Fun little game for the first time, but doesn't really have anything after that. For me the game kept on lagging after not killing anything for a moment and killing one, and it was very easily replicated. The enemies were a bit too simplistic to get any difficulty out of them as they could be circled very easily.

WEll done! Fun game! 

Tho I didn't fully understand how and when ammo ran out, so it would be a nice touch to let the player know about the ammo.

Otherwise a very well done and polished game! :D

The design is simple and effective: while maintaining minimal art, I enjoyed the presence of key animations (enemy death, grabbing items), since they make the game modern despite keeping a retro feel.

Also good choice in making a boss appear sometimes, as it adds a little variety and poses a challenge.

If I may suggest some feedback, I would add multiple enemy types (slower, faster ones) and give the boss a little feedback on the fact it has been hit (such as small particles), but overall it was a great job, the game worked and I haven't encountered any bugs (got to a high score of 178)

Thanks for the submission, all the best! :)

Thanks for the feedback, and for playing!

Cool game!
Once I realised I was running out of ammo, I was more conservative with my shooting.
The dash mechanic was cool to burst through a horde of enemies!
The screen shake got a bit nauseating after a little while, though.

Nice job!

I really liked this game! It got repetitive after a while and if you do have ammo I feel it should be displayed somewhere, but that didn't stop me from having a great time. The dash feels really impactful, like you really are unleashing a powerful attack! I ended up getting a score of roughly 300 before I stopped. If you could find a way to make more variation throughout gameplay this could be a really cool game!

Fun game ! Not sure to fully understand why i can't shoot sometimes ? Looks like an ammo limitation.

Developer

Yea, I meant to have text for ammo, but didn't have enough time. Thanks for playing though!

Great work! 

Really fun! The simple graphics are really nice and the game has a lot of juice to it!

Feel good to play! The audio is simple but adds a lot. I had some horrible lag spikes on web on like every third kill, but on the downloadable version it was fine. I noticed there is some kind of ammo system, cause sometimes I can't shoot, I just wished this ammo was clearly communicated to the player so I knew how to "save" it more effectively.

Developer

Yea, I was in a rush near the end, and didn't get to add a few things I wanted to. Thanks for playing though!

Fun game with tight controls. Well done!
