Wisp by Squeg Inc.
Wisp is a retro top-down shooter (how original!) where to survive you must COMMIT GENOCIDE. BLAST your way through HORDES of POWERFUL enemies and try to avoid a terrible fate for as long as you can manage.

Standard WASD or arrow-key controls, and left-click to shoot.

Gameplay was interestingly tight. A bit bare, but the way it's balanced does a lot with a simple setup. I feel like it's almost bad to pick up the power-ups that make you shoot faster, because you end up getting swarmed by enemies, and you die really fast (a couple of those explosive guys spawning on you is almost enough to kill you!) It might even be easier to get a high score if you ignore them as long as possible.
The music is nice (although the volume slider doesn't appear to work?) Some sound effects for shooting and enemies blowing up would've added a lot.
This is an impressive game to be made in 2 days, though. Nicely done!
Also it might have been a bug, but the music didnt loop for me after I died a couple of times. This sort of killed the mood a bit.
There are a few easy tricks to make it better:
-add some sfx (bullet impact/shoot)
-add some little screen shakes when player is hit
-make upgrades more meaningful
-add some enviroment (obstacles and covers)
Same as BlipBloops music died for me after dieing :/
Enjoyed the music but it only played once - you should definitely set that to loop. Just missing a few pew pew sound effects :smile:
Also liked how the enemies get announced by pentagrams.
All in all great look and feel.
