Nice game. The music is a bit annoying, but well done

Developer

Thank you ! I agree for the music I should have worked a bit more on it , it's not very melodious ^^"

I don't think this really adheres to the theme for this year enough, the game was put together well and the art was nice though.

Thanks for your input and for trying it out :) . The main idea I had was "You're stuck in a time loop" and the plan was initially to include more levels and when finishing the last one you'd go back to the 1st one and begin the cycle again. I was short in time to do it, so I made just one endless level and I agree it's lacking consistency and the actual loop is not very interesting .

Congratz on submitint the game for this game jam! Now it's quite a simple top down shooter, I'd like to see more juicyness, it can make even simple games more enjoyable.
Check out this:  

There are more resources and video on this, try to make your game much more satisfying, later you can apply to other ones and other game jams.

Yeah in fact I was a bit short on ideas and decided to do the genre I like the most. I've already seen this video and a lot more on this topic, I just couldn't find the time to polish it as much as I wanted. Thanks nonetheless for the comment and feedback , I do appreciate it =)

Nice retro-shooter. The third weapon seemed like a downgrade from the fast firing rate of the second, but then I got the flame thrower and that was great. Nice job!

Developer

Weapons are chosen randomly every time, and I already made some changes to balance them (update is coming post-jam) . Thank you for your feedback !

Simple but fun. Aiming seemed off though, couldn't seem to shoot at certain angles. Was playing on controller not sure if that matters, but yeah otherwise was pretty good

Developer

Yeah I had some issue with the controller input in my code, it works best with mouse atm. Thanks and glad you had some fun at least =)

Genuinely spooky soundtrack.

I really liked the sprites and the pixel art, especially for the UI! Good work!

Developer(+1)

ahah I made the main song really quickly with bosca ceoil and I'm not a good music composer yet ! Thank you for the kind comment on the art and UI, that's where i spent most of my time. I appreciate it !

Submitted(+1)

Good job! I think some more feedback for when the player takes damage could be helpful, as well as perhaps an explanation of how the weapons work.

Developer

Hey thanks for the feedback, I added player flashing but i couldn't upload it in time. And each weapons are different but the main thing is some are automatic while the other are not. I'll add it in the description !
