This meme-littered bullet hell keeps up the pace surprisingly fast, and the enemies pile up really quickly, but fun nonetheless!

6/10

Truly an experience. Running at 15fps on my beast of a laptop. I somehow managed to survive for one minute, but was wiped out by an onslaught of what I can only assume is Mr Krabs. My life is changed forever.

Clicked in for the title, stayed for the old memes. Game is nice, some kind of invulnerability period between hits would've been nice.
Audio was cursed :thumbsup:

The different paterns for the ennemies is cool, it adds some strategy. I won't tryhard the game because it's too punitive. You should add invulnerability when you get hit.

Good work !

Punishing, mostly. Everything moves too fast for melee-only combat to be really viable; I really would've liked a ranged attack of some kind, especially given the volume of enemies in play.

I also don't know what this game is doing behind the scenes, but this game gave me a warning that it'd exceeded my VRAM capacity - it didn't actually affect my performance, but it was a bit alarming to see that red text in the corner of the screen.

Super hectic meme-addled rampage you have made :D I like how you made the enemies behave differently so you have to plan a bit. I managed to beat the game by kiting everything running around the map and only hitting the small Walters. The music is also actually good in addition to being packed with so many meme sounds, good work!

It's always a fun idea to combine an old man with internet, isn't it? So you've made a cool game using those concepts, well done!
