Great game, loved the art, gameplay, and the variety of perks and weapons given to the player.
Really cool and fun game, great art direction and music. I wanted to keep playing to see the end but it was actually harder than it first looks.
If I had to give critical feedback it would be that some of the segements and enemy layouts kind of necessitate you losing health and sometimes feel a bit unfair, but I've done quite a lot of work with procedural maps in the past and know it's very hard to optimise difficulty with these especially when rushed.
Great game overall though!
The visual effects are amazing~
Also I love that the are a lot of abilities to choose from, making each run unique. My favorite is the one that randomize your weapons every few seconds :p
Loved this game, the simplicity, the aesthetic, wonderful.
My only gripe is the inability to move up and down (kinda like brake and speed up) a little bit to get through the smaller gaps easier.
10/10
Wow! I have nothing bad to say about this game. I absolutely loved it. Simple and effect graphics. A great music loop. Sound effects that are not annoying.
I would pay a few $$ a mobile version of this game if it had a bunch of levels / a shallow story placed on top.
Nice job!
Would be cool to know what weapon you'll get from pickups. Also, it's been kinda hard to see walls at first. Other than those two things, the game is awesome!
Great entry! Would love if the powerups changed my experience even more!
This game is tough! Love the art and the gameplay felt really good, especially the explosions.
Feels very inspired by Downwell!
Great explosions but I found it very difficult to get beyond about 1500 (probably just me!)
What a great game! I enjoyed playing it. The level generation was good the pixel art looked right and the colors worked great together. Sometimes it feels a bit unfair if you have only one tile to move to the right or left side and after that there is a red block because you will almost never be able to destroy it in time but well done!
