So cute game. Art is amazing. Good job

This looks so good! You've done a great job with your colour palette, and the characters are very endearing. Love the music too. It's fun gameplay - as some have said the hitboxes (of the horizontal waves) are a bit unforgiving, but otherwise the execution is great. Nice job on this!

Thanks so much for playing! we're glad you enjoyed it :)

Very pretty game. I do feel the gameplay could have used some polishing, the jump arc seems unnecessarily narrow for the sizes of some attacks, the arena could have been bigger (either through a smaller scale of the boss/items/PC or by having some horizontal scrolling) and the PC could use some acceleration/deceleration to make movement more interesting and a bit less stiff.

Also some things that damage you look way too much like power-ups for my taste, but if that's on purpose I can respect a little bit of player-trolling :p.

Developer

we will look into it, of course there are a lot of things that need to be polished and a lot of other things that couldn't be done taking into account it's only two of us in the team, and we had a very short period of time to produce this. thanks for playing tho!

Love the visuals, I really like the mechanic of grabbing ammo from the boss itself, super fun!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the mechanic, it seems to have had a mixed reception from what I can tell

Really good music and visuals, I had a lot more trouble with the 1st boss than the second just because the hurtbox is so wide and it was hard jumping between the projectiles. Overall very good for a short and sweet boss rush. I'd appreciate if you left our game a rating as well!

Developer

Thank you for playing! 
I'll take a look at your game :)

While the hamster feels unreasonably hench for the screen and I would like some way to regain health (if there is, sorry!), the concept is very fun, the music is good and the art is very cute and polished! Overall a fun jam game! Fun take on the theme as well :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your comments! There's currently no way to regain health, but there will be in the future!

Really nice boss fight! The controls could feel a bit smoother, and it wasn't always immediately clear where the hitboxes were when avoiding attacks.

Still, the idea is really cool, and the art style is original and very eye-catching.

Developer

Thank you for playing, and for the feedback!
Just out of curiosity, which hitboxes did you have problems with? This has been mentioned a few times, so I might as well start taking notes of the details.
