I loved the graphics here. The theme was also on point. I really liked the balance of attack the right enemies but don’t hurt what you shouldn’t be shooting.

If anything, I would have loved to be able to slow down my movement a little especially when boss patterns got a little too tight. But overall, really enjoyable, and it makes me want to include a boss rush mode with my games going forward!

Developer

Thanks a lot, yes I think I went for a medium speed but might as well make it a tiny bit faster but with a button to slow down next time.

The art style is great! The music reminds me very much of touhou which is perfect haha. It was very hard for me to avoid the casualties xD But I am not good in bullet hell in general. Overal great game :) 

Developer

Thanks, yes I shoot all these poor skydivers myself too, in general managing to at least not destroy a building is nearly enough to stay under the required amount but even that's not always easy in the action.

Really cute graphics and an amazing relaxing sound. The framerate made it a bit trippy and i'd love so more animation on contact, but overall, it's an amazing entry

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

I absolutely loved your game—the hand-drawn graphics, the music, the enemies, the theme, everything is perfect. I have nothing to criticize... please finish it! =)

Developer

I probably won't but thanks a lot anyway ;) .

I really love the art style. Was it done digitally, or traditionally and scanned?
Overall, I love everything about this entry. Thank you so much for submitting this one.

The boss rush is definitely my favourite thing of the game jam. 10/10
It is super fun, challenging and you get to see cool bosses.

Developer

Thanks a lot, all made by hand and scanned yes. Based on the comments it seems the boss rush was a good idea although I was rightfully told by family it's a bit cheating as people should work their way through the different endings if you want to see them ;) .

Loved the art style so much! Also, I love the casualty system a lot, it definitely fits the theme very well!

Developer

Thanks a lot, I'm happy a lot of people seem to like the casualty system as I feared everybody would simply think it's annoying.

Nice visuals, great music, making everything without an engine is very impressive! I think the game goes from 0 to a 100 a bit too fast, the very early enemies shooting less or slower would be appreciated, but overall incredible work.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I agree the screen might get flooded a bit too much too fast.

Very cool! I love the paper / crayon art style, really interesting! and what a brand, I'd be interested to see what else Misunderstood man get's up to (RPG Inc?)

Haha, now I wonder if he's the kind who might want to create his own competitor league to the Superhero League of Hoboken.

Thanks!

How do you feel about the name 'The Somewhat Irregular Fellows League' XD

I'm stealing it!

Very cute artstyle, good theme, hella hard and lotsa stuff to do. Great game!

Also a very unconventional engine, I am suprised you did all of this in only 10 days

Developer

Thanks a lot! 

I never looked at a game engine so I don't even know what I'm missing, it seems that as long as it's in 2d I manage to do what I want to do with base Java. However the only one time I made some 3d thing, directly using direct 3d library, it was super overwhelming though so if I ever work with 3d again then I will, it might not happen though as it was not related to one of my games and I'm not specially interested in making 3d games.

Awesome game.  So much fun and so cute!  I had so many casualties. .haha.  Overall 5 stars. Great Job! 

Developer

Thanks a lot, yes I think a lot of poor skydivers were killed during this jam.

Hi,

I recently played both the normal mode and the boss rush mode of your game.

The game looks really cool and stands out with its very unique and funny visuals. The art style is quite creative and adds a lot of personality to the gameplay experience.

The sound design is good too, complementing the visuals nicely. However, I did find the screen a bit overloaded at times, which made it slightly challenging to keep track of everything happening. A bit more clarity or reduction in visual clutter could improve the experience.

The concept of having different bosses based on the casualties is very interesting and fits the game jam theme perfectly. It adds a strategic element to the game, encouraging players to think carefully about their actions and the consequences.

Overall, you've done a fantastic job. I really enjoyed playing your game and appreciate the effort and creativity that went into making it. 

Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to seeing what you create next :)
