Cool game! Loving the CRT effect

Submitted(+3)

The art is amazing! Awesome game, kinda wished that the dash was in the way I was going towards and not where the mouse is pointing, other than that, very nice, good job!

Developer

YAY so happy you love my art!! Noted on the dash for future haha - thanks so much for playing and commenting!!

Really unique art, and an interesting take on the orthogonal view, Good work!

Developer

omg thank you! I am happy you think the art is unique!!

Developer

I think I didn't quite understand weapon 4, but liked juggling the different weapon types, tight mechanics!

(+3)

I really enjoyed the chaotic nature of it all. Juggling weapons, dodging like there's no tomorrow and blasting those rats was a ton of fun. What stood out the most to me was the artstyle. Great work!

Developer

Yay so glad you enjoyed it!!! Happy you like my art work too!!

Love the CRT effect, fun concept !

Submitted(+3)

Fun, frantic, and full of style. The weapon countdown mechanic is really clever!

Submitted(+3)

I love the premise, I wish the cuts didn't explode so fast or rather me using them gun caused it to explode. It was hard to balance looking at the gun and the enemies. I would love to play a game like this but as a first person shooter and had to throw the guns at my enemies. The artwork is absolutely stunning. Fantastic job! 

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much for your feedback. Definitely agree with you, the game needs some balancing and the mechanic can be a bit confusing at first! The idea of throwing guns at enemies is also very cool! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and commenting! Ohh I love the idea of that - super happy you like my art work and liked the game!

Submitted(+3)

this game looks g8 nice audio too.. i need to adept do juggling guns to make them on cooldown but its pretty good !!

Developer(+2)

Thanks so much for playing and commenting! Yess so happy you like the look and audio! It takes a moment to get the hang of the guns but then it can become even more fun so Im happy you enjoyed it!!

shooter mixed with hot potato is the best way to word it xd, i like the concept and really like the pixel art, i would say tone it down just a little bit with the blurryness with the post processing, and maybe add some kind of detection for where you are and where the enemies spawn, as i've had the rats spawn on me a lot. i really liked the weapons, they felt pretty punchy and i've never had a reason not to use either one of them, as the timer mechanic really makes you switch between every single one. overall, really fun game, i had a pretty good time playing it :>

Developer(+1)

Hey thank you so much for playing and taking the time to write your feedback. Really happy you like my art! It was super fun making it - we tried indeed a filter on it but agree that its a tad too blurry now. We will for sure work on this more after the jam so appreciate the input also on the detection as well! 

Submitted(+4)

The chaos of having to juggle guns and shots in this is really well done! It works really well to have the player panic about lining up a shot quickly before your gun explodes while also having to avoid those pesky cheese munchers as well. I really liked the art as well, crt monitor styles are always fun! Great job all around!

Developer(+1)

Great to hear that the main idea is coming through well! Thanks for playing!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and commenting!! Super happy you like my art and that you enjoy the mechanics!

Took me a minute to understnd whats going on but the idea and take on the theme is great! also the art is very very nice!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing and your comment! So glad you like my art! YAY! And also happy you like the theme. After you get the hang of it I find it gets even more fun!

Submitted(+3)

It took me a second to get a grasp on the gameplay, but I think it has great potential! I liked the visuals, and the retro filter as well.

Developer(+1)

Yay thanks so much for playing and so glad you like the visuals and the filter!!

The game feels super awesome. It would be a little bit nicer if dash is controlled by arrow keys instead of cursor.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing the game and your comment as well with your feedback - we will take that continuing this!

Submitted(+4)

10/10 on vibes alone, I could shoot those cheese munchers all day! Cool weapon swapping mechanic as well, when you get the feel of it down its really fun. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and commenting and super happy you love the vibe !Honestly for us its been so fun putting it all together! Happy you enjoyed it! It takes a bit maybe to get used to it at first haha

Submitted(+4)

Very nice art and cool mechanic ! The controls are a bit hard to wrestle with though. Still, I did manage to send a couple of them to an early grave. Well done !

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! and happy you like the art and mechanics! Thanks for feedback - and YEEHAW well done!

I look games at these and then at my game and I am super impressed that this was done in the time that was given. 

Loved the art and the overall gameplay, the SFX was also very clean.

For feedback, the rolling felt weird, it might be the lack of animations but it felt like It went into a direction I did not ment to go. It also took me a minute to figure out I am suppose to swap guns constantly. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! And glad you like my art! YAY. - In hindsight we were quite ambitious to go for this type of game but it was really fun to do! 

Submitted(+4)

I liked this game a lot but the movement felt a touch clunky at times.  There were definitely some spots I thought I should be able to move through that it would not let me.  However, the visuals were great, the music was sweet, and the idea was really creative.  

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! Super happy you like the art and sound and the idea. Also love Guilded Goose Games as a name hahaha

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the review. Definitely agree with you on the movement part! A lot left to be desired on that end. I am glad to know you enjoyed other aspects of the game!
