Really neat story! I included it in my Buddy Up Jam: Winter 2022 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Very cool entry! I love the variety of weapons, although I felt like the laser is a little too overpowered because I ended up using it for most of the game. The enemies getting bigger when taking damage is a cool mechanic because it makes them harder to avoid and feels satisfying. I also like how the levels are fully destructible.

The boss fight at the end was very cool, but at first I thought I wasn't doing any damage because it wasn't getting any bigger or giving any other visual feedback, until I noticed the health bar in the corner.

The music and graphics are nicely done and fit the tone of the game very well, I especially thought the pixel art on the final boss was really good.

Two (possible) bugs I found: At one point I reached 0% health but was still alive until I took another hit, and also it seemed like the game crashed after the final boss.

Overall a solid entry!

Everything in this game is really great!! The art, gameplay, music. 

I like the music that you guys did. It really gives off the vibe of an old pixel game set in a sci fi world with aliens, like a retro/vaporwave kind of thing. 

AND THE BOSS MUSIC AS WELL SHEESH.  

I panicked a little in the boss and pressed Esc to pause but it crashed the game instead. Overall very nice :)

Nice game. What game engine did you use?
Reminded me a lot of Nuclear Throne. 

That last boss was so cool. 

I think adding some feedback(sound or visual) when the player gets hit would be good.

Nuclear Throne was our inspiration for quite a bit of the game lol.  all programmed in gms2

i agree with the sounds though, didnt spend a lot of time thinking about them until the end

glad you liked the boss, and thanks for playing!

Really, really enjoyed this. I loved your intepretation of the theme. I also loved the worldbuilding. Well done! This feels like a mobile game I would have spent hours on if I was younger.

now if i could convince the rest of the team to help make this into a mobile game as well . . .

Cool game! Love that the levels are randomly generated (at least i think so?) Controls are Pleasant and you instantly understand what to do!

Developer

This was cool! I really like the shotgun, and the scorpions are super scary when they start getting bigger xD.

I also really liked the art!
