Very cool looking, very cool sounding, and very satisfying game! Hits those good old DOS game aesthetics and has a very satisfying crunch to its sound effects on top of the also very satisfying looping of items around the controllable orbit to combo multiple enemies as much as possible. I love how the two items have completelly different purposes, albeit more or upgrades to the existing ones for added variety might've gone a long way for variety. The enemy variety itself is very nice (and the theming around the various malwares is very fun), just wish the first couple levels were a little shorter to encourage replay. That being said this was one of the most enjoyable games I played this jam!

The character is so expressive! I loved the resource management in this game and having to constantly weigh the benefits of using the two throwables. I do think the curve and gravity of the sphere could feel a little better, but it probably is the way it is to make it available more quickly.

Wowowow. Once you start to pick it up, it gets very addictive. Had fun and enjoyed the audio

Had a lot of fun playing this one. Concept and execution are very well done. Simple but enjoyable mechanic. The dorky art style rocks as well!

Submitted

This concept is very cool! I also love the idea of controlling the menus using the same controls for the game. My only issue is how long it takes to go to the next level. Other than that, I think this may be one of the best takes on the loop theme!

Really original! Felt really good to match the movements with the rythm of the arriving enemies in order to strike them with the right weapon and at the right time!

Good job!!!

I love the idea of playing a windows firewall defending against viruses. The mechanic of throwing items by moving your hand left/right is pretty cool. Well done!

yowzers i think this is my favourite one yet :o the gameplay loop was really fun and the enemies were really creative. i really liked the artstyle and the music rocked as well. initially i didnt realize that the attack recharges after you attack with the other thing and lost a bit of health due to that, but otherwise no complaints! great work, this is awesome!

We greatly appreciate all the feedback and ideas; keep up the support! The more support, the more likely I can convince M3zik to update the game post-jam!

(more weapons, more enemies, more music <.<)

Approved.

This is a masterclass in game feel, you made hitting combos on the enemies really satisfying. Not to mention I love the artstyle and the music (also i have to ask was the music inspired by deltarune because i swear i can hear similarities)

Developer

yes a bit

Fun! Whippin' the hand around and releasing the two different weapons was real satisfying, once I got the hang of it. Would be dope if there were some upgrades after a run but I totally get that it's hard to do that for a jam - always a good sign when you want MOOOOOAR!

Saw this game on Shrike's stream and loved it. Heads up the mouse doesnt work on menu items on web

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for checking out our game! The mouse actually has no use at the moment besides creating a cool effect when clicking. I will totally add mouse controls after the voting period though!

Awesome game! I lost when the enemy blockers started appearing. Interesting game design!

love the art, love the music, gameplay was awesome, it was pretty frantic all throughout the game which just made it so fun, only critique is that if there were more throwables with new mechanics it wouldve made it even more fun, but nice job!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!! The gameplay is so fun and simple, but the difficulty was so good. THAT LAST ENEMY WAS SO EVIL!!! I WAS SO CLOSE!!! The music is incredible, it has no business going as hard as it does. I also love the old windows crash noise for that red head enemy. This game is so good! One of my favorites from this Jam. The gameplay, art, and music were just so good, and everything was so solid. Great choice to make levels, as opposite to random placement too, The levels feel like they have purpose and escalation. My only complaint is that I felt like levels were too long early on. Overall, fantastic job. Following you to see more games.
