Really fun game with a cool idea and a great art style. The enemies were tough, but in a good way. I also liked the “Bonk baddies” tutorial, though having some pickups collect automatically might make things feel smoother.
i enjoyed exploring and discovering new mechanics. very polished for a 4 day game! nice job
Really nice game. Enemies weren't that challenging if you had the material.
I loved this game! Really fun to play, and a cool idea too. The enemies were a little bit tough but that made it better to be completely honest. Good luck in the jam!
Solid game! Loved the pixel art too. I kind of wish there was a dodge or something though, I found it slightly challenging to dodge enemy attacks
Hi :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
We do have a dodge (with the space key). I hope next time you play it, it will be easier :)
Really fun game. The tutorial is easy to follow, the music fits the experience really well, and the game hooks you from the beginning. Highly recommend!
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
El juego es realmente espectacular! Es buenísima la música y la adrenalina que te genera cuando te persiguen
Gracias! Me alegra mucho, la adrenalina era el efecto que queríamos generar
just a nice, polished game, very lovely. I remember your previous Resettlers in 2025, keep it up!
Awww, thanks! That's so cool! :)
Congrats on your submission! A good amount of content and well polished. Good job!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Really polished game, awesome Entry, i will play it after Jam, thank you! (Best jam game right know)
omg thank you so much! knowing that you enjoyed the experience *that* much means a lot to us <3
let us know how it goes! and be sure to drop some suggestions or things you'd like to see if you want :)
Pretty great tutorial, "Bonk baddies" hmmm intresting... Although the overall artstyle of the game is great!
I felt some of the pickups can be auto as it seems too much to pickup. Overall good game!!
thank you! I had fun putting the tutorial together (and yes, I can see myself out for that line xD)
about the auto-pickups, you're totally right. We discussed the idea but decided it might be too annoying when weight is part of the equation. Definitely something to test outside the jam deadline!
I like how how smooth and responsive movement and fights are, had fun dodging and thrown , and like the one bellow me said , you could've explosions to fuel. one thing tho , the game is more fun once time runs out 😝
thank you so much! we're glad you enjoyed it!
yes, explosive fuel was definitely on our plate, we just weren't sure we could implement it while keeping the game balanced but it does sound fun doesn't it? xD
and we agree with you, real gamers chase after post-timer gameplay ;)
It would be nice if fuel exploded once you threw it.
Hi! I hope you enjoyed it :)
We did thought about it, but in a mix of lack of time and a conversation if that mechanic encourages more players to throw the resources they want to protect, instead of a last resort bumping weapon, we opted against it.
But we'll keep it in mind!
wow , thats a lot of work for just a few days.. gg
Thanks! It was a bit crazy :)
The music is sooo good!!! I love the art it’s very immersive. I managed to beat the game first try but with only 1 health left
Thanks a lot :) Glad you enjoyed the vibe and congrats on beating the game! It certainly could be easier hahaha
