It's very short, but the polish, amazing graphics and tight controls, as well as some funny jokes make the game great.

Cool idea. Nice feeling controls and nice art

Plenty short enough to get both playthroughs in, nice job with the twist on the first ending. :P

I can definitely see what you mean by the polish on this game! Stylewise and graphically it looks great, and the beats are rocking too. Nice scope and execution for LD!

EDIT: Ohhhhhhhhh my god. I just realized how the theme comes into play here. That's devlish!

The polish is on the another level - screen shake, bullet knock back, particle on collision, parallax background and a hip sound track. The double twist is one of my favorite moment of this jam

I read the description, and was really curious what I was getting myself into. Well played 🤣
Nice secret ending too - to find it, you need to remember the theme of the jam.

"This game is so polished, I can see my face in it!"

Yea that was a bad joke, but your game is very funny! 5 stars in humor


Such a great game! We need more levels please!

I absolutely love the twist on the theme. Well played, really well played.

Here's a thing though: We Germans don't use QWERTY, we have QWERTZ, and I don't even know how a Frenchman would play this game without breaking all of his fingers at once.

My kind of Humor and i love the environment Design <3

Visually very well done. The controls and UI/Start screen feels super polished. The enemies feel more like target practice since they don't really move. It feels like a tutorial more than a game. Great work! Keep it up!

Super well polished, impressive for a 48hr Job! Bravo.

The polish here is incredible. Couldn't stop laughing at the jokes either haha. Great job!

Keyboards out for dobo-rambe

I liked the gun recoil, music and endings.
I wondered what did I did wrong? I just had to remember the LD theme.

Small game, but really well done! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/eHokHalkfT0

I wonder if there's any message to this one :thinking: very funny. Sad that it's short though, I'd have loved to actually play it!

Nice overall package. I liked the twist in the message :) Got both endings!

The feel of the game is pretty solid! The knockback from the shooting the gun felt a bit too much however. Not a lot of shooting was involved so I guess it's okay?

Amazing, it's no Victor Spumante but the amount of polish is nice!
Loved the music!

I love that this is a pacifist shooter, I had to walk back on my initial behavior once I got the gun. The music is catchy and the graphics are well done. Great use of the theme overall and I liked the newspaper too. --Anna

I liked it!!
I knew there was something fishy so I try to replay it and find somethnign else... And DAMN you did it!
I laughed, so great job!
The knockback with fire is kinda tricky at first but hey, all guns have it :D

Great job!!

My teammate Anna said I had to try this game, and she was correct. I loved it. Great message, and we love games that teach a moral lesson. Well done! -- Zen

Small game but very promising!
Just the sound effect at the end was a tiny bit too destructive for my ears xD

Fun game, really enjoyed playing it. I only wish I could set the controls, cuz it's unplayable on my 60% keyboard. 10/10 worth busting out my old keyboard.

Nice little game. Good game feel. A little short though

Like the feel of the game just wish it was longer!

the music is awesome is entertaining. I love the animation of the bullets and the death of the enemies. As well as the different possible end! great work in 48 hours !!

Haha, great humor. Could add more silly stuff to make it longer

Nice one. And short. I like your take on the theme of the jam, so it's better to aim for Mars. The newspapers are great!

Nice short game! I wished it was a bit longer seeing how everything overall is so nice! It could definitely keep it's charm and style with more short endings like you currently have.

The sound effect of killing the dobo did hurt my ears a bit.

Super polished game! the art backgrounds and extra animations to things really sets it apart.

I liked the little twist and the alternate endings. Cool game!

Ha ha! I loved it. The animations are really slick and I love the recoil effect. Graphics are beautiful. Music is good. And killing the last dobo, what a laugh! The best game I've played in this compo so far.

Nice game! Short and sweet. I really like the art style and it left me wishing there were a few more levels to play around in. The twist is good. It provides a nice ah-ha moment and really makes you feel like the game maker is one step ahead.

good game, but it need more gameplay! )

Pretty nice game! Graphics are nice. The audio when killing the big bird thing at the end was really loud and a bit painful but other than that, it was nice!

Really liked the art style and presentation, just wish there was a bit more to the game!
Also like one other person mentioned, the dobo kill noise is a bit loud

Very cool game. Simple but cute art. There are a few thing you need to fix:

The controllers are very weird.

The game is too short.

haha very short but enjoyable, I think you should reduce the gravity when player is shooting

The movements of the camera are great, the style is cool, and the feel is impressive (a bit too much of recoil when shooting), unfortunately there is almost no gameplay, the game just serves as a joke (a good one). You have the power to create a very good game and this jam game proves that, keep with the good work!

Liked the recoil from firing the weapon. Felt tight and ready to expand into something bigger. Good entry!

great job, I was suprised how the game is polished.
Only bad thing I can say that is to short :(

Really nice and well polished game, with tutorial particles tweening. My most sincerly congratutlations!

The shooting really feels good and I think the pushback effect adds to that! The sound effects were a bit loud I think but otherwise good.

Well done!

That dobo had it coming for itself. It was charging right at me. It was self-defense!

Super solid juice. Wish it was longer.

Hahahahah, I was confused for a bit (especially the part about two endings) but it's actually hilarious. Great job on the polish.

"What is a mars?"
hahaa! :)

short, but funny game.

It's a little short but I understand you put times on gameplay. Controls works good. Well done!

Very well polished controls. The art style actually went together really well and seemed to have a cohesive visual style even if very simple -- though I felt like it could've been a little brighter / higher contrast overall (not sure if just my monitor but it was sometimes hard to make out the platforms against the background). I really enjoyed the humor at the end and had fun with the game overall even if it was very short. Nicely done :)

The graphics, sounds, and controls are all very good. It's amazing you got this much done in a compo. It's a shame there wasn't much content, because using the controls just felt good. I'd encourage you to expand on this. There's a fun game in there.

<had a long explanation here about the game but on a second thought I think it's better to let the game speak for itself>

Feels very short. I understand you put a lot of time into the polishing movements. Does the monsters should be red? Or my textures were not loaded?
You did a great job!

Good experiment. But that amazing **polished-ness** is the thing which makes people to expect more content. I think, less polished game of the same size would be less frustrating for players and your purposes would be more clear. On the other hand, you can take it as another part of experiment - unexpected but useful.

Very well polished controls. Loved the art style as well. Only if I could play this game for a good few minutes.

- "WE WANT MORE GAMEPLAY", says everyone who played the game.

Super polished, I liked the art and the music. Shame it's super short :(

Very juicy to play! I like the details put in the game! I'd like to see more content added to your game! ^^

Heheh at first I was like: wtf, is that it? And then when I read the first ending, I played again and got the other ending and felt in love with it. Nice music, nice visual particles. If it were longer it would be even better, but for what it is, it's good!

Seriously, make a full game out of this. It was pretty good fun while it lasted. :)

Feels great to play, and the endings are great! Felt so bad after I realized I had killed the mighty dobo :(
Would have loved to play longer.

Short but sweet game, polish through the roof, and the humor is great as well, I like this one! Just wish there was more to this game :p

Absolutely love it, from the description to the "tutorial" screen to the almost involuntary decision-making to its ending.

Apart from being really funny and on point: This is my favourite interpretation of the theme so far, and the only game that I gave 5/5 in that category, because it's not something stereotypical of the genre like in so many other games here. It's not about keeping the player, or a companion, or a fire, or anything else alive like in literally all other games of that genre. Well done.

I usually like to give helpful feedback. I can't. This is perfect already.
