The amount of polish on this game is really impressive and the art style is lovely!

Fun game! Spammed Mark for bullet hell at the end and won :D

This is so well done! Everything is so solid from the main gameplay loop to the art to the character/enemy abilities. I would have no clue this one was made in 9 days if I wasn't a part of this jam, which is incredible of y'all!

That was a great game!

Submitted

Very original, I don't think I have played anything similar. I love the art. Some way to customize characters between bounties would be nice, I didn't feel like I was progressing.

Submitted

Silly fun. Reminds me of the board game Catacombs. You have to flick around your rpg characters and they have different abilities. Great concept for a game!

Developer

That does sound pretty similar, ill have to check it out!

Thanks ^.^

It was really fun! Lovely art and animations, fun loop and seemed polished. Congratulations ♥

Really nice game! Was a little hard to click on the units and I would have preferred to drag toward the location I wanted to go instead of away, that way I didn't try dragging off the screen.

Developer(+1)

I think you are right about the dragging being in the wrong direction haha

Thanks for playing :)

This was so cute and a really simple but unique gameplay idea! I LOVE the art style! To add to the controls discussion, I think it would've felt better to me on a touchscreen. It's hard to remember where my cursor is in the chaos lol

Developer(+1)

hi! Artist here, thanks for playing! I mostly played myself on my iPad and works very well control wise !

Submitted

That was such a fun game and lovely idea, basically everything from graphics to audio as well
On my older laptop I had issues though with some sprites not rendered correctly somehow,  but on this one everything works fine.
I wish there was a version to download, this might have worked on the other pc as well.

Quite fun, could easily see this scaling into a successful mobile game with a few more characters, a couple dozen levels and a loadout system

Developer(+1)

You never know 🤔

unique entry, quite a bit more fun than expected. controls feel a bit in reverse. maybe should lean more into the chaos with more characters and enemies at the same time

Developer

Yeh haha it seems to be the consensus that the drag should be in the oposite direction.

If i was to do it again I would definitely make the game more like the last level rather than the first few.

Thanks for playing ^.^

Caught the Big Dog! Absolute madness, really enjoyed this. Fun mechanic, really charming art and music too. I also didn't notice at first I could get more characters in, but immediately the impending chaos became clear. Nice one!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed putting big dog behind bars. I always try to add a touch of chaos somewhere in my games haha

Thanks for playing ^.^

Cool game. Nice artwork and character and gameplay mechanic.
I especially liked the animation of the creatures in the cage.

But I really don`t like that the "direction" arrow, is kind of inverted? was it too easy or not quirky enough having it aim in the direction my mouse is aiming at?
That was the reason I stopped playing, it was to exhausting for me. Also when the player characters are visually obstructed, behind trees and so on, the directional arrow is not visible.

Developer(+2)

People seem to be divided on which way the arrow should go when you drag, I think it must be people that played flappy birds as kids and those who didn't haha.
If I was to do it again I would add some more options, or just rework the launch entirely 😜


Thanks for playing  ^.^

Great game! Dragging on the edges of the screen was a bit difficult/impossible, but otherwise, everything was very fluid.

Mark is obviously overpowered, though! :p 


Developer

A former vet with a gun and nothing to prove? How could he not be overpowered :P

Thanks for playing :)

definetly XD, but a great and still very polished game

Good Game. The chaos at the end brought it all together, very nice!

Submitted(+1)

cute bouncy art! a bit difficult to juggle several characters at the same time with that kind of controls though… hedgehogs are the worst (kidding) great submission, congrats

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Cute art style, fluid animations, great sound design, all top notch. Incremental level was so much fun! Solid work!
