Donut? check. Flying? check. Epic 3d models and graphics? check. Multiplayer?? check!?!?! What! this game has it all. Well done!

This gam is hilarious! I had lots of difficulties finding weapons though, I don't know if it was a bug or not.

Definitely an original idea and fun to play! Nice work!

This game is an absolute blast, and I was dying laughing while playing. Absolutely absurd, but in just the best way for a game. Thanks for submitting.

I liked that I could use the shotgun to boost my speed by shooting behind. Cool concept, nice work. The menu was also a nice touch.

What a nightmare for an officer...
Loved the fantastical music. Fit well with the silly mouth-made sounds. The laser beam to keep players moving was a great idea.
Think I killed myself with the shotgun more than the enemies did.

It was fun after you figured out the mechanics. Was suprised that some weapons had recoil and i died from that a couple of times :) Good work!

nice detail when the marshmallow melts from the firebar

First of all, I have to say the rocket launcher sound effect is absolutely amazing. The game is full of nice touches, like the intro sequence, the fluid effect on the oil, the reflection maps, and even the main menu! Gameplay wise it's pretty solid, maybe the shotgun recoil is a bit too much, I think it can be a lot of fun in multiplayer (I couldn't try it this time).

Good job on this contribution :smile:

great interpretation for the theme i like it, but i recommend for the enemies to spawn in a safe area because sometimes they spawn on the player

Really fun and very creative!
On top of all of what people already liked above, which I agree with, I loved the tiny little donut in your character's hand <3

Very fun game. I have no idea, what could be wrong!

The game is really nice, I really enjoy to play. I could only think of one improvement:
Add some description on each prop, like the marshmallow, the candles, and the meteors. Maybe a page explaining what you should avoid and some brief stories for each. idk... the game is very cool =D

Loved it! It's weird in a way I like it. You even managed to make it a nice multiplayer game. Very nice, keep up!

Game is epic time killer! Really enjoyed with sound design, level design and characters design! Very very good!

Nice game - I like the music, it fits the whimsical atmosphere. Also, that shotgun recoil though!
I didn't get very far, I usually get knocked off very quickly, so my high score right now is 1500.

What a lovely fever dream this was. Delightful in most ways, interesting in the rest.

Well done on completing the game. The only rational feedback I can give is maybe tone down the shotgun knockback.

Congrats on finishing a game for the jam!

Wow, I was wondering what I could do with that blender 3D donut tutorial that I made, but you figured it out! Put a policeman on top of it, shoot candy canes with rocket launches and don't get hit by giant flamethrowers. Well done!

Not a bad idea! I enjoyed the twist on top down bullet hell games, and having to constantly outrun the barrier. The visuals felt a little disjointed- I don't know why I was looking at candy canes and such on a donut- but a well made, well programmed unique take on the theme.

First, I LOVED the intro. Such a nice job. Kind of addictive. Just feeling kind of sick now with the spinning. 100% for the theme haha!

This was a good time, the music was perfect

I love the fact that we are on a donut!! It was overall really fun, but sometimes I would kill something that would push me over the edge after it was dead. Nevertheless, it was a really enjoyable game and it was cool how we can customize the controls!

Oh my goodness, this overwhelmed all of my senses, but in a good way :laughing:

This game is very fun and well polished! Although enemies can spawn right next to you which can be a bit unfair. But I love the visuals music and the menus!

Really original and funny concept. Nice 3D models and fitting music.

That's very strange game but also addictive, I couldn't stop playing and was saying to myself like "Wtf? Why am I doing this?" haha Nice job!

I see this game can be addictive. Music fits it very well, feels nice. Graphics could be improved a bit, but also are not bad.

As you said: "another game themed after a torus shaped wheat product" :9 and a a good one at that, i loved the sound effects and the menu!

Unique! I found that the best way to deal with the enemies was to just scoot on by them and let the laser sort them out. The weapons didn't feel particularly useful. Still some fun to be had.

Cute and creative! I love the music as well as the art style! It's so cool that I can use many kinds of weapons to prevent myself. The enemies are cute and funny. Looks like I am a donut policeman? haha. I appreciate your game!

Cool weird universe!

Here are my feedback:

_Positive points
- Good SFX
- The character controls well
- Good animations and music
- The donut is pretty :D

_Negative points
- Hard to aim, I think that you should add a cursor in order to improve the precision
- The recoil of the weapons are too strong, I died too many times because of that

Overall: gg for your work! I did 1200 at best!

Funny and original interpretation of the theme!

This is a really clever take on the theme. I never would have thought of having a survival shooter on a doughnut.

It took me a second to realize I didn't have a weapon but I got the hang of the gameplay fairly quickly. The shotgun was super tough to use but I like the challenge.

The laser/fire beam going across the doughnut really created a lot of tension but was also a great way to get rid of some candy canes.

Nice work!

Incredibly clever! Not sure how you came up with this, but great idea.

I spent a fair bit of time playing this game so that should tell you something. It just kept drawing me back. I think the music may have put me in a trance. Really enjoyed it though.

Your game seems to taste good hahaha. Your idea was very creative, I liked your interpretation of the theme. The graphics are beautiful, and the gameplay is cool. The sound is ok. It's fun to defeat evil sweets that want to bring you down hahaha. Good job.
