Nice game. I like to see the pixels :) Maybe a little difficult from start.
Nice game, had fun playing this. Would be better if I didn't have to keep pressing the shoot button. Instead, holding down the button should keep the bullets shooting (maybe at a low fire rate). Except that, I love everything in the game, especially the visuals. Nice colors and gameplay ! Followed you on twitter :)
Nice little shooter, and great graphics. It could see a bigger game being developed from this
You should give some visual feedback when enemies are hit
I don't see how this is related to the theme. But the game has really nice pixel art graphics and is nice to look at and play. I would add some things like coins for the heroine to collect while she is avoiding all those shooting creatures.
Nice arts!
I have to spam my gamepad to shoot which made the game pretty unplayable :(
I really love the art style, but without pickups or a cooldown, it really becomes a button-masher.
2600 points, pretty hard imho... I agree with others that shooting should really be done by holding a button rather than tapping it.
Nice art, but sound is awful, graphics looks like a konami shooter
Pretty fun, but has nothing to do with the theme? I guess there are some shapes shifting around.
A game about a witch flying and shooting at things? Sound vaguely familiar somehow(*).
Can't really tell how this game relates to the theme, but it looks and sounds great.
(* Check out my compo entry, you'll get it)
Cute game! The art was adorable and well made, I wasn't sure where the theme for the jam was though? Maybe I just missed it. You should also add some feedback to let the player know what is friendly/has been hit, since it took more than one shot to destroy the enemies and there was no feedback letting me know they had been damaged, at first i thought they were collectibles, same with the projectiles they launched. Really great and fun game overall though!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Nice conceptart! I think this is a good point to start a project. I love the witch and colour set choosen.
Clever way to solve the "game start" moving the paralax background. The difficulty increases very fast but good jam game.
