i like the art and the sounds, really well done. the bullet is a little short for me but still quite good game overall!

Developer

thanks, you got a point with the range tho, i made it a lil too short since there's range upgrades in the shop

Fun game and really unique mechanic, so much style. I do wish the levels were shorter and instead there were just more of them rather than lots of waves, and the bullet range could be frustrating, for the longest time I thought they were hitting an invisible collider

ty :) you're right with "more of enemies rather than lots of waves" thing, the game gets a little repetetive at some point, i could work on more creative and crowded waves. and i also could make a different effect for when the bullets disappear instead of reusing the "on hit" effect. thanks again.

creativity: really good idea, a creative way to look at the theme, however the theme is "countdown" not "count" 😅 still really good.

enjoyment: really fun to play, with the upgrades and abilities. very good.

narrative: I like the dialogue, even though it's not a narrative game. 

artwork: the best so far. the characters, the cards, the enemies, background, everything looked good.

audio: nice, even though it was taken from Cuphead 😅

overall: best game I played so far, good artwork and gameplay, the fact that you made it in 3 days is amazing

thanks a lot :D i approached the theme like "count your kills" since down also has a meaning that way

Love the looks and sounds, but I couldn't get into the game when certain things got annoying, like a lack of a crosshair making it hard to know where my mouse is (even just a custom cursor would have helped with visibility). Overall you did well, but I didn't necessarily enjoy it as much as I wanted to

Developer

thanks, i actually added a crosshair at one point but for some reason i didnt like it and decided to remove it entirely, idk why id do that

From a purely visual standpoint, the game is really impressive. It looks really polished and complete. Kudos—especially considering how little time you had.

Pixelart looks great, all the visuals were really polished, main character's animations are very well done.

Your game is really cool, and the gimmick of getting money based on counting enemies was really well done.

Quite a good game, and I loved the soundtrack (Turnip Boy!)

Developer

thankss :))))

Developer

thanks a lot :)
