Yooo I kinda vibes the screenshots! I hope I could at least play your game somewhere.

Hey, it really stinks that you deleted your ZIP right before submission time :(

It is great that you got it hosted on your own site so I could at least check out what you got done.

To piggyback off what Jill said, oftentimes its tough for multiplayer games to get much traction in game jams because you need at least one other person playing the same time you are, which can be hard to coordinate.

Hopefully you come out of this game jam experienced a little better, and you'll have some knowledge to crush it in future jams and projects!

Appreciate you taking the time to check it out despite the upload situation — that means a lot genuinely. And you’re right about multiplayer coordination being a jam problem, but I actually built around that. There’s a Practice Mode where you dodge bad squares and try not to shoot yourself — no opponent needed, just you vs. your own shaky hands. Honestly it might be the more fun mode. I play it by myself regularly. Taking everything from this jam into the next one. Good looks 🤝

Where is the game?

Hi Hussteadaddy( intriguing name btw) — my itch upload got corrupted when I accidentally deleted the ZIP right as submissions locked, so there's nothing to see on the page. I'm out of the running and not trying to change that — just sharing the actual build here so people can play it: Shaky Showdown Game

Sorry for the confusion!

I don’t see any game on the page.

Hey Patricia — my itch upload got corrupted when I accidentally deleted the ZIP right as submissions locked, so there's nothing to see on the page. I'm out of the running and not trying to change that — just sharing the actual build here so people can play it: Shaky Showdown Game

Thank you! It looks pretty, I’ll give it a go!

It looks like it's a multiplayer game, so I can't seem to play it as a single player. 

Would be helpful to have some text on the itch.io page explaining the game and controls and things, especially if there's a single-player mode against an "NPC" or something.

Jill, you have no idea how much this comment meant. You took the time to actually engage with the game and tell me what was missing. Your feedback is literally why I built a single player practice mode, a slightly more structured menu with a full how to play screen during my final hours of the jam. You saw what the game needed before I did. For what it's worth. I'm not in the voting pool anymore — my upload got corrupted and I know that disqualifies me. But I wanted you to know your time wasn't wasted. You made the game better. Here is a link to the game if you want to play: Shaky Showdown Game . Thank you 🤝
