I loved the intro. It was really fun to play this game. Good Job. The art was good and the controls were really responsive. 


If you are interested, could you please play my game. I would really appreciate it.

I thought this was really fun and very well done!  Some more celebration when you kill a boss would be nice.  Great intro, I was smiling and having fun as soon as this game started!   Web version crashes after playing a bit but otherwise this is an awesome entry!

I really loved the intro and music! It sets the mood quite well, but both the bosses and the use of the theme felt a bit flat for me... Don't get me wrong the game feels good and I had fun, but it still looks like it needed a bit more work put into making the bosses feel much better and the arena/weapons to give more of a spectacle.

Still with this said, I really had a nice time playing!

Very cool intro, I think maybe my game was bugged since I couldn't seem to exchange weapons.

Loved the intro and the voice acting! The sounds were nice, but the UI needs to match how "crunchy" it is. The bosses were a bit too easy, especially with the rifle and grenade launcher, since they had pretty slow movement and rotation speed. I also wish there more uses for the heart mechanic. A fun game overall, but a bit more polishing and balancing would really make it stand out!

Great art, the details of bullet shells falling off are very interesting

But the enemy is a bit too simple, I only used one weapon to pass through all the Boos

fun game. I wanted to do a few runs with different weapons. Before we start, I'd like to see some weapons to keep the bosses out of the way. Intro 12/10

awesome intro! dig the art style and music. boss fight mechanics could be a little more interesting and the player damage sounds could be more noticeable compared to the rest of the sfx, but overall quite an enjoyable experience.

Lovely cinematic intro.

All the different bosses were really cool and it was easy to get the hang of it.

I loved it! Please make more. 11/10

The art is nice, bosses have too much health, and weapons have too much ammo for the theme to really come into play

Really fun game! Managed to beat it. Gameplay very tight responsive and addictive.

This game's a lot of fun. The sound design makes every gunshot satisfying. The point-and-click shooting at small targets is a good challenge. The bosses are intimidating. The music rocks. Great job, guys. Some critiques—the arena could use a bit more post-apocalyptic design work to fill up the space. I also think the Spitter is by far the hardest boss and should have been the final boss. This game was hard for me to beat (due to the Spitter), but it made me want to win, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the great experience.
