It was kinda funny that there was comic sans on the screen while I was fighting for my life (cant take comic sans seriously im sorry haha) but cool little game with good & easy to understand concept. Nice use of transparency in your art & leaderboard was a nice touch

Really cool game!

Great game! It's very atmospheric, even if it broke the 1-bit aspect slightly. I managed to place about 15th I believe. This game has some great amounts of detail to it. Great job once again!

I got 3rd place on the leaderboard! I found one big exploit, you can just stand on the rocket launcher spawn and repeatedly press e / left click to fire infinite rockets. At about 220 points, there were soooo many enemies that my game went down to 2fps. They were practically launching from their spawn there were so many, it was a good laugh. Great submission!

Fun game, nice colors and the leaderboard is a good idea! Maybe a bigger map would be nice

Woah this is very interesting. The visuals and effects are pretty impressive! Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you can survive forever by staying in the bunker, and it seems to be the best strategy since the tanks can't hit you. I definitely see what you were going for though, and the leaderboards are a good touch.

Nice colors  and  game mechanics. Initially it  seemed hard to me but after 3rd attempt I played  well.

Love the music and the fog/mist/night effects. Very thematic.

Gameplay is pretty cool I really liked it, but, uh, it's kinda silly how you went for a war theme and put these goofy sound effects. Game was fun even if very simple, could spend a long time playing it. Not sure how the theme fits. I guess it gets kinda dark to see at random times?

+1 for eerie music

Very good game jam entry. I like this kind of dynamic gameplay

Really love how foreboding the music feels at the beginning and love the general aesthetic.

Noticed that when you die the game continues playing on in the background, behind the game over screen, but the escalating sound of war when it happens just adds to the haunting vibes.

Very difficult too, but I managed to get top of the leader leaderboard, for now :)

i like that you didn't go for the classic "black and white"-look. the colors you chose look really cool and the game is fun but really difficult!
