Devlog 36 - A Bug Zapper for the Soundtrack
A musician friend made Jackstrap’s main theme and four variations. I wanted to thank them with something personal, useful, and a little ridiculous: a Moochi- and Jackstrap-branded bug zapper.
Moochi makes fun, hand-drawn indie games.
Jackstrap is a 2D combo-driven action roguelite about a ninja jockstrap defending his family's jewels from an army of Nutcrackers.
Unlock movement and attack skills, mix in elemental effects, build your own combos, then use them against enemies designed to mess with that plan.
The premise is stupid on purpose. The combat isn't.
Coming 2027-ish
announcements:
Steam + demo when they’re ready.

The core idea is finally easier to say: compose combat ahead of time, then make that composition work in real-time combat.

Jackstrap is hogging the dev time. Spandex is on standby.
