How does your game fit the theme?
My game fits the theme "Count Down" because in the game there is a floor, this floor turns red periodically based on a visible count down timer that the player can see

Oh man, the duality of needing to pew-pew into the sky, but the ground keeps hurting me randomly based on patterns I do not see because I am looking up? Brutal.

I think you have definitely got an interesting idea here, I just wish it started off a little easier, and clearer in game that the timer relates to the ground. From the start you are essentially looking up, so it is a weird shift.

I did have fun though, shifting between run & gun to jump & gun…

Good job, really interesting idea!

How can anyone NOT download a game called Attack of the Blue Balls? I mean, we've all been there.  So, two things: I hate those red bricks, they keep killing me. Secondly, I would play this in an arcade with a lightgun, and I would very much enjoy it, but I'm about to throw my mouse against a very hard wall rofl

This feels like a game you would get out of a cereal box in the 2000s. Fun little shooter with upgrades!

Submitted

Engaging Combat! Loved The unique powerups and fluid movement. couldve used a sensetivity setting since mine was so low

The main menu looks and feels great, but the ball moves so abruptly that I keep missing.

I really like the concept you have. I had a lot of fun making my gun absurdly  powerful to the point that the balls were dying instantly. I think if you added more gun upgrades, different enemies, and maybe a more complex win condition this could really be a full game.   Also a hold to fire option, I went all the way until round 30 and now my wrist hurts from spam clicking lol

Pretty fun game, but it was kind of scary to see a command prompt open after opening a file.

Thank you!!! I kind of rush the build, so yeah I forgot to remove the cmd :(

Fun game! It was a little counter intuitive to have to look at the foor while all the enemies were in the air, but by about wave 20 I was shooting so many bullets that the waves rarely lasted the whole 10  seconds.  Got to wave 50, and by then the whole screen was purple from stasis and the sky was more  bullets  than blue orbs :)

Developer

Yeah I wanted to make the difficulty higher but I got lazy for some reason LOL

Really fun game, and nice use of the theme, though i found it pretty hard to avoid the floor's red tiles! I had a nice time playing it! ^^

Nice game  with a nice usage of the theme !
Made me tempted to relaunch a certain sliding game with a robot in hell, I hope you're happy.

Nice spin on a style of games that was frankly overdone in this jam ! It being an FPS really made it stand out more !

Submitted

Lifesteal is too op. The gameplay is fun, tho i wish there was more to do.

Developer

Yeah... I kind of got lazy towards the end of the jam and didn't spend time to polish it thanks for playing!

Submitted

Pretty fun! I liked the sfx lol and the floor mechanic was cool. I always like changing terrain!

Developer

Thank you!!! I was originally going to make it like spleef lol but then the "lava floors" were easier to implement

Submitted

Not bad, its fun to play for a bit but the idea isn't particularly special.

Developer

Yeah lol I started off my ideas by trying to see what game ideas I could copy, Doom was one of them, well didn't turn out as I envisioned :( Maybe if I do another jam I could spend more time thinking about more creative ideas
