great gameplay loop! the movement mechanic leads to some very interesting gameplay moments, though i found myself not having these types of situations very often since there was nothing stopping me from just moving to one side of the screen because no enemies would spawn behind me.

keeping making good games

Great work!  At first I thought the level/world was a bit empty, but that issue quickly went away lol.  The gameplay is really satisfying and I enjoyed using the power ups.  The art was also really great.  Awesome work :D

death anims are great!

Heh, you should check out our game. We had kind of a similar core idea

Nice game! Using the weapon for damage enemies and as a propellor at the same time is cool!!! With more polishing could be a very nice demo!!!

I love this. The idea of only moving using the recoil of your weapon is one I really like (I've made a platformer like that before and it's really fun to work with.) The sound effects are really satisfying, especially when you grab the minigun upgrade and use it with the shotgun. Would like to have seen the minigun rocket launcher, but I can see how that would have been game crashing. The game would probably benefit from having a custom cursor since I found myself scrambling to find my mouse when trying to switch weapon (alternatively, being able to switch with number keys would also work.) Incredible entry, great job!
