w,a,s,d move mouse shoot espace reroll the next weapon p pause m mute
Goal : reach the boss by falling in the holes enemies does when they die. All 20 sec you earn a new weapon (reset when you fall in a hole). Weapons earn stats each time you get it. Every 10 kills you got a reroll token. Use it with space. Boss life fall down with time you spend on all level (don't rush it).
Great idea, well done! It took me a while to figure out the acutal mechanics, but I had fun doing so! Haven't been able to beat the game yet...
The backgrounds are somewhat disturbing :P.
Congrats on finishing the game!

Interesting idea, I found the weapon-swap timer to be a bit frustrating, especially when I accidentally reset it, or it game me a rubbish weapon (eg the shotgun).
Some nice ideas in there though, and the basic moving and shooting felt very solid. Good work.
Really difficult to understand without instructions, had to go back here and re-read your description, but after that it all made sense. And I was able to enjoy it. It get's really easy when you just try to re-roll the same weapon until it just gets incredibly strong. (The automatic weapons are still the most powerful). I would suggest making the weapon timer shorter, because it's really punishing having a really weak weapon for 20 seconds. Eventually I was able to beat it.
Solid top down shooter! The sounds are a little bit annoying and need to be tuned, but that is a minor complaint given the amount of time. Other than that: Well done!
Nice game. I saw the theme to fit very well. It was a lot of fun to play! A little loud maybe. Some of the weapons felt too weak (shotgon). Great game overall =)

Would delay the boss just a little bit!
Great game overall =)
