This game is such a treat - Engaging, creative, with an aesthetic and identity all its own. Really nice work from a clearly talented team!

i accidentally played for 3 hours straight and I thought it was maybe 10 minutes,,,,, best game everrrrrrr

A nice little game that can entice, but not for long :)

Lacks any variety to keep you motivated to keep playing. 

The style is cool, it's made with quality. Game design needs some more work and more content to be added

The sounds are nice and the music fits the setting of this game

I spammed and crashed the game after leveling up to level 16. Good game.

Nice game. the soundtrack is also very amazing.

Went up to lvl 10 on my first try before i stopped, great game and great concept!

Great game!

GREAT GREAT game and concept guys and only in 48 hours.


i'm not gonna say much the amazing ppl here addressed everything already, i just wanna say that if you add a cooldown on the jumping and you could lower it through upgrades maybe is gonna be fun since balancing the jumping is crucial. and maybe having an enemy that will stick you to the grounf with slow and limit your jump is a cool idea as well


i'm really hoping to see a full version of this  

thanks a lot! the full version is coming to Steam soon and indeed has a rebalanced jumping :)

oh please YES, i can’t wait already !!!

Really nice game, I made it to level 6, and I killed 158 on my first attempt at this so yea, very nice visuals as well :)

thank!

(+1)

Made it to level 22.. full disclosure. I only lost because I grabbed an auto clicker at 20 and stopped paying attention. Kinda wish I had my kc though.

(+1)

Also btw, Best start- Spam while jumping for heals, Shotguns and snipers are great I guess, 6 ammo is cool, then add size till your comfy, Health is decent too later, More room for error

thank you for playing! yeah unfortunately the jam version can be juiced pretty easily

1936 kills, it nonstop. cool

(+1)

super cool! got to 704 kills.

Wow, this was a lot of fun!

thank you!

Those god damn pesky gnomes, no matter how hard you try, you just can not get rid of them. 

thanks for playing haha!

first try i got level 4 with 71 kills

and i didn't jump once ._.

but why the  ._.?

because i finally realized that jumping existed afterwards, and that jumping would have made it so much easier

(1 edit)

Lol same, level 5 and 108 kills or smthn

I feel like limiting or removing the bigger bullets upgrade would improve the balancing, but great game otherwise!

Fun concept!

Great concept and very refined for 48 hours! I could defintiely see this being expanded into a full version :)

(+1)

thanks for playing! was very fun to watch your reactions haha 

Glad you liked it :)

(+1)

i love this game! perfect blend of chaos and fun <33

This was a lot of fun. Wonderful job!

thanks a lot for playing!

download-able version plays in a very tiny window and my cursor jumps outside it too often. Art, impacts and animations are pretty pretty. Lacks explanation or tactics but maybe it was just me.

(+1)

use Alt + Enter to fullscreen. also true, in the update abilities are going to have descriptions underneath them

(+1)

Amazing quality for a jam game, your games are always great

(+1)

flattered thanks  :)

Fun stuff! Just WAY too easy. At a certain point it was no longer a test of skill, but a test of endurance. Also, the Bigger Bullet upgrade is absolutely BUSTED, past like level 5 it was the only upgrade I ever took, and I was just demolishing. Very fun, just work a bit on balancing.

I got this crash during gameplay

other than that it was fun but i accidentally clicked the help text in the beginning away and then just randomly clicked and found the spam exploit

(+1)

thanks this has been fixed now!

Proscriptively speaking my biggest piece of feedback was that it felt to chaotic, and I could just spam to survive forever. Do with that what you will, but my recommendation would be limiting how many dice I can throw so that I have to put each one to good use. Or you could even add two dice that I choose which one I roll, so I can save a useful shotgun roll till I think I need it. And I do recommend you stick with this, you've got a genuinely good game on your hands, not even just a good one for the jam. Were this expanded into a full on roguelike with all the obvious more interesting upgrades and rooms and stuff I'm sure you already have ideas for I could see myself putting down a few bucks for this. 

thanks a lot for your feedback! luckily I've been able to fix the spam issue by rebalancing and limiting the amount of clicks in a second (weird I know but works just fine haha) 2 dices is a really cool idea, I'll keep it mind :)

Looks great, sounds great, and plays great. The balancing could use some tuning though. The game got a lot less interesting when i realized i could progress by just spamming the mouse buttons on the hearts and stay around full health forever.

I also don't think the dice upgrades were very exciting. Unocking the sniper is cool, but it's kind of unclear why you'd want the others. I'm assuming they increase the probability of getting that type, but it's kind of underwhelming compared to the much more tangible effect of bigger bullets or more ammo and health especially when all the types are useful.

Considdering it's a Jam game, it's seriously impressive when those are the only issues.

thank you i totally agree with all of these, sadly couldn't fix such balance problems in such short time but definitely gonna consider that for the future deveopment

Wow pretty good game!!!

very cool and fun ! the only thing that bother me a little was the fact that i can choose the direction of the jump, wich appear weird to me because the walk is automatic.

ah well, it was a bit frustrating without it so i thought it could help control the situation a bit better

(+1)

yes it does actually !
