Smooth game play! I found the camera a bit jarring personally, but the presentation and polish is awesome. Overall fun to play, GJ!

Nice game! I love the aesthetic. Music, art, and pressure all sync up really nicely. I think you needed to throw your players a bone a little, though. Hp drops, or shorter loops woulda done the trick. Overall really impressive! I had a great time playing it!

I liked a lot! I love the graphics and the atmosphere of the game. The music and sound effect were really good!
The game is pretty challenging I liked it a lot.

Really great job!

I liked the music a lot, it fit the game perfectly! It's easy and intuitive control-wise but still challenging, also in my opinion it has great replayability. What would make the experience a bit better would be HP drops or maybe even slow regeneration. The many enemies make for great pressure and I get that if it was easy it wouldn't be as much fun, but a little 'help' would be cool. Maybe I'm just a noob, though :p Overall it's really well-made, I had a lot of fun playing!

The soundtrack is hype as hell. It would be cool if you shot automatically in-time with the beat (which was how I found myself playing most of the time).

cool graphics and also nice color palette! it really feels like i'm in a dark vault way beneath the surface. i have to say that the gameplay was a little bit too hard for me - but that's just me i guess :>

Fun little roguelite game. The art looks good. I think the screen shake was a little too much though.

Very nice. I think I would have preferred that you could hold the mouse button down for continuous fire but I dug the style and it's fun!

So cool, maybe fire can be pressed will be better, Remind me of Nuclear Thrones! Cool!

Cool game but i think you should polish the camera movement a little more, feels too jerky. Other than that, would be fun to have continuous fire and more weapon upgrades :)

Things I liked: Music, Art, Upgrades, enemy variety.
Things I didn't like: Camera jerked each shot, couldn't hold in to shoot (makes the faster shooting upgrade pointless for people who can't click quickly)

Overall I think it was solid and fun! Well done

That was pretty difficult!

Not sure I understand how I was leaving drops for myself, the upgrades seemed random.

Audio was nice, but really loud for me.

I agree with some of the other comments about the camera. I didn't mind the shake, but it didn't seem to be following my character like I would expect.
