill an enemy. Nice work!

Three's a CrimeWow the music is pretty cool! I think that gaining momentum to sling your enemy was pretty fun. One issue is that I feel was getting to that point. Nice submission!

Webster BoosterOooh this game is fun, wanted to pass my alloted 15 minutes real bad aha. I liked finding out that the ghost guys can kill themselves by going too fast into walls! Was raging and talking to myself the whole time. Good job!!! (screen shake felt nice too)

Steer ClearThe game definitely needs a tutorial of some sorts and it took quite a while for me to figure how the controls worked, and how the core gameplay loop was designed to work. But after getting the hang of it, the game is quite enjoyable and very unique! I also loved the black/white pixel art style! Well done!

Loop Loop RocketThe strat is to lasso objects closely so you can easily build up angular momentum by running around in small circles :)
The monochrome palette looks great! I like that the background isn’t completely black; it kinda emulates the grayish tint of a CRT. Great job making and putting all this together by yourself!

Lasso HassleI loved the song. I don't know if it was just me, but I found the game very difficult. Regardless of the difficulty, it was fun overall.

Second Hand SlayerA really satisfying game once you got the mechanics, it was fairly intuitive, though the one zombie looking guy felt a little bugged as I couldn't swing him into something when it felt like the same speed killed the other guys. When I worked out I could kill him by swinging a crate into him, I could progress and it was fine. One hit kill is also a bit punishing, especially with the projectile enemy. Beside these critiques, I thought it was a well made game, and I really enjoyed the different ways you can kill the enemies, eg swinging one into another, into a wall, swinging a crate into them, and even punching them into something else moving, which was particularly satisfying. I really enjoyed this entry.

⬤ ➛ ■Its hard movement when you throw objects. As i understand, i cant kill a zombe using fist, and its true, its a minus for gameplay. The art is not bad, great animations! Great idea with fits the theme, but not original.
