We represented the theme with the gear switching mechanic, always swapping to the next color in a loop. The gameplay structure is also infinite wave based, a loop.

Fun and very polished considering you made everything yourselves! Worked fine in the web for me.
Well done
Thanks for the compliments! Glad to hear it ran fine
oooh very nice and polished for 4 days. great music and satisfying hits!
Thank you! Really appreciate it :D
nice game! i liked that each wave is kind of a puzzle
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed
Never played baseball before, will be swinging at people in real life now
As intended :)
OH, thats a baseball! Nice work
Hahaha we said the same thing when we came up with the design
Very cool game!
Thank you for playing !
really cool! was a bit hard and I wish the mechanics were introduced a bit more steadily. Otherwise really enjoyed the experience, graphics, sound, and was happy to see it preformed well in browser! great job all around!
Thank you! Glad to hear the experience was enjoyable :D
Neat idea, love the art and music! I feel like the combat could benefit from being able to move while attacking, as well as giving the enemies a better indicator that they're about to attack so you can dodge out of the way.
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely something we're gonna take into consideration for next jams :)
Loved the music, especially the main menu, gives off lofi vibes; the design of the main character is super polished as well as the animations, good job!
Thanks! Gab did a great job on the music indeed
YAY! Super happy to hear that :D
Insane quality! I would love more feedback before enemies hit so I could dodge easier. Otherwise really fun, love the animations, the controls are snappy, convenient arrows pointing to enemies, cool designs.
Thanks for the kind words! Indeed the enemies could have had a bit more telegraphing, if we ever update the game that's probably gonna be a priority :)
I really liked the music and graphics. It's a lot of fun to play! :D
Thanks! That means a lot to us :D
Really fun game with cool graphics specially the main character and the bgm that suits very well with the gameplay. Had a great time killing those enmies. :)
Thank you for playing our game and for all the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
WOW amazing, basically a finished game. just a lil more polish and good to go! really nice concept, aesthetics and music are great too, feels very retro
i just wish the player got rewarded with mana (or whatever that is) for hitting the enemies with the right color,
would be cool if every wave consisted of enemies of at least two different colors, so you wouldn't have to hit them knowing you have no damage, just to change colors.
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to hear all this positive feedback :)
Very cool, the gear switch is a simple but very enjoyable feature
I like that each time I discover a new enemy, I must develop a new strategy to beat him
Thank you! It’s nice to hear that the strategy element of the game was fun :D
I love the quallity! Wish i can do something like that someday. Interesting gameplay feature with gears.
Glad to hear positive reception for the gears!
This one was really fun. I enjoyed learning how to best fight each enemy and timing my swings to kill them faster. The color matching mechanic is also pretty neat.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Really fun game! I love that you can’t just switch gears instantly, having to fill the meters adds a surprising layer of strategy that kept things interesting. The enemy designs were varied and memorable too. Great job overall!
Thanks for the kind words and yeah I really like seeing the different ways people deal with the AP orbs and enemy patterns :)
The color-switching mechanic to counter different enemies was awesome, and the music really elevated the experience!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for playing! Glad to hear the gear change mechanic fits the gameplay well!
This is a really cool game! I love the impressive art style and how the enemies telegraph their attacks.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad we spent time playtesting the game seriously, one of the products of that was the enemy flash :)
This was super cool! All the art music and sounds were great! The robots reminded me of the robots in sonic haha. The controls were smooth enough although sometimes I felt like I was taking damage on near misses. I also felt it could be kind of hard to match the weakness type too easily and didn't initially understand how it worked but I picked it up by the end. Great game, you all did great work!
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Glad you had a good time with the game!
