This game is crazy fast, you don't even have time to eat one candy that you crave more already. The fighting system has the throw weapon that adds some extra depth, but for half of the time I was around punching candies and chocolate.
There's a huge difficulty spike from level one to level 2, but I suppose it was because of the low time to make more maps. I was a little lost on the second one, I thought I didn't have to reach the button right away, ahaha.
Here's the VOD (game is at 2:38:00)
Cool idea and really well polished! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D
Dang, talk about tonal whiplash!
It's fun to slaughter the candies and I really like you each gun has limited ammo and you can throw it when it runs out. It was also really smart to make the timer your health and fill it when you kill enemies. I especially like how it freezes and gives you another few seconds to kill an enemy once it hits zero. But the best part was probably the unexpected context for the game with the cutscenes.
I was told it's jam not blood, so we followed the GMTK26 rules accordingly
of course it's jam and it's the cherry flavor type.
I know it tastes like p e n n i e s
After some deep reflection about the game's themes and very deep narrative, it took me about half a day to come to the shocking conclusion that I still have no clue what's going on but the gameplay was great and I'm sure nobody died at my hands so 10/10

Very fun, very fast, very cool!
It's a very fun game ! I like the eccentric setting in the candy world, the movement and controls are nice, well done !
So fricken incredible, loved the frantic chaotic gameplay, the amount of bears at one point was craaazy. Super fun arcades vibes. Great job!
Glad you had fun with it :) Thank you for playing!
cool game!
Nice entry with fun gameplay!
Perhaps you could add alternating jabs? My left hand was feeling somewhat lonely :D
In the early development stages, the left arm was supposed to serve a part in the gameplay, but it got scraped, and it wasn't high enough of a priority to fix the animation
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I keep seeing you on streams btw :)
Aha, completely understandable!
Yup, I hang out on a few streams every now and then, it's nice seeing what games are out there and also getting feedback on my own game if I'm lucky. Very lovely community it seems, happy to have joined it!
FEEL THE SUGAR RUSH! The whiplash between the intro to the gameplay really set the tone for whats in store. The doom-esque gameplay loop is chaotic quick and it contrasts nicely to playful and colorful world of candy, creating a fun and silly experience! I especially love how satisfying it is to punch groups of candy critters into a fine red 40 mist.
Something I would have liked is for the dash mechanic to be implemented into the levels a little more. I felt it was only necassary to use in the introducing, and twice in the castle.
If I ever run out of glucose, at least I will be prepared! Cheers to the team!
A very fun game, you should get every person dieting ever on this one! Top marks.
Nothing could have prepared me for cruelty and chaos that this game is. This game is outright sick. In both meanings of this word
PS. I'm not a cheater for wanting to explore the world, I'm not to blame for an obvious hole...
i was on the stream Great game guys !
thank you!
we appreciate it.
Coming from the stream, it was really awesome, good job !
thanks for watching!
Playing DOOM with Pyro vision (from TF2), it's a great mashup. Very ambitious project, well done!
thanks!
I realized the Pyro vision now.
can't believe I forgot it XDDD
THAT WAS SO EPIC HOLY SHIT
"HOLY SHIT"
we also say this when we think about how did we pulled it off in 4 days XDD
Wow what an experience haha that was awesome, had me stressin
thank you for playing!
glad that you enjoyed it.
This was a great experience, i had a lot of fun playing, hope to see more in the future :D
Thank you for playing and im sure we will be back soon!
This was so much fun! I can't believe you guys made this so quickly haha, the opening sequence was really impressive, gave me massive skyrim opening vibes. Currently on a diet so it was both extremely satisfying destroying all of those sweets, but also omg I want all of those sweets in my tummy please thank you.
Amazing work! Hubby found it hilarious watching me play this with the sound on, this is a really great submission haha. I very much appreciate the in-game instructions also, its always so much easier to follow along. There were a lot of little things you did which made the game very pleasant - like highlighting gun drops etc. Really well done :)
Thank you for playing 😁 And yeah we have a very hard working team across different time zones so when one perwon goes to sleep another carries on 🤣 Glad you liked the opening scene! I myself worked on that one (and all of those candy models which I desperately wanted to eat too haha). Sorry for giving you the cravings on your diet 🤣
Mosk on our team really pushed for the income tutorials which really helped out! Its always a bit difficult reading lots of jam instructions then trying to remember them come gameplay time 😅
Anyway thank you both for playing/watching 😊
