Nice game! I like the concept of random walls. But the player moves too fast to catch the items sometimes. The enemies sometimes get stuck into walls and other enemies.

Very fun, the weapons feel good and I think the fast and slippery movement combined well with the precise item pickups, it means you have to slow down and put yourself at danger to get health back. Gets quite easy with the upgraded flamethrower XD

What a pity there is no web version :(

The controls were a bit buggy (mouse aiming was glitchy and the game over menu didn't work for me), but it was still really fun! I liked how the level terrain changed each level, and the variety of different weapons. The player movement was a little too fast though, which made it hard to control where they were going. Nice work!

Once I get the flame thrower it's all over. Rockets don't even compare honestly. Cool little game, looks like an old flash game although I guess it's Java? The player has momentum that gets kinda floaty and I bounce off walls with momentum - the momentum in general feels a bit hard to control. It's fun despite that though. I wish there was some fitting audio. Nice submission!

I would like a web version and some upgrades on the controls, but overall a nice game. A good start and if you want some updates will be amazing.

I enjoyed this! The flamethrower was of course the weapon of choice, the only improvement I would make is add some sound, but as a one person entry this is really great!
