In what way does your game fit the theme?
The ultimate ability is to fuse with your passed brother (who is alive as a cybernetic soul) to become more powerful.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, with my amazing graphics designer and sound designer.

Very interesting story line! I like the intro, but it doesn't really fit the feel/colors of the gameplay : / . The gameplay is kinda fun, but the gun is severely under powered and it's kind of hard to avoid attacks without any feedback when you get hit. But the graphics and audio are amazing, and there is a lot to the game for only having been made in one week!
Thanks for playing. The idea is that the start pistol is supposed to be bad, to encourage you to upgrade. Also, when you get hit, the vignette turns red to let you know you are losing health.
Wow! Very Good game i really enjoyed it :)
keep making games :D
if you have time check out our game.
and i am the 30th rater ;)
Thanks for playing, it means a lot! :)
very cool soundtrack <3 Good job <3
Thanks for playing! And thanks to Vulp for the epic music!
Nice game! It gives some Boxhead vibes. I like it!
Thanks for playing! :)
This game is suuper polished. So much done in so little time. Awesome!
Thanks for playing! :)
This is a crazy amount of development for such a short time, well done!
Thanks for playing! Was fun to watch you stream it.
Wow - you did all this in just one week!? Amazing!
Yeah, but it wouldn't have been possible without my teammates :)
Feels polished, but some balancing of the difficulty could help! I could see myself finding this on steam as a full release! Great job
Thanks! Yeah we didn't have much time for play testing, but we did balance some things, and I guess there will always be some people who think its too easy or too hard. Thanks for playing though!
Very cool and fun game, it needs a bit of balance, but is still really enjoyable.
Thanks for playing xD
I really enjoyed this, it looks great and the controls are wonderful, I'm amazed you managed to do so much in such a little time! Well done! If you get time could you have a look at my game too, Thanks!
Wow thanks for playing!
This was really fun.
I'll admit, I almost gave up at level 2 when the melee robots came in, because of the bug they seemed impossible to kill without losing a ton of HP. But I realized if you get real close they don't hurt you at all, so I continued playing. I'm really glad I did because I had a bunch of fun and ended up beating it.
I really like the artwork all around. I'm a sucker for glowy Tron lines. And I really appreciated that I could change my character's hair and shirt colors. The sword swing effects were really cool too. I didn't get all of the upgrades but the shotgun was fun to use.
If there's any feedback I could give, I would say the sword felt a little weak. It seemed like it was always the better option just to wait for my gun to cool down, especially after upgrading. I would say maybe add some helpful effect to the sword, like maybe the ability to reflect bullets or something, to keep it relevant even after upgrading your gun.
Honestly though, really good work!
If you have a minute, I would also really appreciate checking out my team's game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929213
Wow thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the art, and I spent hours rigging up the character customization xD
But yeah, the katana does a percent of an enemies health, and it gets weaker every level. There wasn't much time to balance it so I just threw some damage numbers in and hoped it worked.
Anyway I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and thanks for the feedback!
For one week challenge it's just amazing, it's a fully developed shoot em up with a shop system.Moreover, you can even go full ninja witha a mecha katana.
Yeah thanks for playing! We really tried hard, spending every hour of every day working. Glad you enjoyed it!
Really fun game, the blaster cooldown doesn't really ever get reached from my time playing it. Very good art with solid music to match it, great job.

Thanks for playing!
Thanks for playing man
haha Slash go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Nice art and music! well done
Thanks for playing!
o0o0o0o0o
the sound effects are really good . really nice pixel art graphics too!
one thing i would say is make the bullet size a bit larger and pls dont make the gun overheat so fast. because then its going to be difficult to play
If you use the combination of the katana and your ultimate, then you won't overheat a lot. You have to time your attacks! Thanks for playing.
Wow, I really liked the sound effects. I finally got passed those melee bots eventually too. Visuals were cool too but I think larger bullets would be good but that is a personal preference. Good job!
Thanks for playing!
Nice Graphics and sound design. A lot of weapons to use which makes the game much more playable. Feel a bit weak of the theme combination but still have fun :D, which is the ultimate purpose of a game!
Thanks for playing! We tried to incorporate the theme as much as possible, and if you read the storyline then it makes sense.
Really fun game. The only issue I had was that the melee enemies were doing damage to me when I was nowhere near them. Other than that it was really fun to play and just shoot the enemies. Good job.
That is the main bug I've found. Thanks a lot for playing though!
No problem, it'd be nice to see the bug fixed in any possible updates to the game afterwards.
Really enjoyed the art detail in this game. Gameplay was fun too. I had a few collision bugs, i got stuck and couldn't move the player in certain locations. Overall great entry
Yeah. Thanks for playing
