Nice one. This is very much a solid shooter and I very much enjoyed playing it.

The controls are superb! Combined with the sound effects and the balancing act of shooting and picking up bitlives and opening chests, the game is rewarding.

I was a bit sad, when it ended. You hit the theme very well and there's a lot of potential. Would have loved to dig a bit deeper.

Was a lot of fun, good level design and I like the sound it makes when you hit the enemies (sounds like it is saying "bruh"). Funny intro too, good job!

Nice little game
I had some glitches/slowdown at starting but then was ok

graphics need polishing and maybe some more love

theme fitting is ok

Gameplay is immediate and clean in the structure

Overall I had fun for a couple of minutes

Thanks for your work!

Compo games are supposed to be by a single person :/ Did you mean to enter it in the jam?

It was fun to play, simple but efficient. Could be more imporeved in collisions system (with the crate)
You fit the theme ok, but yo ucan do better with this type of game!
Graphics are good, but as @memel06 said, graphics needs love even if you don't have the time :yum:
But the game is here, and you have to be proud of the job you done there !
Keep the good work!
Could be good if you do a post_jam version!

It is funny to shoot the enemies with my money/life. But when I am busy dealing with the enemies, I may forget to pick up the coins first and keep shooting until I am dead.
Maybe it will be better If the coins get to the character automatically.

Cool game, i like the idea that you shoot with your life!

My suggestions to improve the game:
* You should be able to press with a mouse button on the startscreen, especially as you need to press a mouse button in the subsequent dialogue.
* Enemies should not be able to go through walls and out of map.
* I did not know that you shoot with your life and assumed that lifecoins just go down over time, and shot too much useless bullets. I think you should indicate that mechanic in the intro, or on the ludumdare website.

I liked the game, the graphics and the music. Apart for some wall glitchness and sometimes enemies spawned on top of you, it was cool

I'd suggest adding a shop system to buy better weapons. Also I wish there was a reason to actually slay enemies. Right now you don't get much by doing so. In my first run I lost at the last level, in my second one I avoided all enemies and won with 70 coins to spare.

This game would be really interesting to speedrun. Add more levels because I'd love to play more of this.

Good, but if you try you can just run through levels.

I liked how the intro said literally everything I need about the game and the story haha
The gameplay is a bit too simplistic though and a bit too literal to the briefing. Nonetheless, it's a fine entry, good job to you and your cousin :)

Good job. It was fun, I do wish you could hold to fire repeatedly and the sound effects felt a bit off. Mainly coins, you want that to sound satisfying. Well done I enjoyed it.

I think the idea was pretty cool, the was very solid and both the soundtrack and the art were great. The only thing that bothered me was enemies just popping in rooms, but with all the time constraints u guys had the execution was pretty awesome

I finished the game without big challenges. Maze Graphics could be better with little time for sure. I really like the "blobs" graphics, animations and burp sounds. I didn't figure I can shot at the first run. Continue the good job.
