This is my 2025 heist jam submission!

There are a few bugs, but it is a fast-paced rogue-like shooter with mouse control and high-resolution.

Hope you all like it!

:gun: :hocho:, :large_blue_circle: - this game is suitable for ages 13+ (see this topic)

It’s a fun game, I think I figured out how to reload although I’m not sure weather it’s automatic or not.

first of all, that’s just wrong. This game has amazing art.
Second of all, I love this game even though i haven’t gotten past the first level. It’s really fun to play and feels very polished. However, It would be nice if you could tell the difference between the enemies that shoot at you and the ones that run at you deal contact damage.

I was thinking about submitting a game for the game jam, but after seeing this, I know that theirs no way I’d win…

That’s really neat!! I love the gameplay and graphics. One issue I found is that it was very laggy, which made it hard to play. But I’m playing on a crappy device so…

The shooter ones have a rounder mouth while the dashers have a frown. Its not a very distinguishable difference, I know. I kinda planned to update the art, but I ended up not, and so in the lore that they are just blobs lol.

Thanks! Reload by pressing R, or you can just click again when the ammo is empty.

I like the game, but… i kinda suck at it. Havent gotten past the first level. The first part is great, with you needing to form a strategy to get past the enemies, but then the escape section is lowkey impossible :sob:

I coulndt finish the first level’s escape part, while spamming dash, realoading as soon as i could, and ignoring the enemies. I think it needs to be toned down, or theres something im not quite getting. I really like the art, the story is nice, and it has great mechanics, but the escape section needs some refining. Then again i kinda suck at games so take that with a spoonful of salt.

I find it quite easy to tell the difference, but I think the health bars should look different for each so you can distinguish them at long range.

I always beat it with 5 seconds left, maybe I should just add a few seconds more…

Thanks for your feedback!
