Game was good, punching missiles was excellent.

Super fun! Very nice visuals and the melee attack felt really clean. Nice work!

I could have been improving my score forever but I stopped at 1830pts XD

Cool soundtrack and smooth melee control! I really like the part that I can punch these ninjas mid-air to prevent them from damaging my pickles, which makes the game more strategic. The small mechanic that the character steps forward when she attacks is also great. These details make the combat smooth and polished.

Nice entry!

Nice pixel art, love the color palette. Gameplay feels nice and punchy with satisfying freeze frames, crisp sound effects, great music. I wish there were more variety in attacks or ennemies but this is already a lot of fun.

Good job, go pickles!

Smacking the bad guys and the rockets feel really good, you have some nice feedback effects for the player there. As others have mentioned, the color palette is really good and I like all of the pixel art sprites. I had a lot of fun playing, managed to get about 800 points. Well done!

I might just be too good, but I believe I could've played this forever without losing. I reached 3,000 points with the truck still at full health, and I had to intentionally die just to see the run end. I think this game needs some form of increasing difficulty. Make the guys spawn faster. Spawn 2 at a time. Anything!

Anyway, I recorded myself playing to provide extra feedback. Here you go:

I like your game! The visuals and music design seem very solid! I also like how the controls are layed out, its a "pick up and go game" :-)

Some feedback/questions I've got:
- right now you made it impossible to fall off the truck, that could have been a nice additional hazard
- the soundeffect for damaging the truck sounds very realistic, how did you make that?

Really fun game to play! Overall art and sounds are amazing! Got it to 2000 points and let them destroy the truck, maybe a difficulty increase overtime would be more challenging but it was really satisfying to attack the ninjas! #SaveThePickles

Love the sunset background for the game and the addition of music! I especially like the animation frame that occurs when the bad guys are punched off the truck and they have wide open eyes. I found it very funny :D. Also I find it interesting that my punches seem to slow down when actually attacking bad guys versus punch the mid air. Not sure if it's just my imagination but if that's true it seems inconsistent. Regardless, nice work on getting this all done for the COMPO!
:

✔️ Great pixel graphics!

✔️ Intuitive gameplay.

✔️ Pickles.

➖ Got a bit boring after a while - maybe increase the difficulty?

⭐ Overall: PICKLESS!!!!!!!

Really fun for the first couple minutes; I wish it got harder or had an ending of some sort. Got over 5000 points before I just let them kill me. Loved the groovy music.

@Wouter52 Thanks for playing! :smile:

- Yeah, I was actually in the process of making a much harder difficulty mode, with a faster enemy increase curve and letting you fall off of the truck, but ran out of time. Based off of what I've read, that frankly should've been the normal mode, the difficulty curve is a little slow and the challenge could def be upped.


- I found an old heavy DVD player sitting around, so I took a microphone, hit record and started hitting / throwing things at it and mixed, matched and modified the results.

Cool little action game. Graphics are quite, and the music is great !
Solid entry for a compo game, well done.

Visuals are great! Gameplay was simple and fun - loved the sunset background :)

i thgouth the sprites were really cool and the premise was original and cute

Intuitive and simple gameplay and controls! The music and the visuals are great! The sound effects and the animation make each hit feel so nice. I enjoy being the violent Jillian giving punches!

I love pixel art games and your art design is great. The music is perfect, and the sound effects are also very good! The controls are so easy to pick up that I started playing right away, not noticing at first that the enemy was actually hitting my container instead of me. Hope you continue to create this game and I would like to see more enemies and attack moves.

This game has pretty epic music ngl (also pickles)

Super good looking game, pleasant to play, I managed to get just above 2000 of score, it was kinda addictive.
Really solid entry, well done!

Very pretty game. I loved the graphics. Would definitely like a bit of a difficulty curve as it got easy and repeatative afterwards. Overall though, great job!

I like the vapourwave style background and the music was real nice too! It was nice and vibey but also fit the combat. Speaking of, the combat and controls felt good! Really responsive and the fighting animation for the main character was pleasant too! I found that the enemies didn't seem to do much fighting-wise, just stood there and let me knock them off. Seriously though, an excellent game!
