Dude this game is fun asf holy good job man. I was just on this site for some sprite frames to put into Godot and saw this and thought y not give it a try. Glad I did!
The game is really good. Love the art, music and style. The pacing stresses me out, though, and not in a good way. At first I didn't understand why my shots were stopping since in the instructions it said "hold left mouse button". The very fast shots and long time waiting between recharging is a real turn down. I think having slower shots would help with that. Maybe less time between chargin also, so the player isn't idle for as long.
I also really like that you gave the option of moving with mouse or keyboard (:
Well, the ending hints at a secret ending that may not have been implemented - though dev hasn't responded to the question about secret endings, so maybe there is something?
If there is a secret, you don't get it by having a zero-damage run (just tried that), or by shooting the walls (tried) or, it seems, by having the enemies run into the walls.
Lo he jugado por poco tiempo pero me encanta por ese estilo retro y su simple pero adictiva jugabilidad me encantaría que se pudiera descargar aunque sea solo para Windows :D
Great game about firing magical energy at animals to defeat them and collect energy from them to power the torches. Not to mention, there are power-ups to boost your gameplay, such as magnets and health potions!
Great game! Vibes and mechanics work really well together! Some thoughts (I'm a game designer by trade, however please take these comments with a pinch of salt as I'm sure you're thinking of many ways to work and improve in your own awesome ways!): - First two levels drag on a little bit, since the variety in enemies is low. Consider making them a bit shorter.
- Love that shield makes you invulnerable for a fixed time, super useful when dealing with frog tongues coming at me! Makes me take more risky actions!
- Powerups overwriting each other when picked up means there's less player control. I might have 5 seconds left of level 3 shot powerup but it gets overrided by a shield, and it feels like I'm being punished for grabbing a powerup. Maybe a 'pocket' for you to put spare powerups when one is active would alleviate this issue?
- Having the Rhino bump into a certain wall at a certain time could reveal a secret room? Or flood the map with enemies? Rhino (and Frog) are super interesting as you can force them to interact with something based on your position, therefore tricking them into helping you do... something cool?
Wait did you literally just update it? I'm playing now and it works more expectedly! Haha! Also did you add ASWD controls or did I just miss it the first time around?!

I agree! Stage one for instance felt very sluggish because it wasn't too difficult and it was taking kinda long to kill the basic enemies.
fun game, I liked it a lot!
Thanx! :D

Great work!
The game is fun and doesn't drag on, a good balance
exactly my thoughts, short and sweet, i love it
The art style and gameplay are amazing!
fun ! Thanks !
Cool game
Hello! This was very fun!
I was wondering if there's a secret ending where you can find the artifact? Or maybe that's a plan for a future update?
This is a super fun little game, I love all of the art for it.
Doesn't open in web ): , only see a blank black screen and nothing else.
nice, reminds me of into the hole
correction: into the pit
I actually like eating chicken nuggets.
A lot of fun
Thanx! :)
I'm glad you liked it. I've been working professionally with pixel art for years. :)
Pretty fun! Love the look. I wish 1. magnets didn't override other powerups, and 2. bigger enemies were worth more.
Thanx!
1.Will be done in the new update.
2.I have ideas for some new enemies.
Wait did you literally just update it? I'm playing now and it works more expectedly! Haha! Also did you add ASWD controls or did I just miss it the first time around?!
Can't play on a trackpad :c
Unfortunately, the use of a mouse is important for the game. :/
