Not bad at all for your first jam. It reminded me a little of vampire survivors or megabonk. One thing I think might be helpful is to have a signal on the edge of the screen for where the rush or the tank is coming from. I was thinking it might be useful to have little markers for the regular enemies too but that might end up being too much on the screen. I got to the 200 enemy level and allllmost beat it. Unfortunately it took me a few attempts at the 175 level and I don’t quite have the patience to keep trying to get further. Well done can’t wait to see what you come up with next year!

Kiss the Homies - GMTK 2026Unique idea with fun theming. Enjoyed playing around with this a bit. The ice cream seems a bit underpowered given the strength of the other two powers, but overall a good game!

Wipe MeowtIt sounded like your aim for this jam was to learn pixel art and meet the deadline, you did exactly that! I would like to play this game again with more variety and a more in-depth game loop in the future. Good work! I played this on stream, you left so leaving a link here, there will be a VOD! https://www.twitch.tv/nebsterlive

Ministrelli's Cardboard CircusWow this was so satisfying to play! I also loved the Idea its really relatable lol. One thing I would recommend to juice up your game even more would be to add a slight amount of screenshake when you kill someone, it would really just add such an extra oomph to the game and make it soo much more satisfying! But I really love this game its super fun!

Before the Demon Lord AwakensCongratulation for your first attempt to be a solo game jammer (me either!), the idea is hilarious, the pizza that one shot for every enemies is satisfying.

Silent CountFor a first game jam this is very impressive. I like the arcadey feel of the game, the game is really fun even with such a simple idea.
