Pretty fun! At first it felt kind of too easy but then suddenly there's chaos with all the Milo's. Simple but engaging game. I agree with others about the balloon and the plane, the balloons are a bit too punishing to shoot. Maybe the plane could slow down when you shoot the Milo's? Good job!

I. Need. To. Hit. That. Plane!! Lol! Very enganging gameplay, every upgrade you get, the game gets more interesting! Music is good, and the 1bit graphics are very cute. Great game! Too bad, couldn't stop Milo from getting away :(

Scrap Boy - GMTK Jam VersionAmazing! The upgrades to add replayability were great! My hishcore was 262! The graphics wer amazing too, I love this draw style. Congratulations!

RuffHousinVery fun! My only complaint is how you need to play sub-optimally to get more money in the beginning. I think it would be better if you got money at the end of the run proportionally to how many milos you got.

Shield BearerGreat game! Cute presentation, addicting gameplay and fits the theme of the jam pretty well.

Out of ReachI didn't expect the game to go out of control SO FAST. Without a joke it was like "seems pretty nice and relaxing... wait... WAIT MILO, WHERE ARE YOU GOING, COME BACK. NO NO NO" (as you can see, I was losing a lot XD)
The game is so well polished and executed, you even made the shop. In a game for a jam! That's some high level category of the jam games. The art style and funny music fit the gameplay very nicely and do their work to set the right tone. Although, if you think so, it's story is kind of sad: MILO just wanted a balloon, poor Milo... but great game! Best of luck

CTRL and RollFantastic, really! I like the concept, art, music and MILO!
It gave me a really good feeling when I thought "if the dart could pierce ballons it would be perfect, that's a shame!" and then here it is in the upgrade menu!
Wonderful work! Probably my favourite so far (I hope you won't mind if I follow you XD).

BerserkardI was yelling "No Milo... NOOO MILO NO!" my wife looked confused XD haha. Great game! and super fun idea with awesome sprite design. Congrats on submitting such an awesome game to the jam~ please check out mine if you haven't :D

Black Hole Defensereally fun! Simple but effective art. It's pretty satisfying when you get all the upgrades and can basically start spamming the whole screen

Ctrl + Alter + DefeatReally cool game and quite addictive! Maybe I am not very convinced with the cash system, earning money is not directly related to lasting a long time. Anyway, great game!

Broken PipesThis is honestly my favorite game of the jam that I have seen so far! The audio design and composition is stellar and the even the music alone was enough to keep me wanting more! Really like the idea that Milo duplicates when you shoot him down instead of just having random increased waves. that exponential growth can certainly get overwhelming really fast but luckily the power ups are there. Seriously though, great game!
I got the music from OpenGameArt.org! https://opengameart.org/content/bossa-nova << Here's a link to that specific track. :)
