Very nice game. I wish everything would happen slightly slower - like you know, a little bit less gravity, slightly slower character and enemies. I would survive more haha. I really like how the game looks, pretty nice idea with the dream!

The one thing that caught me is that there are platforms you can't jump to, like in the bottom left corner. If you get stuck down there with enemies coming from the right, you can't get up. Unless there is a double jump or wall jump mechanic I couldn't figure out. Constructive criticism aside:
Very neat game, amusing premise, and _beautiful_ art! Gameplay was quick and smooth. Well done!

Really fun game, I had a good time playing it! I loved all the time polish and UX things. I noted the spawn animations, healthbar delta animation, store open/close animation.

The game ramps up difficulty really quickly and I could only ever make it round 4. My only feedback is that the coins were jumping all over the place and were hard to pickup at times.

22400 points here !
Really solid entry ! The game is very fun and juicy.
I praise the fact that coins don't despawn :laughing:
Amazing that you got to implement a shop with upgrades and different weapons too.
If I had too add one thing, it'd probably be more enemy types, although you most likely wouldn't have had the time.
Well done !

Really impressive game for a game jam time frame!
The polish is really nice, the graphics and audio are well done.

I think it'd be nice if your health restored after each round, and if we could the mouse sensitivity or something.

But overall really fun game!

@kirypto Yeah, so I thought locking off certain paths until you purchased the double jump upgrade was genius at the time. I'm not so sure how I feel about it now that I've slept lol. Thanks for the kind words and playing! :D

Hey! Super polished game but I found a bug, when jumping with the arrow keys I jump out of the screen. The graphics and sounds are pretty good, altogether a great entry! Keep it up!

Nice game. But the gravity and speed felt too fast thought. overall, nice textures and gameplay. Good Job!

Really cool jam game! I am like a previous commenter in that I got real stuck in the bottom corner and couldn't escape from the hordes of nightmare monsters. But the controls feel really good and the art is excellent. Great work!

Cheers for including WebGL build!

I really like how you handled the story. It's in the menu and it doesn't hamper the gameplay.

The gameplay itself is rather simple conceptually, but extremely polished and just fun to play.

Really well done!

Ahh, struggling to sleep, just like in real life.

Love to see action platformers! I think I found a small bug though. This is Safari on macOS. Please @ me if you have another build you want me to try!


Made it to round 5! So fun. The only thing is I wish that the coins were easier to pick up.

Enjoyed this a lot! Saw the same weapons and upgrades a lot but maybe that's just me, heh. Good work!

@shawn-moore ahahaha, oops...sorta forgot to put a limit on arrow keys, so you fly into space (I used wasd). I'll fix in the post jam build, thank you!

Good music and art, satisfying shot knockback (fun fact: You can fly with a machine gun) and of course interesting gameplay. Well done!

Cool game. You can play after you've died. Sometimes the kill counter counts the kills in advance, and sometimes it is not immediately updated

Fun game! I liked the graphics and sounds. It looks like Audio judging is turned off.

Everything felt very polished for the short timeframe.

Great job making a game in 72 hours!

Good execution! Very polished idea with nice art. The enemy spawn rate ramped WAY up, which made it super hard in the beginning when you have 0 upgrades. I also didn't like the camera system at all, it felt super disorientating, but that may have been a personal issue.

Just nitpicks though, those are the only two issues I had. Good game all around :)

reminds me of the original Risk of Rain
Very fun and polished gameplay loop. Definitely could use more guns and upgrade types though

Also, the graphics and music work very well together

Very good remake! What I would put is a larger screen size at start with or recommend full size. I mean, when playing I was seeing that the scaling was not adequate but the problem was not that, but not putting it on full screen. It is my recommendation. Still, great game!

nice art and music.. game feels solid.. had a headache from that shaky camera, though

Very satisfying particle effects and screen shake, good job!

Polished and feels great to play! Love all the different player feedback elements, the screenshake, weapon knockback, enemies flashing, particle effects. All looks great and comes together to give the game a lot of juice. Pixel art looks pretty good, sounds and music are solid, just a good all-around package.

Only negative thing I can add about what you have here is the difficulty curve feels a bit off, like it starts out really hard, gets a lot easier, then gets hard again. I think this is because extra jumps are so important for being able to escape tight spots, and the player doesn't start with any.

Other than that, had a great time and really enjoyed it!

Nice game, it's was realy fun to fly over the enemies with machinegun and huge attack speed. Sadly it's was too easy to kill any amount of enemies with this tactics.
Also, on round 7 the last enemy just didn't spawned.
Anyways, like this game, nice graphics and sound, fun to play.

Nice art, sound and some solid gameplay. Noice!

Had a blast, thanks! It really escalated with all the upgrades :D

You can still shoot after you died, which was quite funny

Jumping felt a bit weird. I always missed the platforms and fell down :( I gave up trying to get to the top of the level. Stayed mostly on the ground. Still a lot of fun though! Good job

Jump, fight, survive! :) Simple, but interesting! :) Good job! :)

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1448957657

Love those weird zoomy coins. Didn't love shop not pausing the timer but that's a design choice. I did manage to make it so Nelson will never wake up.

That was a blast! The sound effects were really great and sold the actions very well.

Only critique would be maybe a crosshair image that would stand out well on the screen. Moving my mouse back and forth, I lost my cursor image a few times (I lost track of it, not that it disappeared).

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!
