I loved the artwork, specially the transitions in the menus and the “controls newspaper” it mixes very well with the game. Also, a praise for the upgrade mechanics and for using twin-stick shooter. Overall, it is a solid entry! Good Work and keep going!

I love the art in this, and the way the upgrades are permanent and meaningful. The music and sound effects work really well with the game as well. Great work!

Love the way this looks, such a cool wave shooter. Like a graphic novel. Once again, the art is excellent. It was really cool you guys made it into a roguelite with the permanent upgrades! 

Would feel great to be able to purchase different guns, maybe turn the upgrades into guns and equipment. Convert the movement speed upgrade into different shoes. Any decision to get to show off more of your visuals seems lika good one to me <3

Took some time to get used to the 4-way aiming, felt limited which could be a choice but I would try to atleast include diagonals. Should push the gameplay feel further!

Cool jam, would like to see this be expanded further, amazing game perfect for web like one you would get lost in back in the day.

Really nice art and story, it works so well for the theme and gives the game personality. Gameplay started a bit slow and I felt like I can't do anything to save my stand, but that is usually the case for games with meta upgrade system. Progression was satisfying and kept me going for a while. Loved it overall, especially aesthetics and lore. Only thing I'd add is probably some simple ability at the start, to juice up beginning of the game until players get to upgrades.

I liked the visuals and the music was building tense, but I found it almost impossible to survive the second wave. I needed the guy running a little faster, the bullets surviving longer and walking further from the stand. Meaning, expanding the window of killing the enemies before approaching too much, which by that point it will be too late. Other than that, I seems great!

I like the art, but it feels a bit grindy in the beginning as it is hard to survive more than 1 wave when you start without upgrades

Congrats on your submission!  I really like the newspaper article at the beginning.  I am curious if there's an end to the game.  I stopped and let the enemies kill me on wave 23 because I was tired after all the playthroughs. My first play, I was only able to purchase the faster movement (that was going to be my nit picky complaint about the game) after realizing it was very rogue-lite, I played through 3 more times I think and was able to get to around wave 9 before even getting hit and when I got to the upgrade screen, I had no more upgrades and I have over 24K left over.  When I did finally game over, I was at $999,999 money, so I'm guessing I maxed out, which is why I was asking about if there's a final wave.

Very nicely done.  Great game loop and nice upgrades.  Being able to shoot up/down/left/right is a little restrictive especially when the enemies attack in angles.  Maybe a mouse aim?  Also was a little slow to begin with and forced players to fail and then to buy upgrades.  A few times failing on level 2 is a little hard, give me that 67 coins man  :)

Masterful execution of the rogue-lite addictive cycle. Well done.

great art and aesthetic ui was amazing too. the gameplay was also very balanced.

Very cool looking game and feels really polished! I struggled a little with the earlier waves and wonder if spacing the enemies out slightly so they don't all descend on you at once could help, but had a great time playing it nonetheless. Nice idea that you access the upgrades outside of the main game so you can plan beforehand :D

I love the concept, design and the artwork! It was a bit slow for me to begin with but after some upgrades it became really fun. Great submission!

Good take on a TD/shooter game, I especially liked the art and the theming. I found the difficulty a bit high and the pace a little slow for me personally, but I went through a few waves, got some upgrades and still had a good time. Great job!

Very polished game with good art and nice theme implementation. Haven't seen anything with rouge-lite mechanics yet in the jam. Maybe the gameplay is a bit too slow for me and enemies pretty beefy but other than that I liked it.

nice game liked it.

Controlling the character could be better, like allow diagonally shooting

Very nice game, I was a fan of gathering permanent upgrades and just blasting away those lemon hating enemies, all the way to wave 17 or something I dunno.

The art was very nice and has a consistent aesthetic.

Something that would add more weight to combat is if upgrading firepower changed the firing sound into a more powerful sound.

Neat job :D

beautiful art and the gameplay is very fun!

So so good. I got sucked in and played for much longer than I intended, even if I had to die a whole bunch before I could even survive the second wave. Loved the artwork and main character animation. Would probably have enjoyed more visceral feedback when firing the gun (you know, a more realistic gunshot sound, screenshake, all that good stuff) but that's just me. Impressed at how polished this was--really felt like a complete game.

(edit) meant to say that I also wish you could upgrade between waves without having to die, but since you keep your money even after death I guess it amounts to the same thing.

This was so awesome, definitely one of my favorites of the whole jam!

Amazing art and visuals! Did you draw it by yourself? The functionality and feel are also great, although the starting slow movement speed is so punishing XD Great theme idea too. 

For improvement, I would suggest diagonal movement/shooting.
