A perfectly cromulent game. Unfortunately I could never find Beelzael after he was summoned. Weapon pickups were great, but I couldn't find a 2nd chain gun for my other hand.

Got 2 chain guns and could shoot at the boss from outside its range, great inventory system and nice items, could use some upping in difficulty :)

Quite a fun game. Controls felt good and the music was nice too. I had some trouble finding the boss, maybe some indicator would have helped.

Perlin-noise ftw! :D

First impression was that it was way too easy. Then I found the final boss.. Damn son! It felt like I was shooting that sob for hours! Died trying to kill him. :c

Simple but fun game!

Hope you guys had fun making it =)

Fun game, could use some polish and maybe be a little bit easyer. Thanks for the entry! :D

Very good! Could have been great if there were a few more different power-ups. Finally beat it on my third try.

Doesn't run. Also, please name your game something. -- I can't have a whole folder full of rar files all named "LudumDare.rar", it's too hard to keep them straight.

Somehow itch.io hosting is sooooo sloooow. I'm downloading the 30 MB in 25 minutes. :-(
And per default it asks everyone to pay/donate something for the game.

As for the game: It would have been nice if there were a description for the items so that you have an idea what they are doing. And there is an issue with the inventory there were free slots left and I could not pick up any more items. But also when I dropped items more appeared in the inventory,

Other then that the game was enjoyable, the music quite nice and I managed to defeat the demon. Nice work.

Cool little game, the demon was pretty hard, could not get him down in the end. :D End-game battle was cool tho.
Might want to increase the nr of items & basic enemies.

I had a hard time getting used to what was obstacles and what was ground, making me constantly wondering why I all of a sudden wasn't moving. Otherwise I liked that you had to move while shooting, it made it more interesting than if for example the monsters would recoil on every hit :)

Hey, I had a very good time playing your game! The beginning was not very fun, but get some wings, a machine gun and let the fun begin! Liked the multiple musics, and the fact that the environment was destructible too, which added some interaction (destroying obstacles, digging grottos...). Liked how the pesky water ennemies target the boss instead of the player :)

I would have liked to understand better the difference between the different objects I pocked. I saw no point in getting mutiple objects of the same kind, too, that filled my inventory unnecessarily.
