Adorable little game! I love the intro cutscene so much!! But the gameplay was a little simple and the swords hitboxes left a little to be desired... It would also have been nice if the attack was on a keyboard button aswell as left click cause i was using a trackpad and it was kinda awkward. That being said it was a good fun little game :)

I like the graphics and the intro. Cute little game but difficult :-)

Developer

Thank you for playing and commenting :3

Very cute. I feel bad that I kept making Bugsy die (I'm obviously awful at it). 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Don’t worry, Bugsy cannot die unless we stop believing in them…

Loved the little intro at the start! The gameplay was fun but really short! I really wanted more. I felt the collisions for the player might be a touch unforgiving? it was difficult to strike without getting hit. but overall I really had gun! great job!!

Developer

Thank you for playing and your feedback! I really want to improve the combat feel in the future if I find the time. We wanted to add different boss and character attacks..

Gameplay remembers me binding of isaac boss room :D

so i wanted more to explore because it s really short !

Nice introduction and tiny story :)

Developer

Binding of isaac was also one of our inspirations! Thank you for playing :)

Love these comic style stories whenever I see them in games. The gameplay was a fun little fight too. Short but enjoyable experience! 

Developer

Thank you for playing!

The art is amazing. I agree with comments below saying it reminds me of hollow knight. It was also not very easy to hit without getting hit. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing and your kind words! I’m glad it reminds people of hollow knight :)

sick art man. one look at the 5 lives and range made me instantly think of hollow knight!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing :) I love hollow knight, it was definitely one of the inspirations of bugsy

That story board was very cool and inspiring!

Developer

thank you for playing and your kind words!

Okay wow. I love the art so much!!! So much so that I had bugsy die so that I could see the death screen too 😌

Great submission guys!

Loved the intro scene, the game I just mashed the mouse button and seemed to win. One critique, I got stuck in the settings menu, I couldn't find a way to go back other than to refresh the page and restart.


Great work though! Well done.

Developer

Thank you for playing and sharing feedback! We had many more plans for the combat but had to cut stuff due to time. Initially, we envisioned the worm to burrow and leap out of the ground even.

P.S. The settings menu has an exit button... that is pretty much the same color as the background! That's on us :p Perhaps a future patch will improve Bugsy.

Intro scene art was so good I loved it. Awesome game

Developer

Thank you for playing! We also loved the intro scene art!

Submitted

Wow! When I started the game, the cut scene was pretty amazing! Then a boss fight and the end scene! Pretty well executed! I can see lots of potential here! 

Developer

Thank you for playing :)

I like the opening comic!

Developer

Thank you for playing & your kind words! I really like it too, I think our artist popped off.

Cool intro animation and the plot was also nice. Short yet polished as well.

Developer

Thank you for playing! This was my first ever jam and we aimed for completed game above all else. I'm really proud of Bugsy and everyone who worked on it :3

Interesting game, you have an intro animation, a settings menu, and the premise is interesting. Good job on making it. On feedback, mainly, there is no grace period after taking damage. The game is short, but there is a game. The music and art are good, but if you were to continue working on it, it seems you have a base. Good luck.                                                        (Also, add a fullscreen button for playing the game)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I really appreciate your feedback. 
We hadn't added fullscreen button because when you go fullscreen, it's just same small size game and black background :p I think due to something related to build settings or UI canvas scaling in Unity. Perhaps a few patches will arrive for Bugsy... we were buzzing with ideas during development but ended up cutting a lot of stuff to make time. I think such is the nature of game jams...? 
Thanks again for playing and commenting :3
