Spectacular small gameplay overall, especially how the show rendered the player on TV. I like the 80s vibe of the show. I like how you can smash TVs to increase score on various spots as it's moving side to side.

Enjoyed the short, simple burst of gameplay here for what's it's worth! Really liked the feeling of charging up the hammer.  Loved the little duck fella with human hands

Thank you for trying our game! One of my main goals was to make the weapon use as satyisfing as possible, seems that it worked :D

Really fun game with a cool concept! I can see how this could have a lot of fun variety in weapons and fights if expanded on post-jam. I feel that the current version was just bite-sized and addictive enough to make me want to go back and try each weapon, as well as get the high score. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you! I was unsure if continuing the project or not, but im getting quite a lot of comments like this.. I might pick it up and work more on it!

A nice little game that definitely fits the retro tv theme and allows me to attempt smashing an old TV, which is something that I would be too scared to do in real life :)

Was not bad but the scope was far too small. Understandable if it's your first few games or so, or you're a very busy person
