ooh i like the style of this! i'ma a sucker for pixel style and this has a really fun one, a fan of the lanky monkey with big head and ears. the immediate start of just text exposition with no sound feels like it could be more engaging and make a better first impression (the preface is not very memorable to me sorry) but after that things look and sound great! i did accidentally skip the tutorial by reading half of it and testing out the second line before i'd read the rest, maybe something to keep in mind.... i also wasn't sure what to do after i'd bought something, feel like you could've re-used the green text on the floor there even as just an arrow or something. money goes down weirdly slowly.... makes it a bit harder to budget. i feel so broke in this game.... everything so expensive so i get super focused on trying to collect the money before it disappears which i think is a nice extra layer of something to worry about while shooting. and i'm pretty bad at it. the enemy spawns seem well placed because they really get in my way. it's a nice challenge i'd probably spend more time trying to overcome if i wasn't trying to get through more games for voting rn... i like that the pal abilities make sense for the person, like mudan relating to speed, and their sprites are rather charming.

I wanted to make a more immersive tutorial, one where it shows you each of the abilities and doesn't proceed until you do them (there's even code in the game for that) but as you can guess, time is a funny thing T-T

Yeah the money drain is uhhh kinda broken? It's supposed to lerp to the correct value instead of move at a constant rate, but I forgot to fix it after testing T-T

I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the feedback! I wanna update it after the jam ends, so it's super helpful!

One of my Favorites so far, but im 100% sure you cant beat mouse! i tried like 3min straight shooting in her face xD but it was really fun, the weapons felt different, the music was good animations cute very good work :) i wish it wouldnt allow me to buy the same weapon twice, or upgrade my existing one if i buy it 2 times ^^

Developer

So, you can technically beat Mouse, but I accidentally cranked her health WAY too high before shipping (i was testing with an upgrade that gave you double damage and didn't properly account for it T-T) so that along with poor balancing in general leads to a really bad boss fight 

I want to develop the game further after the jam, and I think weapon upgrades would be sick as beans in all honesty! Thank you for playing, and I'm glad you liked it!

One of the funnest games I've played in this jam so far. It deserves so much more ratings (probably lower ratings because there isn't a web build.)

Great job!

Developer(+2)

Yeah I think a game like this would've been perfect for web builds, but uh in all honesty, I dunno how to do that in my engine so T-T

Glad you liked it so much!

Developer(+1)

I’m glad you liked it so much! I literally spent the entire first day making Monke look cute, so I’m glad it paid off!


Was hoping to see the dynamic duo in another jam, can’t wait to play it (and maybe see the devlog you’ll make afterwards???)

Submitted(+1)

i do have footage this jam!!! :D i'd love to make a devlog, i've just been discouraged from it after switching editing software :,) i'm a slow editor so if i do make one then it'll be like a month from now x)

Really fun!  All the weapons feel super polished and satisfying to use

Developer

Honestly I wish I could’ve added more weapons, they were easily the most fun to create! Goad you liked it!

Very fun classic vampire survivors like game!


The feel of the weapons was very nice, very enter the gungeon! Was that an inspiration? I wasn't sure where the pals came into it until I bought a Daidus!


There was an issue on one of the levels where I killed all the enemies but the shop didn't load. Other than that very cool!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! Yeah, Enter the Gungeon was an inspiration (which is funny cause I've played a total of two minutes from that game yet here we are)

Sorry about that but, I thought I had squashed it before T-T
