Whenever I start the game there are strange graphicbugs.

Very fun game, it looked very polished despite the absence of sound (which is understandable considering the amount of time you had). You found a smart way of using the theme of the jam that added a good challenge and I liked that the dash pushed the enemies, it was a nice touch (one small issue was that once I managed to push a slime behind a wall and had to wait for it to come out to kill it).

If I had to recommend a few additions, I believe it would be nice to be able to see your stats in real time (unless it was your goal to let the player use their instincts and memory). Maybe another stat like bullet size could be cool when you have to deal with swarms of enemies.

Anyway, really fun game, great job :)

Thanks for your nice and very good command / review

If I am honest the bug you found isn't something new for me but i sadly don't know how to fix it clean i made it a lillte bit better mut Unity....

and Thanks for the recommendations I think I will add both more or less in a  small futher update(Sound update)

But once again Thanks <3

Control was good, art style was distinct.

Ran into an error while navigating through to another room.

Shop items having mixed effects on you (and some unknown) was a very nice touch.

Very Good

thanks

This game is fantastic! Its a very fun experience, and the art in this game is quite nice. Its really well polished, my one suggestion is sound as by adding even some basic opensource sounds from jsfxr or something would really make the game even better. Amazing job!

big Thanks for the realy kind commend/ review.
For the sound i cant say something other than: "Your are 100% corecct" and thx for pointing out JSFXR. I forgat that program again..

:)

Really fun game. I liked the artstyle and thought the controls felt nice while playing. The only thing I can say is adding a few sound effects would make it even better. But great job!

First of all: Wow, the graphics and animations are beautiful! Sounds and music would have made the experience a lot better though.

The gameplay is also nice, but i feel like it misses something. I saw that you can push enemies, maybe make taht a more important mechanic, so that you for example have a weapon which you can push enemies with. Maybe this video is also helpful:

I hope the feedback helped you, would be really nice if you could check out my latest game too. :)

big Thanks for the realy nice Review, i think i will have the realy good video you send in the back of my head for my next game
so thanks again <3

This game was really fun! I honestly don't have much to criticize.

The art and transitions made the feel of the game very smooth.

I loved the gameplay, too. It's simple yet a lot of fun. You almost instantly get the hang of the game.

For the shop, at first, it was a bit confusing to me, but it didn't take long for me to understand how it worked and the abilities of the potions. The help menu was highly appreciated!

The only suggestion I have would be to add some sound effects and music to make the game feel more alive, but as you said, you didn't have much time left, so it's understandable.

Overall, this game was great! It had simple and fun gameplay, interesting abilities from the shop, and great art combined with sleek transitions!

Thanks for the very nice review. I just have to start thinking about the sound Design and give it a place in my time management.
