Big Flash era vibes. Silly & simple. <3

The fact that this has multiplayer is crazyyyy

Developer

Lol, yeah it does not seem like a game that would have a multiplayer.

On the downside, I need to pay $5 a month, and while I'm fine with that, it's unfortunate that I've only seen about 3-4 people in the lobbies before. This lack of players could be due to my lack of experience in attracting others to the game; I'm thinking social media might help, although I'm just starting to use it.

On the positive side, if this game were to attract even 1,000 players, it could become a bit overwhelming at first (only 17, so balancing the game with school could be tricky at first).

Surprisingly engaging! I didn't get it to work on Firefox, but it ran after switching to Chrome. I thought getting Critical Hits on a balloon was pretty funny. I'd suggest offering some progression much sooner, like, maybe you can get a first item for 7500 gems instead. Thanks for the laugh. :)

Developer

Lol, yeah, the critical hits on balloons made me laugh when making it too, same for stunning them (with the slowleak weapon).
Thank you so much for leaving feedback and trying it out! I believe I will be releasing a major halloween update Oct 24th, which will slightly have more progression (like over 7 weapons), and new game modes.

Thank you so much for giving it a try and leaving feedback!
Great to see the game being played a lot more this week, since now this will help me add/fix things in time (for the games next update).

Had trouble getting it to work on Safari as a browser but it worked totally fine when I opened it in Chrome! Very fun - the sound effects made it even more satisfying. Very much enjoyed collecting my gems. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
Currently, I'm working on performance improvements because if you did not notice, each wave your fps may drop by 5-10 frames after wave 3. 

Anyways, the performance should be a lot better next update, and I will also add 1-2 more gamemodes (like VIB and quickmatch), more weapons, and a halloween theme.

Anyways, thank you so much for the feedback again!

once i got playing i enjoyed the gameplay itself, however i had to refresh multiple times to be able to start. for some reason the ui was locked and i couldn't figure out what to do. i really like the upgrades and progression and the aesthetic, however i think improved sound and ui design would allow you to gather much more feedback. 

Developer

Not sure, but I had someone with a similar problem, where they said they were basically stuck.
The problem was that they did not click the golden "Submit" button at the bottom right side of the screen, which will then unlock most controls. If this is not the problem, I will try look into it.

Thanks for the feedback,  and currently I am working on optimizing the game's performance (especially on mobile). I will also try improve the sound, but a lot of the sound+music may change  next week (halloween update), so I might work on that later.
Thank you again !

It's Kinda Weird and delayed on Phone

Developer(+1)

LOL!
What the heck, you actually managed to play it on a phone?
But yeah, for now, it is designed for more laptops/computers, which is why a mouse is needed (or atleast I thought until now).

Anyways, after I add a halloween update (may do that if more players arrive), I will be making a mobile supported version!

Ok thnx

Developer

If any one takes the time to play this game, I will really appreciate it if you play the multiplayer, since i am lacking feedback here. I want to know if I have any bugs here, and if its running right (no performance or network issues). Well just the whole gmae in general, and what weapons you enjoy using etc.
