Nicely done! Reminded me of the wonderful days of my Sega Mega Drive. I liked little things like the screen shaking from gunshots. Adds atmosphere.

Hi! The game is great but it feels a bit too grindy! Augments are not impactful enough but maybe I was just unlucky with my drawing!

The graphics and and mood are really cool, loved it!

Thanks for playing!

@pauljs yeah I agree, this time around I really focused on having a complete game loop and sound effects, but ended up short on time for the upgrade system variety and enemy variety.

Very nice game! The sound effects and dashing through the enemies feels very satisfying. Also love the retro feel. The only problem i have encountered is an error where after playing a few rounds the game suddenly crashes.

The art is great and such an interesting style.
I also enjoyed the sounds effects and the theme of the environment.
Wish I had more options as the demon!

Great game! Really fun! If I could make one suggestion, it would be a custom cursor because I kept losing track of my cursor in the piles of enemies. Three fireball upgrades, and the game gets REALLY fun, lol. I didn't really understand the purple guys, am I supposed to guard them? keep them in the circle? not sure... But I rather enjoyed the game, until I crashed... hope what I could fit of the error message helps...

Nice game, I liked the melee too, definitely satisfying. I also got a crash after about 4-5 levels. Really liked the intro art too.

I uploaded a new version that should be much more crash resilient, and also fixed an error in my random selection that was excluding some upgrades. I also made a small tweak to display 6 upgrades instead of just 3 so you can get powerful pretty fast.
