I've got you covered! The download should be there now.

This game brings back memories of early 90s games for me. I like the music and the ad placement mechanic is fun.

This game is good, and it shows a lot of promise.

Everything about how it looks and sounds is perfect, but I think there are a few things about the gameplay that could be improved.

1. The prisms take too long to kill for just being roadblocks

- If they also shot back at you, that would be cool, but otherwise I would make them satisfying to destroy, like pots from the LOZ games

If they had coins in them or health-ups that would be awesome

2. I want to keep the tri-shot upgrade even after I get hit

3. Make the ad placement more significant

- one easy way to do this would be to make it so you can have only 1 or 2 ads down at a time, but they block all bullets until the ad's HP is depleted.


With all that said, bravo to you and your team, Cedric! Especially considering this is your first game jam!

Thanks for the feedback!
The ad mechanic could've been pushed more, but you know how the jam life is lol
We had fun, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Gotta sink my teeth into more jams sometime

You're welcome!

Yes this is my first jam too but I fully understand the term 'jam life' hahaha

The gameplay is good and so is the music. I think both the theme and special object implementation is lacking. The turret is just an enemy and the ads could easily be replaced by something else so they are not very meaningful. I did like that the ads were implemented in the story however.

Thank you for playing!

You might be right. We could've tried to push the ad mechanic more. And we did take the easy route with the turrets.  I'm glad you enjoyed the game still!

Very cool gameplay concept, I can see it being a fun bullet hell if the kinks are worked out. One thing I would suggest is adding more info about how the ad mechanic works in the game description, as I was initially confused as to what placing an ad does, and that's the coolest part of the game. Good job guys!

Thank you! And thanks for the heads-up. I can update the description to hint at it, maybe.
