The mechanic are really fun, especially the multiple weapons and shooting. My one complain is that the doors opening and closing are just a bother. It makes all enemies group up on one side and you dying once you pass through them

Nice bullet hell type game. Good work finishing!

Developer

Thanks!

I like the retro flash vibes but I'm very bad at it haha. I think it would have been cool to seen more engagement with the scale mechanic but I do like the gun variety!

I like it a lot! It reminds me of the top-down shooters of the late 2000s.

Thanks!

Cool little game, but very hard! If those robots spot you and you manage to skip back out of the room they camp the hell out of that door and you're not getting past haha. Overall, nice job!

Pretty cool, replace the green part of map will be much better, like the concept design.

Fun game, and appreciated the heal on enemy kill. I did get a bit annoyed with how easy it was to get stuck on corners

The healthbar is SO COOL!!!!! Had a ton of fun even though I was getting bodied by HTML-pilled scaletrons. I can't imagine how annoying it must've been to lose power mid-jam but you did a great job even with the lost time!

Developer

Thanks! LOL'd at HTML-pilled.

Was super difficult but then I saw your description about the damage bug and tried the windows version; was much more playable.

would prefer if dying didnt restart the whole game but pretty good

Developer

Thanks for playing! I originally had it so it only restarted the room, but I had a problem with the player being doubled and it was easier to just restart the whole game than figure out how to fix the bug

I liked the “Health Scale”, it is a fun implementation of the theme and the story seems interesting, I just wish there would have been some sort of introduction to it in the game like a cutscene or something. But overall it's fun and quite challenging.

Developer

Thanks! Didn't have enough time for cutscenes sadly.

Game is fun to play , Nice smooth control.
From seeing game icon , I thought it as something else , but maybe that will be boss fight where I haven't reached,
Little tough for me ,haha...
But always love to see shooting game . Good work

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The giant robot in the icon is meant to be the level itself, with the player scaling it from the inside, starting in the leg, then up to the body, and finally the head. I was going to add more stuff to indicate that in-game, like an animated background of the city being trampled by the robot, and a screen telling you the backstory of the game, but I ran out of time before I was able to do that.
