Very solid. But feels slow cause of the movment speed. 

I like it the sounds are great but can i ask why the ground is poop?

Submitted

Solid top down shooter, good job!

Submitted

The idea is cool but the player is really slow making the game a bit boring. I like the sound effects tho

this would have heavily benefited from more playtesting and balancing, got stuck because the generation system didn't want to play kindly with me. other than that, no glitches. player couldn't dodge projectiles very well, and enemies were bullet sponges. however, coding a generation system in a week is hard so props to you!

i like the concept and art. you have a error in the level generator

Submitted

Cool concept! It might have been more fun if you fully embraced being a vacuum cleaner and made that the main mechanic rather than shooting. Great job!

Submitted

Really neat idea to play a vacuum and kill dust bunny. Also really nice touch on the boss impressive

Submitted

The vacuum life is a good life

Pretty fun, although I'm not sure if it's just me, but I died once and then my exact next game I spawned in the bosses chamber with no escape!

As people below have stated, I stood no chance with the boss haha.

Also, I don't know what was happening but I don't think I managed to kill a single rat, the rats must have OP health.

Even though I never vanquished any of the enemies, I must say I enjoyed the game and gave myself a heart attack when I spawned in the bosses chamber.

Very cute visuals and even though the boss gave me a fright, he was also kinda adorable once I got to know him :)

Good job!

Nice idea, I've always dreamed of being a vacuum cleaner!

The only thing I'm not able to dodge the projectiles, quite frustrating ;D

I love being a vacuum cleaner.

nice game, little bit hard to beat the boss, but its a nice idea

It feels a bit broken since it's just worth it to put it all on maximum damage. Still I stood no chance against the boss :P. Having said that - good tutorial, interesting idea and cool music. Well done!

Submitted

"Still I stood no chance against the boss" me neither xD

Submitted

Smart idea by using the trade mechanics. Nice work!

Submitted

The trading mechanic is really nice. I think a health bar or something over the enemies would be nice so that the player can get a feel for how much damage you want to be around. Great work! 

Submitted

Had a generally fun experience with this game. Just put all of my health into damage. My movement was broken on the boss which was frustrating.

Your idea has potential, I like how you trade Hp for damage, but you have to work on this game. I like the music and sound effects too.

This game would be better with smarter AI and more interesting dungeons.

Interesting idea with a lot of potential. The controls are a bit clunky though

Submitted(+1)

I love the idea of being able to trade health and damage. Very addicting, although other obstacles and decorations would make it better. Great game!
