the game is just... an unoriginal endless top-down shooter, and there's lots of such games, especially in this jam.

if you want to make a nice game, take my (and nintendo's) advice - don't put some "cool" mechanics and stuff, and focus on the game being nice not to just you, but to players too. draw nice and unique art, make small mechanic like combo or something, don't make your plans very big.

every small detail counts! even the logo and it's font (that's why certainly knew it comes to the "Cringe" category).

don't forget to experiment what's good and what's bad - i often add random turbowarp extensions to see what does what.

anyway, i hope you make a nice game! see ya soon in the next one.

It isn't exactly endless, as it has an ending. It's definitely a step-up from its previous game, which is complete trash. What's the furthest point you've reached?

I also did everything I wanted in this game, and art isn't exactly my strong suit. I respect any opinions you have, of course.

well yes, i'm sorry for my mistake of calling wastelands 4 an "endless" shooter, but i believe my message is clear.

also, i didn't played the game too long, because it's very low-FPS and gently, it's not a fun experience. unless i didn't played the game for too long, but the game felt like an endless slow zombie shooter. i can actually help you with the next game, or just to update it, but i believe you might do it yourself! wish ya luck.

I respect your opinion. I did put in plenty of content in the game for the player to mess around with, with stuff like unique weapon upgrades, where you can upgrade your Minigun to shoot lasers and get the ability to charge up your pistol to pierce more than one time. In the second area, you even get a buddy with a sniper that shoots down zombie automatically. I honestly hate to see how the game is made unenjoyable by the game's slow start, and I will try to do better in future games. Also, you can move faster and decrease the time between enemy spawns by a bunch by holding D. Thanks for the feedback!
