Really fun. Reminds me of vampire survivors

nice game! i like the music and sfx and shooting is very well done! I did have an issue that i would click accidentally in the shop as i was clicking to shoot enemies and doing so picked something i did not want, other than that, very well done!

Developer

thanks for feedback, I changed it so that the upgrade buttons are disabled for a fraction of a second when they spawn so that cant happen. It will be in update next weekend.

The art is simple but effective, music and audio is addictive and the gameplay is fun. Good work <3

Great top-down shooter! Love the simplistic graphics! Even though I was playing the web version where the glow graphics didn't work, I still thought it wasn't too bad.

Game gets stale after a little bit though (there were only 3 enemies I've encountered)

I'm working on an update for after the rating period ends. I've already added a new enemy, 10 new upgrades, and a boss so you can check this out again in a week for some more content!

Super fun submission! I'm particularly impressed that you decided to add a screen shake toggle setting in a game jam. Only feedback I would give would be to add a movement indicator for the enemies. I found it hard to tell where I was moving when there wasn't much XP on the screen.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Its definitely a bit difficult to understand the movement when the screen is mostly empty and I'm currently working on a solution to this problem.

It respects the theme, it's fun ,simple and easy to understand. Only two things I'd like to say: no too sure but do the enemies have a dash mechanic? And, not a big fan of the game pausing during gameplay to choose an upgrade.

Developer

The blue enemies dash but it can get a little buggy when there's a lot of enemies colliding with each other

Here lately I've been a sucker for survivors-style games, and this one was a good time. Great work! Congrats and good luck!

Your game reminds me a little bit of Vampire Survivors, except with player attacking instead of auto attack.

I usually do not like these kinds of games (except Vampire Survivors itself, but usually don't like most of the clones), but I did like your particular game.

One thing I really loved was how your game with simple shapes as a vast majority of the graphics might be yet still better in terms of gameplay than three quarters of all the Vampire Survivor clones out there including those with fancy graphics. Not only that, but it might,  ironically, be better even in the grahpics department than some of those games!

The graphics were minimal yet I consider them very good, even in just the web version. You're right that they look a bit better in the downloaded version, so I went ahead and played that version.

The gameplay is really fun and your game is really well done, you did a nice job on this one!

Developer

thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it

love this style of game
