Giving creatures a SLICKback haircut
Comments
Very satisfying lining a bunch of them up and giving them a snip! They remind me of the pac man ghosts, if they went too long without a shave. To be honest I thought we were destroying them, I didn’t realize we here just giving them a haircut until reading the description afterwards haha. Fun idea with throwing the scissors and using some “dash” hair product to zoom.
Very fun and SLICK idea! I would've loved to see the slick haircuts before the enemies disappeared. I would suggests decreasing the size of the hitboxes from either the player or enemies since there were occasions where I was at least a few pixels away but still took damage. Adding i-frames would be great too to avoid taking damage from multiple enemies at the same time to make this less difficult. I made it to wave 10 with 1 HP and died immediately when an enemy spawned on me... All minor tweaks. I can definitely see this being built out further! Great job!

Bohnny Javo: City SlickerCool game! I really like the moving background haven’t seen that in other games so far, might steal that idea for some of my own future projects :p

Em - SlashThis is a fun lil wave game! I love the lil creature enemies. It took me a second to figure out how to actually kill enemies though. Well done!

Artic Grapple Foxthank you for playing! yeah i plan on going back to redo the how2play screen haha, i've had some of my friends play it and it took them a bit to figure it out too
i also unfortunately can't rate your entry due to me only having access to a laptop with MacOS and i see that your game is a Windows downloadable only :(
Nice! Pretty fun once I got the hang of it. Wish they all moved a little differently so I couldn't always herd them to the middle by going in circles. Cool idea though, love the cover art!

Gachapon Citythank you for playing! appreciate it, yeah i added state machines to them and those randomly switch after some time but it ended up not proving as diverse as i'd hope haha - hoping to tweak it a bit
appreciate you commenting about the cover art!! was really hoping for that to get recognized, had a friend of mine design it and it came out great!
Pros:
- Fun
- Good graphics
- Slick
- mechanics
Cons:

This game is really fun. I hope you continue to update this in the future. Hopefully with more levels and a more colorful background. S L I C K/10

Johnny's Slick Adventurevery solid submission! mechanics felt good, and lvl difficulty scaling did too.
nice work!! I think maybe a little detail added to the aesthetic of the lvl room could have helped, but mechanics are more important and those are solid!
nice work.

Slick-Start: A CD_Ron Adventurethank you for playing! yeah i was hoping to include some i-frames after the player is hit to prevent multiple collisions against enemies that overlap each other, but didn't have enough time - good callout!!
i also unfortunately can't rate your entry due to me only having access to a laptop with MacOS and i see that your game is a Windows downloadable only :(
Pretty slick! Love jam games that have a simple, yet fun gameplay loop that you can get into easily. With some more crunch/juice this could've been turbo slick!

PIZZA PLANETcool concept. the loop of throw, dash, retrieve is neat. i was trying to play on trackpad so didn't get too far though lol

Rooster Booster 3DLove the dashing and picking up of the weapon, makes me feel like a ninja. One glitch I found is that you can through the scissor out of bounds and never pick it up. Great gob overall
