The tutorial has been added to the game!

My favorite ludum56 game so far XD
Good job!

Thank you so much!

this is amazing!!! adorable art, funny dialogue, banger music. battles were fun too!

You did a lot of work and it turned out great. One of my favorites of this jam. The characters are super cute and the art as a whole is great. Its cool that you managed to add a story to a jam game. Awesome job!

rlly like, game fun. i liked that each char had their own mechanics~!!

Cool idea of the game, cool music and great art)

Very cool! The art is wonderful, the sfx are charming, the writing is hilarious, and I loved the idea of a 'bullet hell' game where you are juggling 4 characters. Very glad you made the 'attacking' automatic (as otherwise it would've been too much) - but it still felt tense and engaging. However, I was not able to tell where all damage was coming from, so I couldn't beat the last boss (and when everyone dies, the game seems to just wait around, no retry option) - but I was happy to try several times, just to get to see the awesome boss art again! They would make for awesome tattoos! Well done!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! We're working on implementing a retry option to the game so that the game doesn't just end when all the characters go down

Wow, this game really brings the energy! It would be great to have a minute to come to grips with the controls before being thrown into a battle, but I get what you're going for and you got a crazy amount of stuff done!

I died on the third battle. The character design for that enemy is simply a masterpiece ✨

Some notes:
- The settings didn't seem to change anything. I couldn't get out of fullscreen or change the resolution.
- The health bars all showed some life left when my dudes were dead, possibly from being on an ultrawide monitor.

Great entry! It's manic and silly and I dig it.

I'm really amused by the game's style.

The writing is funny, the action is varied and interesting, the music is perfect for this band of misfits high-octane adventure, which have a ton of personality thanks to the voice acting and individualized specialties. There's all of the ingredients for a great time here! There are a couple things I could note about the game, for one I wish could retry when my whole party is down, and I feel there needed to be a little more feedback for attacks on the enemy. Mad props for having a story that is as enticing as it is funny! :smile:

@madbarron Thanks for letting us know of these bugs, we'll fix them soon! We're also going to add the tutorial on this page into the game, so that hopefully helps with an introduction to controls!

@mavvy Thank you for the feedback! We're working on implementing a retry option so that game doesn't end upon a party wipe. We'll take into account enemy attack feedback as well, and see what we can do.

really cool game one of the best cool

Not very tiny, but still very funny!

🎉 An Absolute Delight! This game is truly amazing! From the adorable art to the hilarious dialogue, every element comes together to create a fantastic experience. 😄 The music is a real banger, adding an energetic vibe that perfectly complements the gameplay. 🎶

The character designs are super cute, and I love how each one has unique mechanics that keep the battles fresh and exciting! 💥 It's impressive that you managed to weave an engaging story into a jam game — it really elevates the experience! 🐾

The gameplay is fun and frantic, especially juggling four characters in a 'bullet hell' setting! While I did encounter some challenges, like not being able to tell where the damage was coming from, it didn’t deter my enjoyment. Each attempt was worth it just to see the awesome boss art again! 🎨 I’m thrilled to hear that you’re working on a retry option and a tutorial to enhance the experience further! 🚀 Keep up the great work; this is definitely one of my favorites from the jam! 🌟

The cover image really caught my eye, and the music is also great. It's just that during gameplay, the visuals feel a bit disjointed. Overall, it's still a pretty good game.

Loved the visuals. And reaaly loved the sound design.

Awesome music and visuals!

Gus Krill best character ever! This game give a LOT of fun with four charismatic unique characters! The gameplay is difficult and quite simple but also fun!

Oh and I need to mention the best pause menu I ever see!


This game is something else! A mix of madness, humor and cuteness. It's bad and good at the same time. A special plus for the menu (music and stars of my favourite shape) and the whole art style! I would add some tutorial or hints.

One of the funniest game I have played this jam and I have played a lot of funny games. It speaks to my soul.

I really like the overall vibes of the game, it has a ton of charm. Unfortunately I really can't tell where damage comes from in the game, and I've also seen the bug some other players have had where health doesn't deplete all the way when characters die. I'm not sure what tactical changes one should make to beat the final boss, grouping up near the healer didn't seem to actually negate enough damage to actually win...

The concept is really fun with a perfect combination with the tiny creature with outer space!You even made a su[er strong fianl boss which really makes me feel exited and fulfilled after beating the final boss!
Maybe the Music is also attracting and reaaly fit to the scene of outer space,and the UI of pause was really cute,innovative and attractive,just like the character are talking to us!What is more,
the disign of the character is also super adorable and lively
Nice Try and Expecting your new game

@peachee-lychee The boss auto-attacks you for a small portion of damage (which the tank can half if they're in melee range). The other source of damage are from its dots - the orange AoEs, lines, and waves that they send out. Was it the color that you were having difficulty with?

As someone who is a fan of MMO raids, this cooks! Nice job guys!

Super cool game, will be recommending it to my friends later

Good idea, l like it

Great game so far, been enjoying it for some time, like the battles and the music, keep up the good work!!!

Nice!

Thanks for the game, that was absolute madness, haha! Funny enough, I once had a similar idea but dropped it because I didn’t have the skills at the time.
