So at first I was like, aw yeah cool, a top down shooter, looks pretty nice, nothing special though, then after the first round I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh cool! This is a really cool idea and I think you executed it really well, everything looks great, feedback is great, it plays well, a funny little story to contextualize it all, really great work! My only suggestion, not sure if it'd make it more fun but I thought it might be cool, is to have aliens stack up each round, so it gets more and more chaotic each time but each of your clones are still doing the same job they were before cleaning out the baddies from the previous round. I think the 30 bullets could've maybe been a bit lower too, I was able to cheese the game quite a bit by just standing still for the first 8 rounds, forgive my cheesing! Awesome work!

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah the ammo is generous but i didn't want to be to hard on players in a casual jam game. As for the enemies it would have been cool if ones from previous rounds came back. I didn't do that so i could introduce new enemy types without over-powering the player with old ones. The enemy count does increase in general, just very subtlety, if you aren't in endless mode. Thanks for the feedback!
