very polished game , very cool intro, sadly the game gets repetetive after a few rounds, but still awesome game 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Very well-polished game. I really liked the retro vibe, graphics, sounds and UI fit great together.  Nice touch with the change of stats and weapon which I think I've seen several times already in this jam. It did get a bit boring after wave 10 as I felt that the guns start repeating and there was no so much diversity in enemies or stats. Different level layouts or some boss fights from time to time would make it more fun I think. Also, adding some more of that background story (the intro was promising!). in between. But maybe it's just me. Anyway, really great job making such a neat game in just 48 hours!

I love the feel of this game! The combination of sfx and visuals fit together really nicely and make the game very satisfying to play! I had fun playing, but I got bored after a while. I would recommend some way to make the game more difficult so that you can play it over and over again trying to beat your highscore. Overall I really liked it, nice work!

Neat controls and audio. Graphics ok, but enemies not enough visible. A twin-stick shooter mastered. Awesome job.

Developer

Thanks?

The dark screen made it hard to see the distorted enemies that well, hurt my eyes after several playthroughs.  Had fun tho, rushing in to deal more damage when you got shotgun or backing off when getting burst kept things interesting in a limited playing field!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh this is a lot of fun! I think I ran into a problem where my weapon's range dropped to a super small number and I couldn't hit some enemies and I was softlocked. Other than that, I loved the 'mutation' sound effect, ha! Great work all around!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Making that sound effect was a lot of fun - I got to learn how to bitcrunch my own voice.

Simple yet brilliantly executed. Love the aesthetics. Keep up the good work!

Really enjoyed this game's aesthetic. Feels good to play too. I just wish it was a bit harder or there was more variety. It didn't notice it getting any harder after ~Wave 15. I gave up 10 rounds later because I had gotten used to it enough that it stopped being hard. A few more enemy types that required different strategies would have helped a lot.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I didn't have a lot of time for balancing, and I recognize that the game isn't exceptional in later rounds.

absolute gem right here. the effects when getting hit and hitting enemies really sold it for me, and each gun is super fun to use! 10/5 stars would download

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad people enjoyed the mechanic, I was a bit worried that the randomness would turn people away haha!

Super fun game, have to agree that it feels a little dark but past that it's tons of fun!

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty neat game. The changing stats are a cool idea that requires some rethinking of strategy regularly, but the game is really dark and it's almost impossible to see the enemies, which makes it hard to actually modify your strategy since you really just have to fire blindly at first to even see what's there.

Developer

Yeah. I only really noticed that the enemies were hard to see after I published. Thanks for the feedback!

EmCannon,

Once again you astound with development skills that not only meet the bar, they are the bar. Adding this to my list of favorite games, right after Crate Succ. Well done!

The game is a little dark and the enemies are hard to make out sometimes. The cutscenes, though, *chef's kiss*

Developer

Haha, thanks!

A worthy successor of CrateSucc!

Developer
