I was able to reach around wave 9 after a few play-throughs but it was still a fairly fun experience. If I put more time into your game, I'd definitely beat wave 12. Good job on making a good game!

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Yeah the game does get a little tough in the end, but with a few tries, you can definitely make it :) 

Submitted

This was well made and fun! I liked how it started off being easy, and then increased in difficulty. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing :) I am happy you enjoyed the game ! 

Submitted

Pretty good difficulty scaling. I think once you get to a certain level, there should be shield and health boosts on every level, but it's definitely doable the way it is now. An approachable amount of panic once you get to 10+. Pretty solid altogether!

Developer

Thanks for playing. You are not the only one facing difficulty spikes. I am thinking of doing something like you suggested to reduce the difficulty a tad bit in the later levels. Thanks ! 

Submitted

Fun little shooter game to try to get past all the waves. Was a bit hard getting past level 10 due to the small space plus cluster of enemies spawning near the player and instantly shooting.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! I am glad you had fun. Yeah it does get a difficult in the later levels, maybe I will adjust the difficulty spike.

Fun game! I got to level 9. I loved the addition of covers and the little yellow flash effect that spawned on bullet hit. I think the gun firing sound could be improved, it gets a bit monotonous after a while since you're constantly shooting. I enjoyed the game overall!

Developer

Thanks for playing. I could  have a range of sound effects and pick one at random for shooting. Thanks for the feedback :)

Fun top down shooter. Got to wave 11. Enemies shooting at the same time is different from other games of the genre. Really liking the different strategy it makes.

Developer

Glad you had fun ! You made it really far. The difficulty ramps up quite a lot, maybe I need to make it smoother. 

Submitted

good simple game, I died on level 9. the difficulties progression is nice too.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Yes It does get more difficult gradually, but there are also more pickups in the double digit levels. :)

Submitted

Music matches game's pace which is really good.
Maybe you could add weapon upgrades or shops for outfits styling every X levels.
The game is really fun overall.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! That's a really good idea ! Thanks for the feedback :) 

Submitted

Fast paced little game! I couldn't survive the 12 rounds, but nice and easy to use controls!

Developer

Thanks for playing :) I probably need to adjust difficulty curve a little, since not a lot of people are getting passed to double digit waves. 

Submitted

Nice controls and fun fast gameplay. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing ! :)

Well... the name says it all. I done gone and shoot me some bugs!  I was only able to make it through 7 stages until I died, but I had fun along the way.  With as many bugs as I saw on stage 7, I shudder to think of how many inhabit stage 12!  Nicely done.

Developer

Yay  ! I am glad you had fun ! Yeah the Bugs to increase , but I drop more powerups as well. That being said, I probably need to smoothen the difficulty curve a little more based on the feedback :) 

Submitted

Very dynamic game.

Your sound effects were very satisfying :)

Did you create the art yourself, it looks great!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! I used free assets from the Unity Asset Store by Brackeys, as well as some sprites from OpenGameArt. I did edit and modify these to the best of my abilities, but I can't create art to save my life :p I hope I get better with experience. 

Submitted

Good intense game! good amount of action and I love the aim system locking to mouse so i can 'circle' enemies if needed!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game ! I am glad you had fun :) 

Submitted

very exciting shooter! loved the intense music. the number of enemies get crazy in the later stages, and I realized the importance of using an obstacle to dodge their bullets and getting invincible items XD - overall enjoyed the gameplay!

Developer

Thanks for playing :) I am glad you had fun !  Yes, in the later stages hiding behind the crates and waiting for the right moment becomes crucial.

Submitted

Really fun game! I loved the sound effects and gameplay loop overall, but I had trouble getting past level 7 as well.  Having all the soldiers shoot at once made things difficult but the crates and pickups help a lot. Overall it's an exciting challenge!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Yeah, it does get difficult in the later waves, maybe I can look into making the difficulty ramp up smoother in the next iteration. :) 

Submitted

Great little action packed game, you really need to use the crates to hide once the guys shoot. I had 2 runs but couldn't get to the 12th wave.

Developer

I am glad you had fun :) yes, when the number of enemies increases, you really need the crates to hide. Maybe I should ramp down the difficulty a little for the next iteration considering others had trouble reaching the last wave as well.

Fun! I didn't get to the last stage, but it was pretty fun! I liked the shield and hiding behind the crates etc.

Developer

Thanks for playing :) 

Submitted

Fun game! Enjoyed all the shooting and action.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! :) 

Submitted

Nice entry! I had fun  playing it and that is what it's all about! I found it a little hard to control sometimes haha, maybe I suck! But I loved the sound effect and hearing game over made me smile :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! I am happy you liked the sound effects :) I will upgrade the UI in the next iteration. Probably that will help.

Submitted

Very fun, very action packed. The sound design really helped sell the hits.

I unfortunately couldn't make it past wave 7 lol, so maybe there was a boss battle I missed out on. With that said, it maybe would have been nice to see more enemy variety, and maybe some variation in the soldiers' firing (all of them firing at once is very menacing but it's a little strange compared to other games of the genre IMO).

Also, a different font could fit the style of the game more.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! I am glad you had fun. Nice suggestions,  I will look into adding more enemy and weapon variety in the next iterations :)
