Definitelly needs better feedback for when you're hitting enemy (really early on i got the lightning weapon, and it took me too much time to understand it was actually a weapon). On the plus side, the basic shooty weapon made me go "WHOOO", because it was fast and cool looking.

Hit feedback would be great. I think all of the projectiles move WAY too fast. I can't dodge things AND shoot things at the same time at this speed. Was fun for a short while, though.

The character moves a little slow and could do with a boost. Relatively fun. Good Work :D

Fun, I don't think the lack of hit feedback was too bad.

Nice job pulling some stock assets together into a slick overall package.

It didn't feel quite fluid enough for a shooter for my taste, but I'm not quite sure in what way... maybe a little too slow for the main character moving I guess, relative to the bullets. Or maybe it was the way the enemies were a bunch of hits.

Still, really solid entry for a first LD, congrats!

Hope you enjoyed your first LDJAM. It was a hard entry, which fits the genre of the game quite well. I really liked that I could hold down Z and not have to spam it. I don't know if it was possible to kill the enemies or just destroy boxes. I don't know if I killed any. So to make it clear what you can kill I think a health bar next to stuff you just hit would be neat. Either that, or powering up the weapon so you kill almost everything with one or two shots. Good feel in general besides that.

I agree, more feedback to let you know you are hitting something, but cool game!

Felt like some player feedback would have enhanced the experience but overall a solid entry and congrats on your first LD!

I think the enemies are a little too honed in, but it would be fine if the crates dropped health. I also found that after getting the electric buff that it pretty much never went away.
