Well done! Though it’s hard to aim and shoot so I just dashed as far as I could =D Basically killed no plants.

George is a sweetie imo.  My strategy of running away didn't last long...

This is George propaganda.

But thanks for playing~

Sweet little bullet hell. Very hectic and hard but after you found out how to change weapons it's quite a nice. Didn't was sure if I get the weapon from the plant or if its just random and if i upgrade or downgrade xD

Developer

Thank you! The weapon was based on the enemy you killed, but I probably could've made that more clear. They could be upgrades or downgrades depending. Thanks for playing!

I love bullet hell games This was no exception. It got incredibly difficult very quickly for me however this does not take away from the awsome design and gameplay and it also looks and runs very smooth! I would possibly add auto pick up for the weapons should you choose to pursue this and also have the starting weapon a bit faster per shot. 

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! While I don't think I'll be continuing this project, its a bit of a mess in every aspect and I have other ideas, but I'll still be sure to try and apply this advice to other projects. Thank you so much~

very cool game, no volume slider, but the music is nice level and there's a mute button. I like the pickup radius a lot in this game but it's very hard to beat (also bc he can't be beat)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! And yeah, I wanted to include full volume settings for the music and the sounds, but the mute button was literally added the last day, so I'll take it. Thanks for playing!

The Bushel Seal of Approval. A great little game. As I said in my stream, the Q for "pick up" is a but awkward, the standard usually is E for interact/pick up. The Weapon icons dont seem to convey what the weapons do, they are distinct tho and you can elarn. And finally, the reticle being black caused me to lose the reticle often on screen. Maybe having it more cartoony and them a bright color would make it more visible!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I already heard most of the critiques having been on the stream, but still thank you! I'll be sure to make more use of E and in my next project I'm going to put extra focus on visibility and readability. Thanks for playing~

Actually very well done! Same difficulty as any other survivors style games, as I cannot get the first upgrade because I suck! Well done! music, sfx and walking animation on point! Love it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so so much! That means a lot!

Huge props to you for completing your first game! Fantastic Job! I'm not the best at bullet hells and found it a bit difficult to kill that first enemy and get your first upgrade, but once I could click and hold I got a bit better xD 

Developer

Thank you! And yeah, actually the game just thrusting you into it is one of my biggest regrets for the game but I'm still happy with it. Thanks for playing!

Very fun, I like the speed of the bullets, just right to be able to evade them for a bit. I was not very good at killing the baddies but I liked the map and lasted a while with a big crowd behind me. 

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I actually slowed down the bullets just before I uploaded the game, so I'm very glad to here about that! Thank you for playing it!
