Really cool idea! Entertained me up until I got to the 13th wave. I thought you said infinite, but I only saw 12.
Also, I don't think you convinced me that infinite gun barrels they seemed pretty good to me :)
Overall really great work.

Nothing wildly original, but nonetheless lots of fun, yet very difficult.

I like the art and the characters! I had fun and I enjoyed the simplicity of it.

Nice job, controls feel responsive. Decent amount of challenge. HTML5 version seemed to work fine for me.

simple and unoriginal, but still fun just like any other nuclear throne clone.

I like the art, the barrels and the music. But I don't like how you HAVE to traverse bullet heaven to survive. Regardless, good game. And the farthest I got was wave 6.

Basic idea but fun, really great music! I love how bullets don't disappear on screen edge, so I can fire blindly into general direction and hope it hit something :D Was struggling a bit until I discover that melee can kill bullet

Liked soundtrack. Graphics is solid. Gameplay itself is not very original but general flow of the game was good. Had fun playing it (4 waves and dead)

controls and camera movement was really nice. also liked the art and the shop mechanic (reminded me of killing floor). good job

Controls are really smooth, and the whole arena battle games is always something I find very fun to play.

My tip to improve the game is to try to gradually reduce the speed of the character when you stop pressing WASD. because it stops so quick it becomes just a little disorientating because of the fast speed of the character.

Otherwise, the music is great and the gameplay is fun! Good job! :)

Really good. But I'm a little concerned about the usage of violence.

Difficult to play on a laptop without a mouse.
Controls felt a bit weird, almost like the game was speeding up and slowing down at different times.

Didn't make it past wave 1, if I had a mouse I'm sure it would've gone much better :)

Got to 11 barrels before I had to stop due to the slowdown all the bodies on the floor were causing.
Great simple gameplay, funny mechanic, amazing music.

I've played arena shooters before, but the concept of "you gain more firepower automatically, but spend more ammo with each shot" really clicks with me. Also I love the way things get really "bullet hell" once enough enemies are in play. I don't think I've seen that in an arena shooter before.

Very nice! I knew I was in for a treat from the classic Doom vibes I was getting from the title screen. It's fun to run-and-gun around (though I feel the camera moves a bit too much for me) and the shop makes things interesting, though there wasn't much choice in my case -- I needed the hearts every time. The music fits and works well. I only ever made it to wave 3... but I had fun!

Broken link, please fix! It just says, "There was an error in your request" whenever I try to go to the site.

@notpresident35 seems like an issue on your end, the link has no problems for me or anyone else.

Cool idea, but really hard! Your game description is gold.

Challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKeEenFsX-8
