VO is funny. And the amount of levels is unusual for the jam. The game is not bad, even tho I am not that musch of a fan of tank controls

A classic old-school vibe to it, I did like the bomb to your head with a timer to get through each level, nice!

Very good boomer shooter vibe wise, the voice lines like: "You're the bomb" and "I liked being tied up" made it for me. Some criticisms though, most of the enemies could be skipped, and even if you were to fight them a lot of them could be cheesed by shooting magic bullets through walls. I didn't have much problem with the controls at first, until the last boss that is. The last boss made me hated the controls with every grain of my being and made me realize why modern shooters are the way they are. It's like trying to fight an Atomic Heart boss with one arm amputated. But overall I think this is one of the hidden gems of the jam.

"I'm gonna burry you in a lunch box" Almost saved the world but Alfred Fettuc was too much for me.

Simple and fun, I like the escalation from stick figure to abstract bloody blob monsters.
