- Had a good time trying to survive, had the elevator glitch out but saw the comments how to avoid it for future play. Great idea, loved the enemies
Who worked on your submission?
Just me :)
How does your submission fit the theme?
Yes. There are lots of bald people.

I love voice acting and gameplay :))
Hi, I just wanted to check something. You answered that only you worked on the submission but also credited a voice actor. Did you also do voiceover for this game, or was there someone else on your team as well? We count anyone who makes assets like art, music, or voice acting as a member of the team. I want to make sure that there isn't anybody else uncredited. Thank you!
Hello. I thought that the submissions credits was to allow other people that worked on the project to vote for other submissions. So yes, John did the voice for the baldies, and I did everything else, including the voiceover and the combat music that plays during the level.
Nah, the reason we asked who worked on the submission is because we have a limit of 3 people per team. That's why I was asking who else worked on your game. Thanks for answering!
I liked the gameplay loop (untill i accidentally reset my progress by clicking to return to main menu). The art is fun and i like the overall idea. It just feels like its dragging on way too long. I made it till floor 8 and the levels became pretty long and at some point sadly a little bit boring since i just hid in a corner and lured all enemies in a chokepoint. All by all thats just nitpick stuff! Great job overall and loved the skellies!
hey, thanks for playing my game. Yeah, I would’ve made some balancing changes, making the game shorter, upgrades cheaper and giving more point, but such is the challenge of a game jam
All fair and valid reasons yes! We had so much ideas for ours too and ended up scrapping more than half of our ideas due to time
The baldies and their voice clips and animations are awesome, it's also very fun to upgrade the weapons later on, it is pretty slow on the first few floors, also levels start taking too long towards the end, made it to floor 4 and cried, I might try to beat it once I play the rest of the entries. Pretty good atmosphere tho! Really liked how you implemented the skeletons too!
Pretty addicting loop, the voicelines and Bald UI made me laugh and I liked the set up with the story. Only wish the currency wasn’t so stingy, felt like I could barely purchase one thing each floor even though I killed so many baldies. I think I enjoyed using the razor the most even though it kinda falls off on later floors. Fun game!
I'll start by saying that this is a super fun idea and pretty addicting gameplay loop, I'm not good enough to get past maybe floor 11 but I'm having a good time with it regardless. The bald zombies are funny and the baldness health meter is great, good job with everything
However there's a pretty gamebreaking bug where sometimes in the elevator it doesn't put you on the next floor (or any floor) properly, it just brings up the shop each time and then immediately puts you on the next floor and does the same thing, until you hit floor 1 and you're completely softlocked. I initially thought it was cause i didn't let the elevator doors close before I hit continue but it also happened when I waited a fair bit of time, I don't know what the deal is but it's making it unreliable to play
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I know about the bugs, and I am trying to solve it, but they are only apparent on my builds, and not in my editor so its been kind of a pain to debug.
Yeah we had some similar problems with bugs only showing up in the builds and working fine in the editor so our programmer had to go through and try and find what the hell was going on, best of luck with fixing them
I may had clipped myself out of the level (Got cornered, spammed jump and held back), overall, really fun game! Made it to like floor 3!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the game.
Cool game jam, made it to level 6 and lost to the hordes (40 baldies), I stood on the toilet and glitched out of the wall which save me once.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed
