Love the artwork and all the effects that happen when I fire a weapon that I can FEEL! Adding some sort of audio would probably make it better, obviously, but you did a great job with what's there =)

I also like how you took the effort to put in more weapons and skills for repeat playthroughs/different playstyles, it works really well! Though it was hard to read some of the description text since it overlapped with the other text on screen.

Developer

Ah thanks :) Yeah I spent a good amount of time adding juice and things like that, I'm glad you took notice. I've been planning to move the item description text somewhere else instead of under it, thanks for telling me though I'll add it to my todo list.

The game feels satisfying and juicy! I like the monochrome art style, and the different equipment you can choose before the game gives it some nice variety.  I think it would be better with sound effects, though. I also had an issue where the game would freeze after I lost and tried to start another round.


It also called me a broke boy when I lost, so it gets some points for realism.

Developer

Haha I'm glad you liked it :) thanks for playing, and I'll be sure to bugfix the restarting not working.

I like it!

The game feels super good to play and the art works really well. The different weapons and build variety you can do is interesting, but I feel like the game is lacking somthing design-wise.

Really enjoyable, keep it up!

Developer

Thanks :) I appreciate the feedback. I agree the game is a little empty when it comes to design, so I'll be working on that.

The game is fun but its feel pretty plain to me! I would suggest you add some kind of shake and audio when the player shoots or get hit overall I like the game!

Pretty fun game! The 1-bit artstyle, while simple, is still pleasing to look at, & the game definitely gets the feeling of moving around spot on. However, as TronusGames said, the game seems to freeze on a still background when you try to restart, & the absence of any sound effects takes away the opportunity for some good juice. Even some simple sounds from SFXR could've helped the game substanially in my opinion. Overall, a great game! Good job :]

Developer

Thanks man :) I couldn’t find any sound effects that fit very well so that’s why there aren’t any. I’ll bugfix the restarting. Thanks for playing :)

It seems pretty cool as concept. Just few strange things happened: when you try to restart it does not and maybe the controls are not so much familiar. But the bounciness of shoots are pretty cool ahah

Thanks for the feedback :) I was having trouble with the restarting during development so I’ll try to bugfix later on. :
