The art is great and the setting feels unique as well. I I hope some more people discover this in the final 30 minutes of the jam and give you the number of rating you need.
The art is so punk, I love it!
This game has a little je ne sais quoi. I managed to finish the game with the bunny lady.
A few quick improvements:
- When you kill all the units in a sequence, it doesn’t trigger the next sequence, so you have to wait until new units appear.
- The music in the shoot ’em up part of the game stops after a while.
I had a lot of fun with this game! I love the art and music. The XP and level-up mechanics fit the genre really well. Good idea!
It's a nice mix between cute and gritty art style and the pixel background makes the characters pop out more. The dialogue is super fun, props to whoever wrote it.
Sadly I couldn't get past the first level because I was always dying around the 60% progression mark. Having the shield have an inverted control from the aim, but switching between shooting and blocking felt awkward so most of the time I tried weaving the bullets. Since I didn't get very far I also couldn't see how the theme was integrated.
Still the gameplay felt very solid and it looks dope. GJ
Love the art style! And it was pretty cool to play this type of game! I will suggest to make more feedback of if you have shot it or not, as it wasn't that much obvious, same for when we receive damage. But other than that, great job!!
Great art, the gameplay was unexpected (I didn't read the inspiration) but it was good! I was confused about the shield behind me for a bit lol. I would've liked to get to see the next town.
Love the cyber punk street rat vibes here! I really suck at shooting games but I found this fun because of how chaotic it got :D
