Humorous games are always tough for me because it's hard to take them serious when reviewing. If I was to find this game on steam for a dollar and play it, I'd probably play the first level, crack up at the introduction and skip button, beat it, then once I started the second level and realized its more or less the same... I'd quit. For a jam though I try to understand more what you were trying to achieve as devs. \n\nThe humor and aesthetic design is VERY memorable but the problem is, if you don't have a gameplay hook that's interesting in any capacity you'd better be prepared to have an extremely consistently funny game, or players wont bother sticking around to beat the 2nd level that plays pretty much the same as the first, UNLESS you are keeping the humor up WHILE the gameplay is happening. Even then that's tough and games that do it well, like \"High on Life\" for example, still struggle to keep players playing to the end, because the gameplay just doesn't hold player attention.\n\nAnyways, I guess to summarize: if your goal was to create a funny, aesthetically interesting game, then well shit I played the game because the thumbnail looked cool and I definitely laughed at the hamster facecam so mission accomplished \ud83d\ude02","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1207860,"author_name":"Seong","author_uid":"seong","epoch":1776903437,"text":"Fire gameplay and hilarious writing. \"Father, come in! Come in! Come in, Father!\" had me cracking up as I blasted heretics into little mince pies -15HP at a time. But the RMB charge attack didn't seem to work for me, it just does the same shotgun attack. Also crosshairs would have been great since it was hard to see where I'm aiming. The pacing was fast and exciting and the shift-to-run QOL feature was nice to have. I think enemies should have less health (might be better if they were one-shot) so that it's quicker to get through the game once you get good, instead of having to linger to take them down before progressing. That would really amp up the run and gun adrenalin rush.
