Incredibly satisfying minimal twin-stick shooter. Had a very fun time absolutely anihilating this.

The controls felt realllyyy fluid and great to me! I'm surprised and curious as to how you coded it! Otherwise, I'm not sure how to progress in this game or if its bug. Otherwise, fun gameplay loop! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in<3 vod Day 4 @ 2:24:30

Fun game! I broke it a little and the core level never went up, but I still had fun with the broken stuff 

very solid mechanics, fun and frantic immediate game loop!!! :D

That's a very fun and fast paced game there! The difficulty scales (haha) quite fast though, so getting past a certain point was pretty hard. Still, with some balancing (and a pause button) this has some great potential!

fun challenging litle game <3

culdn't get past lvl 3 )= loved  everything about it

Neat little game! Would've loved some additional progression  since it's become stale being up against the 4 enemies. Love the fun and goofiness of upgrading the health so it goes off screen :D

Music and SFX is on point and was the main reason I sat through up to Core level 8. Then I got distracted and my core died.

Extremely satisfying feel - shooting feels punchy, and especially appreciate the quality of life feature of holding to repeat shoot.  Music is also fun. Nicely done!

Nice work, easy to figure out and simply fun to play! I could see you expanding this post jam to have different types of core food in various rooms or even expand the idea to a roguelike in the vein of Rogue Legacy. But that might be scope creep.

Dude, it feels good to play and looks great. Screenshake, particles, dash – it’s got everything a good top-down shooter needs. I think I’ll play this game later too, to beat my record

Amazing game! I really like the visual effects when shooting and how crazy it got with multiple projectiles. The risk-reward system in this game was so good as you can choose whether to buy upgrades or save your core, and whenever you leave the combat area, your progress in it resets, making you want to stay for more time. This game actually made me want to play more and more, and the only critique I can give is: more accurate scale bar - when you feed the core, the bar doesn't match up with the amount you are giving it (it continues to fill up after you leave) so you don't always know how much you need to give it and how much you can keep. Also more enemy types obv and more rooms with harder enemies but better rewards, but this is obviously a 4 day jam only so its amazing you were able to get this far anyways. Great job :)

Minimal art and simple design really stands out one of the best top-down shooter I have played so far!

this is a really cool game! I like the mechanic of having to pick between healing the core and upgrading yourself, therefor increasing the speed at wich you can heal the core.

Great game reminds me of Geometry dash. Fun gameplay. Really cool game

Very fun game, I would like a checkpoint system on the waves just so that I can see what else you got

Spent all my money on upgrades, left the core to rot, would do it again 10/10

I like the simplicity of one currency for everything. It feels complicated deciding what to do and managing it, but not overwhelming which is nice in a game jam. Super juicy, no bugs that I encountered, and the music reminded me of Undertale which is always welcome!

pretty neat! hope you expand on it!

The game is nice, love the juiciness

Concept is simple but I can't think about a game with something like that

It makes me think a bit about space invaders, even though it isn't

The music is really nice

Using a custom font is a good idea

At first, the graphics looked a bit flat, but when you play, it actually becomes unvisible because the juiciness is really there and the simple colors actually help focusing on the enemies and objects
