But be careful, you will only have a couple of seconds before you burn down, how far will you get ? Will you reach the top of the leaderboard ?

The game is clean and polished, with a smooth character controller, cute graphics, engaging music, and lots of feedback and juice. Nevertheless, I'm disappointed with the core concept, which isn't original. I feel like you've put too much on the realization and not enough on the design. To me, I won't remember this game among others you've done.
I respect the fact that you put all your efforts into having something funny and entertaining, yet I feel like a jam is for testing new things...
Apart from that, which is very personal, the game is cleaaaaaaaaan! And bunnies are cute, even with machine guns.

It's so well made and the rabbits are wanky in a good way. But it's so stressful, 10 seconds constrains really pushes you hard to move forward.

Anyway, very solid game!

A really nice game! Didn't feel like it fits the theme, though: nothing happens every 10 seconds, it's just that you have 10 seconds to complete the level. Nevertheless, enjoyed it, good job.

Really nice take on the theme ! The idea of a match consuming and origami enemies is really cool ! It's a bit harsh to restart the game each time you die and the shots of the enemy are really hard to dodge, but overall really cool entry.

Almost perfect execution as always. The game is very fun, you got me with that damn leader board. I tried to put an easter egg there (But I went too fast and missed an X -_-)

Wow, it's so much fun trying to get a highscore in this!
The best strategies I have come up with is shooting a fireball before entering a room and going close to the gate when there's 1 enemy left.
The animation of the match dying in the water pool is the saddest death I've seen in video games.
Masterful entry!

Very fun to play this game, I really like how you get stronger and how the difficulty scales up !

Super cool as well with the SFX and VFX when you are close to hit the 10 sec mark.

Well done keep it up

That is a very nice game !
The mechanics are cool, and the idea to have a match-themed game with paper rabbits equipped with water guns as enemies is fun :)

Plus the score ladder is a nice incentive to keep playing :ok_hand:

Very charming game, I like it a lot! It's got a bit of everything - dodge-based Soulslike combat, wave survival, random upgrades - and it really gels! Excellent visuals, too, love the intensifying flames as the clock ticks down.

Great job!

Oh wow! This is one of my favourite games I've played this jam. Really good idea and solidly built!

My only criticism is that the music loop is a bit short and gets annoying after a while, but otherwise this was a blast. Excellent work! :)

Very interesting concept. Good graphics, really good! Bunnies seem to be a thing this year... I am liking it.

Crits:

- Music could be more varied and "battle" themed,
- Had a weird flashing screen on the web player (Chrome) when I tried pairing PS5 controller

That's about it! Would like to see future versions of this game!

This is really a innovation

I also got stuck in the first room :smirk: :laughing: ![Снимок экрана (204).png](///raw/712/94/z/5321f.png)

BUT!!! I liked the idea and the cool rabbits with glasses :dark_sunglasses:
You can rate my game too if you want, i would be very happy if you rate it, because is my first one :hearts:

This game is really polished, that's really cool ! The adaptive music, the screen effect, the environment... all is really clean and greatly contribute to the mood

Also, I think this is the best justification about the theme that I saw

I found that close combat was easier than range combat because the cooldown of the fireball is mercyless with the 10 seconds limit (I didn't calculate how much you can shoot in this laps of time, but I think it's not a high number :o )

That was really neat! It was super polished for a LD submission, looked amazing and felt fantastic to play! Personally, I wish that water didn't insta-kill you, but I also understand why that was the decision. I only managed to make 22nd place on the leaderboard because of sloppy mistakes, but I'm gonna be proud of it anyway (:laughing:)! I love the idea of the rabbits having water-guns, it made me smile! :smile:

Overall, really solid entry; keep it up! :clap:

I liked this game a lot. Very cool graphics and the visual match all through the game (as far as I got).

I missed a "play again" button on the game over screen and for some reason the game hung a few times while moving. Maybe that's a WebGL-Issue after all.

yeah this was fine.. i had a mini heart attack from every room but it was always manageable. I liked the system of upgrading abilities and very soon I felt that I was very powerfull. good entry

Awesome game, had a lot of fun! Love the mechanics. The mix of shooting, aura and movement is really well done. I also love the sound effects, the upgrade system and the tight timespan you have. I like the graphics but my notebook is a bit overwhelmed by the shader awesomeness...

Great game, one I can't stop playing! Made it to the top ten!
