the confusing damage boxes combined with the bad camera (not enough view range) make for a frustrating experience, i didn't manage to beat it and the video that did had the ending not show. i couldn't beat level 2 and when i refreshed and was back to start i couldn't beat level 1. minscie i know this is a dumb request but can i just have a video of the ending so i dont have to throw my corpse a thousand more times at this game to get closure?

I uploaded a playthrough to comments above as you are not the only one who requested this. I agree what you are saying about the camera and hitboxes. There is always room for improvement, but I decided this is good enough for now. Thanks for playing anyway :)

if i was to make an update i would zoom out the camera, make a better health system, and perhaps give you a slow recharging ranged attack just so you arent completely screwed at mid range. and as what i know there are two hitboxes, a damage hitbox and an instakill hitbox, am i right?

No, there is only one hitbox, but you die if you are hit 3 times in the same level. Shotgun enemies shoot three bullets, so they may kill you instantly. I understand why it maybe feel like it, because there is no visual indications for health.
I spent a week on this project and learned a lot from the feedback everyone gave me. I'm not going to update this game any longer, but I'll consider making a top-down game in the future so I can address all the issues this game had .

honestly i think the best way to have damage without a healthbar is using that damage effect (reddened screen) to indicate health and having it regenerate over time, perhaps that 3 bullet limit but it regenerates over the course of 30 seconds? something like that.

I like that.
