Great job!! Controls can be a bit hard at times but manageable. Love the art! Reminds me of Nuclear Throne and Gun Slugs.
Great work on your first ever jam entry! I actually enjoyed the grappling hook, I thought it was actually a really cool mechanic and fun to fly around with it.
I think it would of been cool to always have it as a secondary item. So you could just be bouncing around and blasting away while switching back and fourth. :-D
So glad you liked the grappler! It was something I wanted to add from the start of the game jam. We also tried adding an inventory but it wasn't intuitive and had to be scratched. A single slot felt more challenging :P
Fun pixel art, love the platform shoot 'em up combo : )
got stuck in the wall with the sucktioncup gun..
Thank you! Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to make the grappling gun stable, so it's quite glitchy at the moment.
I truly love this game. I love platformers and pixel-art. It's perfect fit for me :) very good. great work ;)
Thank you! DaveH355 and I worked really hard on it :D
