This is a cool game! I like the art and enemy designs, and I'm a fan of the music as well. I felt as though I spent more time selecting upgrades than playing the game, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Nice work!

Developer

Cool game, looks really nice and visually reminds me of Cult of the Lamb. If you continue working on it, I wonder how it will look. Good work!

Developer

Thank you!

Will let you know about our next project that used this game as prototype (if released).

Love the art :D Could use some more feedback animations during combat to understand when the player or enemies are hit.

Developer

Thank you and your feedback!

I really like the graphics and gameplay! This was a great job but 17 people all working on it? Is that real? thats insane! hahah I'd love to see a behind the scenes of that!

Please can you review our game if you get chance? Thank you!

Some feedback:

  • Needs more sound effects, such as for enemies or shooting
  • Not enough perks/too many re-rolls. You can upgrade exactly what you want every time.
  • My game just stopped at 4 minutes, screen filled with octopus enemies. Wasn't clear why.
  • Need to see your stats, things like HP or how much attack speed you have.
  • Game just plays itself after enough upgrades. At 2 minutes I could just stand still and nothing could get close.

The core of the game was solid, I did enjoy it. The art was really nice. The game page looks incredible; I especially liked the creature list.

Developer

Thank you so much!

So cutee, really like the premmisse and this type of survivor shooters. Won't repeat the other comments, but I think the game could really glow up with some gameplay and ui tweaks!

Developer

Thank youu!

The music slaps. The art is good. The gameplay could use some tweaks. I feel like I'm bombarded with upgrades at the start. Also, when I died, I felt like I was far away from everything. Apart from that, great game! It's also the first time I've seen so many people working on the game jam's game

Developer

Heheee~ thank you!

We're building something with this team. 👀

Very interesting art and idea. The setting is intriguing. The gameplay was confusing, though. I had upgrades popping up every 5 seconds, even though I hadn’t fired a shot. Is this an expected behaviour?

Developer(+1)

Thank you~

Finally someone ask the question -- The unbalance upgrade pop up is not expected.
We have a little time for balancing the gameplay experience.
Sorry for the inconvenient experience caused by this. 🙏

Great art and cool music! I think the enemies become a bit too crowded too quickly. The upgrades feel more like a blessing and a curse, and the objects that grant upgrades don't pause the game when interacted with. Still, nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Sorry for the upgrades TT

Submitted(+1)

Art was very nice, the upgrade screen didn't always freeze the enemies. Not sure how I feel about the tradeoffs on all the upgrades. It felt like they don't really add to the experience. Part of the fantasy of these types of games is becoming overpowered and not thinking too much. The depth of strategy isn't really there to justify the downsides in a small game like this.

Developer

Wow! Thank youu!

We really are getting many feedbacks about the upgrades.

Submitted(+1)

The art was really good and fit the theme! I felt like I was getting upgrades too frequently

Developer

Thank you!

We appreciate the feedback for the upgrades.
Seems like this kind of upgrades need more attention for player experience.

Developer

Thank you~

Sarah is very happy she called cute and the music is really her "style" ^^

Also, we really appreciate your feedback about the power up card.
Kudos for you too!
