awesome art, and great music, gameplay feels good but the level is a bit too narrow or the enemy spawnrate to high for my taste

Nice entry!

I love the graphics and the audio. I didn't find any problem in the gameplay.

Nice aesthetics. It looks very inspired from Nuclear Throne (that's a good thing :D) One comment I have is to make the projectiles bigger, they are a bit difficult to see at the moment. Other than that, good job!

Really nice graphics and audio. The gameplay is also cool, but it was a little bit too hard for me. :D

The art style and music is great, the gameplay is good( but quite challenging) Well done! My only critique is that the 0 looks like an 8, so I found myself confused why is the gun not firing.

The music was incredible!! I really loved it. I didn't understand the perk system at first, but I think that might just be me. Once I played the game a bit I could do better each time and it became more enjoyable. Overall this is a fun game!! The art matched the atmosphere well too, I especially loved the color choice and the splatter on the wall when killing enemies.

Great game :D

+Gameplay is Simple but fun.
+The graphics look really good.
+the sounds and musik fits.

-The character slides of edges which is really weird at times.
-This game could really benefit from some Coyote time

here is an example. :D

The art is amazing!

I really liked the idea of looping the same level without resetting the hit points, this made every hit count.

The interface might need a little rework. I was confused about reloading and when I could or couldn't shoot.

The gameplay itself felt nice. Splattering pesky enemies with the shotgun was great :D

Nice roguelike survival game with fluid controls and awesome art and music.

Very nice pixel Art, and music + sounds are well made too, the game is in a good mood. But I find it difficult, because there's too much buttons, and I'm quickly out of ammo. And then I cannot destroy the boxes... Perhaps I miss something ? I cannot buy anything in the button cooldown. Perhaps I'm too bad to play this kind of game, sorry. Anyway, the esthetic is very well polished!

Great music and art, awesome gameplay. It was extremely fun to play. I think the enemy spawn rate could be a little bit slower or the level could be bigger. It felt too crowded sometimes :D Another comment I have is the state of magazine, the numbers regarding the state were really small so it happened to me quite a lot that I didn't notice I'm out of ammo and as the projectiles are small it was hard to notice in game as well. But those are really minor things, good job!

Small things to improve:

- gun sprites should rotate about their back. An easy hack is to make the sprite be bigger and filled with transparency if you don't want to do the rotating math.
- if you use W for jumping, you can use space for reload (as it's a common action)
- feedback on hit would make things feel a lot impactful. even just a brief tinting of the sprite. I didn't realize the boxes were interactible until 10 minutes of gameplay as they didn't react to me inial shot.

Overall I quite enjoyed my time with this game

Nice game! Love the graphics. The only issue is that the bullets are too low (At least for me, a guy who likes to spam bullets) and the boxes are a little sparse. Other than that, nice game!

Art is and palette is brilliant! Music as well. Sound effects are very good as well, I only find shotgun sound a bit annoying, but nothing to worry about! I love that dude's eyes! :eyes:

Really liked the music! Took me a while to get a hang of the controls and some stuff (like how I could shoot the boxes) was not obvious from the start, but enjoyed it more once I got the hang of things. Similar feedback to what other people have mentioned, larger projectiles and better UI particularly for tracking ammo.

Great looking graphics. I only wished there whas some better sounds when you shot your guns and some feedback to give them some weight.

waw this game is so cool, i was addict haha, the graphics and sons are very good and gameplay epic. Little things that frust me, it was the medic kit that can be take when we are full life, because we have to go fast and take direct after the box was destroy. Thanks for ratings "my game".
