Really fun gameplay, a couple of extra power-ups would really help the replay ability, nice music, strange but not bad art, interesting idea but overall it's fun and that's almost all that matters haha, great job! :D
Glad you love the crazy idea we came up with and enjoyed our game! It is up to the player how they wish to pursue and play the game, picking weak upgrades means player will most likely die to a massive swarm of enemies, on the other hand, player may have a difficult time dodging bullets from the turret due to the turret being stronger. Definitely thinking of ways to improve so that players can play the game for just a tat bit longer bit of time. Our leaderboard also took a while but glad we got it implemented! Thanks for your comment and thanks for playing!
My lord the aesthetic is perfect! The music feels so on point with the vaporwave vibe, and the win98 menus are great! The game is great, maybe it would help if it would ramp up a bit faster!
You can check out the game I made art for <3
Glad you love the art! Will tell our artists that you really like it! Same with music as well, our artists and composer definitely worked very well together and have the same vision for the game, to have the same style that works with one another. I am glad you love the music, the vibes and even the win98 menus.
We are definitely working on ramping the game up in the near future :D to get things going.
I definitely will check the game out and leave my comment there :D
Love it! The game is really good an interesting as your upgrades can affect my survivability in both positive and negative ways! I liked that there's a leaderboard too!
Very fun and love the vaporwave theme. My only complaint is that there should be a way to select upgrades with the keyboard rather than the mouse. I don't like having to quickly switch between them every time they appear.
Very entertaining and addictive, but in a good way. I especially love the 80's retro Computer vibe. Great Job.
I really love the vaporwave aesthetic and the overall concept and idea! I think having a leaderboard is also a nice touch!
Thank you for playing! The concept of vaporwave was new to us in the art team as well, we're glad it came out well! A big thanks from the art team for your appreciation on the visuals! And I'm sure the devs are happy to hear about the leaderboard cause they spent a lot of time perfecting it! Thank you once again for spending time on our game!
A super cool shooter and very well done! I really enjoy the feedback loop of upgrading the gun to kill enemies easier, but could also make it harder for the player's movements. Adding some barriers or enemies that can absorb or reflect the projectiles could really spice it up even more. Awesome work!
This is well done! There's a lot of interesting theming options for a game like this, I think it has a lot of potential to be expanded.
I loved this! I would love to see some obstacles, though, since I found I could mostly just run in a circle and was ok for a long time. Great job, though!
Hey, I wasn't able to get on here for the last few days of ratings, but in case you do see this, I feel like mostly I'd like a bit more variety. So, obstacles could block my path as well as the enemies, the gun could be on rails and move around the level, enemies could shoot as well to add more of a bullet hell feeling to the whole thing. These might be good or bad ideas, I just feel like I really liked the concept and it felt good to play, but I just wanted a bit more variety, if that makes sense.
Really cool idea, and good gfx/sfx. Would like to see this get a bit more jumpy though, maybe with more speed, or obstacles that enemies hide behind, so you need to lure them out, stuff like that.
Definitely has potential!
This game is great! I love how the upgrades make you do more damage but also put you at a greater risk. A couple of suggestions for polish would be to add a glitch effect to the screen when you dash to give it more impact, maybe add an option to skip upgrades (that you cant use more than once in a row) to make the choices more interesting, and to make enemies drop a larger quantity of less valuable xp particles (which add up to the same amount as they do now) rather than big ones since people have monkey brains and like when theres more of something. Great job overall!
I was so determined to get onto that leaderboard! Didn't quite make it - I'll have to settle for the #15 spot. That's a great way to keep me playing for much longer than I otherwise would have.
There's something very poetic about the scenario. Engineering a situation in which you're not in control at all, but in which you can manage the chaos just slightly better than your opponents. Feels metaphorical for something, I'm just not sure what.
Not gonna lie, this game is very addictive. Easy-to-play, hard-to-master kinda game. Next thing I know, I've been at this game for hours, trying to beat the high scores at the leaderboard. Here are my two cents: (1) Allow full-keyboard usage, as in enabling keyboard to select buff, not mouse. (2) Maybe can add in different game modes whereby scoring are counted differently, maybe based on enemies killed, or a mode with auto-picked buffs (3) More fun buffs! (4) More fun enemies! (5) Maybe can add in random-spawn buff like a bomb that clears the map. (6) Co-op mode! Imagine being able to play with 3 or more friends in the same map and see who's the last man standing.
Overall, really enjoyed this game. Keep up the great work!
