Please Read This Description!
Squares Squares Squares
Everything is Square-y (No pun intended)
-Attack those squares and earn Points!
Too bad it's not that simple....
You have to sacrifice your points and guns!
-You use points as your ammunition (So be careful when using them)
-You can remove guns to get new guns (Might be better might be worse, it also uses up 20 points)
Controls:
-WASD to move around (This is the only thing that doesn't use points)
-Left Click to shoot (Points are used up depending on the gun)
-Right Click to change gun (Remember, it uses up points!)
You can get hurt if one of the enemies run into you, but you also get points (So, your choice)
Guns & Squares
All the Guns
- Normal Gun (An okay gun. Pretty usable)
- Big Gun (Normal Gun with higher damage and lower reloading speed)
- Even Bigger Gun (Fires a bullet that penetrates through Enemies and deals a lot of damage. Very good late game)
- Fish Gun (Fires a bullet that deals decent damage)
- Fishy Gun (Trash)
ATM Machine Gun (Good at destroying enemies with high health. It has higher chance to miss in long range)
(Side note: Bullet that each gun shoot indicates the amount of damage it deals. Just look closely)
All the Enemies (In the order they appear)
- Square (Leech mouth?)
- Big Square (Disgusting Lip)
- Times Square (Sorry, I ran out of ideas)
- Boss Square (Creepy smile that is not inspired by Joker)
It's best NOT to use the full screen mode. It breaks the aspect ratio

Made in 48 hours. Although I have two tests coming up the very next day. I mean, you must sacrifice something, right?

I don't know which one I prefer between the Fish Gun and the Even Bigger Gun xD
Good job!
I think that some nice additions would be:
Damage numbers;
Bigger arena;
High score;
Good job!
The gameplay has a lot of ideas, I like the concept of the different weapons, too bad it ends up being a quite basic shooter because there is so much to do with this concept. But I had a lot of fun with your game, so overall, good job !
I love the simple artwork, the sounds and I really love the mechanics and the shot effect!
The game is a little jowel, very nice game :smile: :muscle:
Like how it gets harder as you progress.
And yeah, ATM gun is strong
