Red Entity is a game about a bunny girl, her giant mech, the connection between them and a couple thousand fearsome enemies against them.
We interpreted the "connected worlds" theme as two connected, but seperate entities, with their own different approaches to things. A mech game seemed like a fun notion for this, but since this was a collaboration between artists and programmers, perhaps there are more connected worlds than meet the eye?
Tips :
* The pilot kick C/L is paramount to success outside of the mech. You're invincible while using it and it lets you traverse the level easily! It's also a lot of fun, which is good.
* You will regain health while in the mech.
There might be a bug with altering screen scaling on some graphics cards... similarly, if the volume is too high, I apologize.
Made with LOVE 0.9.1

Awesome graphics and fast-paced gameplay. The mech felt little underwhelming compared to what the girl could do. But overall very nice entry.
This is amazing! Great art, super solid gameplay, and overall just really polished. Had lots of fun :)
Please tell me you're making a full game out of this.
I had a lot of fun playing this, the only thing problem with the game is that There were no instructions regarding what the GUI actually meant and the random weapon changes when picking up weapons without knowing them is kinda annoying. The mech idea was AWESOME seriously although I could spam it all the way making it kinda easy toward the end. Overall, its a really fun game to play :D
Nice graphics and music. The mechanic is really appealing. I liked the power ups and the dashing.
Ah, i see you are using Dawnbringers 16 color palette, nice too see this colors in action. :D The pixel art style is very good.
Excellent graphics and the game has a very vlambeerish feel (that's a good thing in my book).
But what does it have to do with the theme?
Love it! Great music/graphics/style/control/aesthetic. Definitely derivative of other games in terms of gameplay, but the whole style had me
Holy shit this rocks! Very cool graphics and animations. The sound effects pack a punch and the music is catchy. Although the connection to the theme is not entirely clear to me, I think you guys made a an awesome game.
Great game! The dash, the robot, pretty cool.
I think that shooting using the mouse cursor as direction could fit in this game. I found myself trapped in the caos wishing to shoot in all directions.
Art & music are fantastic! I also love the controls, but it would be much better if it had gamepad support... Well, nothing that "joytokey" can't solve ;) Great game, one of my favourites of the Jam, I hope you'll decide to make a full game out of this, cause I'd love to see this on Steam! :D
Really nice little shooter. The art is top notch and the gameplay works (even if it felt a bit confusing at times for me personally).
Very cool game! The controls were a little difficult, but I got used to it. Her jumps aren't that high, but maybe that's intended. The mech is really nice, but I wasn't aware if there was a limit on how many times you can summon the mech. The mech itself was a little hard to control. The graphics and music were awesome.
whoa
that was ridiculous
like a mix of aces wild + gunstar heroes
only complaint is that getting hit didn't feel like getting hit
that is, it felt like monsters/bullets were just gliding through me
and the gun sound was ehhh
but overall yeah
OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT.
THAT WAS AWESOME.
I can definitely see the influences here - I can feel some rocket knight, gunstar heroes, and a hell, even a bit of armored core with the mech's seriously destructive laser blade. You guys had the feel down pat, on top of an absolutely pumping soundtrack and incredible pixel art.
The rhythm of switching from melee use to special weapons (and timing mech transformation!) and the feedback of blowing up enemies was absolutely perfect. I have to admit I actually got goosebumps every time I laserbladed some enemy mechs.
Only comment I had was the connected worlds theme was a bit of a stretch, but hell, this is a 5* entry. Hats off to you guys for making this in 72 hours.
Nevermind playing more if you made more. I would buy this game no question if you made a full release.
WOW, it was relly awesome I was like addicted to the game, it is so cool when I call the mech and he slashes through the enemies, I enjoyed it it is exactly the kind of a game that I like: Not too hard, not too easy, but gets you wanna play it, also popcorn enemy monologue at the end: L - O - L !!! :D
Good looking and well sounding game.
Often I didn't notice the correlation of getting hit and losing hp.
Great fun and looks and sounds great. I never quite got the hang of the mech controls but I guess things were always pretty hectic at that point.
one of the best jam games this LD, the melee/dash feels just perfect! This is really a game that's all about the "feel", atleast in my perspective. Only thing i found a bit off is that the mech doesn't really seem that much better than the pilot. Either way, made multiple 10 round tries, still haven't completed it though :(
- Lukas, the graphics guy.
Very impressive for only 72 hours. Awesome title screen, great in-game graphics and animation, solid sound effects and music, and a cute little ending sequence. Well done.
I love the "eurodance" style of the music and simplicity from arcade games ^^
Really felt a bit like Gunstar Heroes with all those popcorn units exploding everywhere :).
Amazing quality! The game is really polished!
But I almost didn't play as the mech. The pilot kick is too OP (and fun to use), so everything else was kind useless...
I fell like the game needs to be better balanced...
One of the best looking games I've played this LD. Was fun to play and liked the different attack waves. Think you just need a bit more difference in gameplay between the mech and the normal player but overall an extremely polished entry, great music, great art.
Looks and feels nice, but the gameplay is honestly somewhat dull as it is. I guess the feel of progression just isn't there, since you're confined to a certain area and the enemies spawn in waves, which are indeed always a bit harder, but still pretty similar to the last wave. Not much to do but run and gun (hehe) around the stage at the moment. If only it had actual levels with bosses..!
Don't get me wrong though, it was a great entry!

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Cool game. All art was really good. Liked the mech, but would have been cool if it could do more. Great design.
