this game is cool and art is so Amazing!
Reminds me of the atmosphere of Cuphead.
Nice Job!
Very beautiful game, congratulations.
This is probably one of the nicest looking games in the jam.
I felt the gameplay was a bit simple. The enemies don't move much, and the shot patterns don't change. Some power ups would spice things up as well.
Really great art, like literally wow. Did you draw it all for this game?? Gameplay being lacked a little because there wasn't anything in particular that stood out as unique. Howeverrrrr, the polish and art really overshadows everything else! You guys did really well on developing a solid game in the allotted time that had good gameplay and really good art! Nice Job!
Wow. Your words are really appriciated. Thank you so much für your encouraging feedback :-D
Yes, was drawing (almost) everything for this game - have an ever growing library of hand-drawings from other Jams, but even for them I am taking my time to adjust and edit them for each particular usage. I took a picture of my work on Sunday - as you can see, often I am only drawing parts and "stitch" them together digitally in Krita - it's a holistic process :-) The drawing and painting was so much fun. It felt almost effortless, because Willem took over everything so perfectly into the game, that we both came into a very productive and enjoyable flow.
dang that’s so cool that it’s hand drawn like that. Very awesome :)
The gameplay was fun, but the real highlight is the art. It was super adorable, and I couldn't help smiling while playing. The soundtrack you chose perfectly matches the feel too. Very fun to play, I have to say again just how much I love the art.
A fun shooter with a great core premise! 8/10. Also when I tried to go for a better score it just showed me my first score.
Thank you :-) Yeah, the Highscore needs some more care. You can see your result behind the UI blocker, but unfortunately the modal is showing the old score.
Really loved the game! First thing that caught my eye was the art style! It's super cute and fun to look at while playing. Game felt slow at first but for sure felt like it was picking up in speed as I kept playing longer. Awesome work!
very nice graphics. Super cute and fun game.
Very polished game for 3 days of development. I loved the colors
Cool look, smooth gameplay, really like the use of buzzing without it sounding annoying
The visuals are stellar, I absolutely love the art style (and yes, it also reminded me of Cuphead). This is a solid and polished entry, and an overall very enjoyable experience.
I like that there are health pickups along the way. And wow, there are so many different types of enemies.
Good job!
Thank you - really appreciate your encouraging feedback!
Talking about different types of enemies. There is one "ugly duckling" I am calling "Brownie" who didn't make it into the game. Let me use the chance to lift him here in the comments on to the stage. He might not be the prettiest, but he is a kindhearted guy with a lovely nature.
Oooof, this rules. The soft shadows showing low flight, the beautiful patter and sparkle of the sfx. The artwork is INCREDIBLE and feels hand drawn. Everything is tight and tuned well and feels fun to navigate.
I really loved the music too (not sure if it was original)
Bravo to your team!
Wow. What can I say ... thank you so much for your feedback. It is highly appreciated! You make a Tiger very happy with that today :-)
Very beautiful game!
The parallax effect, the shadows, the polished graphics,
playing this was a real enjoyment!
Well done for three days!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words. The 3 days were intense, but as everything lined up so well (thanks to Willem who did an amazing dev job, also with handling all my feedback like "please move it up, oh, now scale it a little down!") it was so much fun that it felt almost effortless!
Oh wow, that's amazing you found such an awesome team mate!
Fun game! I love the art style (didn't realize it was hand drawn until I saw the discord post) and the game feels good to play.
Art style is beyond gorgeous!
The animations are so smooth, and the colours used feel so bright and happy!
Almost gives me Cuphead vibes, the cute visuals smashed with a darker narrative under the surface.
Thanks a lot! I feel so honored that it almost gives you Cuphead vibes - in my oppinion this is one of the best-looking games out there.
