Extremely difficult but I could see myself playing this for hours on end.
Amazing incremental game! The first incremental game from this jam I've played that has engaging gameplay, and very polished to boot! Great work!
Very fun! I enjoyed it all the way through. Would love to see this expanded to a full game
Very fun and well polished roguelite! After a few tries and upgrades I was able to beat the final boss. The windows UI is slick and clever but I was confused about the "system mod" button being "permanent upgrades" on the first run. I notice that killing honse with a second cursor (from double or mirror) still releases more bugs onto the PC which I feel might be an unintentional punishment for supposedly an upgrade. But the game is super fun nonetheless, with a lot of potential for more levels and upgrades.
Great game! Very high quality for a 4-day jam! It was quite difficult to kill the bugs in the later waves but I blame my own skills for that hahaha. Also, bonus points for being a bug game...
P.S. honse reference off the bat was wild.
This is a crazy and thrilling game. This game is the perfect example of a well of what jammers should strive for. Amazing work!
Wow, your interpretation of shooting digital bugs in cyberspace blows mine out of the water, welp. But you don't have a cute girl trapped in a game, I've got you there!
On a more serious note, amazing game. I see how I can improve "glitches" and shooting mechanics with this. It's got the juice and the gameplay to back it up. Nicely done.
Big kisses from a fellow bug sniper. This was very well polished dude. If this is 100% solo. Super cool man
This is what it felt like fixing bugs in my game at 5am on Sunday morning 😭Very fun game and I liked the theming of it! Probably the most polished game I've played in the jam so far! The upgrades and the apps add a nice strategic element to the game although having to start all the way at the beginning when you die is fairly punishing, particularly when that's the only way (at least as far as I could tell) to install system mods. After my second or third death, I bought all of the system mods and it made the game easier, but it would have been nice to have the option to buy those as I went.
Overall, a fun game and a fun premise!
the upgrades were meaningful , the game was polished. Good job!
very very polished! i like the "downloading gameplay" thing it looked really nice
good work!
super polished game, my arm hurts now but it was worth it! i may have mentioned this during another streamer's playtest, but i think that also enabling Z and X as alternate click keys would be very nice (also i'm a rhythm game player so i'm just used to double tapping those keys).
VERY well polished game. Super stylish and it is fuel for my ADHD brain lol. Love the audiovisual feedback, I’ll be grinding on this for a while. Fantastic work :D
This was a really cool entry, and fun to play. I need to play it more as I never even made it to the second boss, I don't think I'm good at these types of games XD I did figure out a secretish way to be better at it though LOL. Good job on this one!
This is genuinely such an amazing entry, the polish is incredible and the gameplay is great. Love the big honse.
Well done Game!
Kinda hard at the start but enjoyable!
This is by far the most polished game I've played on the jam so far! The intense and precise gameplay and upgrade and retry cycle makes for a very addicting and fun game loop. It really feels like a fully finished game that I wouldn't be surprised to find on Steam even :) Good job!
super creative, super well made, insane it was so polished this quickly, i love all the effects and theming and upgrades
Big DesktopDestroyer.exe vibes from the early 2000s. Fun and satisfying gameplay/sound effects!
Very nice twist on the presentation and looks, plays and sounds great but its only awe inspiring the first few times you play when it comes to all the juice and UI stuff so really wanted to bypass and get back to hectic aiming :) Although it did give me a rest period waiting. haha. Doesn't take away from the obvious talent behind this.
Yeah ill do an update after the jam to shorten that down past the second run through. (as well as fixing a bug where the boss really wants to kill you still even if you're on the death screen lol)
That's a good call because it should remain in some form because it's also a part of the immersion that really sets this style of gameplay apart also. Looking forward to future releases.
