Amazing polish for such a short jam was a blast to play even if I don't like platformers!

Developer

Super cool mechanics that are satisfying to execute! I was really impressed by the polish on this one. The saving of the scores, the info tracked, and the UIs were all done very well. Nice work!

I really enjoyed this game. The art style is consistent, and the movement is so smooth when you get in a groove. My only issues with it, and this is being very picky, are I wish there was more of an indicator for when I can shoot again, and I wish there was a new, rewarding sound effect for when you kill an enemy.

Developer

im glad you enjoyed it!! and thats very fair, i struggled to make it clear especially since its so small on your character. i plan to add an optional on-screen indicator at the bottom that show's the cooldown of your left click and right click after the jam ends :)

This game looks super polished! I love the feel of the UI and the tutorial. The speed runner in me loved trying to go for crazy strats and fail miserably!

Developer

i'm glad you liked it!! and the speedrunner in me was what pushed me to make this game in the first place lol :)

Speed run on steroids. Very cool. Love the art an UI 😁 

Developer

thank you!! art is the thing i feel least experienced doing so i'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Very fun game and extremely polished!! The movement is very smooth, the UI is very clean, and I had fun doing trick shots and stuff on the enemies. The only thing would be that having ground enemies to mix up the aerial ones would be really cool! 10/10

Developer

ohhhh very good idea! i never thought about having ground enemies lol, but that would be really interesting. thank you for playing! :)

Loved this one! The tutorial level was really well done and the different maps and abilities were cool. The game was super engaging and fun to play overall, and the leaderboard was a good idea too, at the end. I only wish you made more music, different ones for each map, and that there was a health bar. Overall, good job! 

Developer(+1)

thank you so much!! the tutorial was really important to me since there are quite a few mechanics that, unless directly explained, you may not understand just by playing the game

also i wish i made more music too! audio is my favorite part of game dev, so if i had an extra 2 hours that's definitely what i would've done :)

Submitted(+1)

The audio was super good and ofc, I understand the workload on your shoulders! Keep doing what you're doing! <3

Submitted(+1)

yooooo! so cool! you need to keep developing this! pretty cool game

Developer

thank you!! i definitely want to make more enemies and more levels, just imagine how cool a big hexagon boss would be >:)

Submitted(+1)

This proves that even if your missing art, mechanics of a game can still shine through. this is great, super meat boy vibes

Developer

art is definitely my weakest discipline so i'm glad to hear the mechanics were still good :)

also i looove super meat boy!

immaculate game, easy to learn, hard to master, and whatnot.  reminds me of pizza tower in a way

is the name a reference to mario maker shellmets or is this a coincidence?

whatever the case, egg approved 

Developer

thank you so much!! not the first time i've heard the pizza tower comparison, and it makes me smile every time :)

and yes! mario wearing the spikey shell was one of the inspirations for the design of the Shellmet!

The movement felt super smooth and I would love to play more levels if you continue working on this project!

Developer

i'm glad to hear it! i had planned to add more levels and enemy variety before the end of the deadline but you know how that goes :)

This is super juicy and a lot of fun :D just wish the level layouts were a bit more challenging, for example it'd be fun to cross a huge gap. Other than that awesome submission, well done!

Developer(+1)

thank you!! that's fair, i wanted to keep it pretty open and easy so it would be less frustrating

perhaps i'll add some really hard levels in the future >:)

This was really good

Developer

thank you!
