Really fun. Good job :)
The game was a little slow.
Individually the sprites are nice, but it's hard to tell what's what as everything (objectives, loot, enemies, terrain) all blends together. I like the PC sprite a lot though, he's rad.
The gameplay is hectic and fun, but I do have a few complaints.
The player hitbox is a tad too big. If enemies come outside of the screen, around corners or spawn right next to you there is too little time to react before they collide into the cart.
I'd prefer a secondary single shot attack which only hits levers, or something similar, as accidentally shooting a lever multiple times is annoying.
Health pickups or, I can't believe I'm saying this, regenerating health might also work to reward skillful play even more.
Pretty fun game, I would have liked to have some more mechanics, but what you had there was good. Good job :)
I can focus on killing and shooting instead of steering.
Like the badass guy in the cart too!
Love the level-design, among other things :)
I was kinda missing an overall directive though, I was not really sure if I was trying to get to a certain point in the level or just had to make as many points as possible.
The game is good, but since the bullets go through enemies, it's hard not to shoot those scepters...
Nice game. :)
