In this one room roguelike you fight against other geometry in a small space which continually gets more cramped with enemies. Fight for the best highscore!
There are basic powerups to improve stats such as bullet speed, movement speed, damage, firing speed and more!
Along with this come 5 unique enemy types. The Bouncer, Soldier, Sploder, Buster and Spawner.
The idea for the spawning mechanics came from a passage on the risk of rain about page (http://riskofraingame.com/about/) where it states the game is run by a hidden "director". As the game goes on this director has more points at his disposal to spawn more and more enemies.

The beginning feels a bit slow after you played a few times though.
The controls are tight with one exception, you ove faster diagonally, 5m/s up and 5m/s right add up to 7.07m/s diagonally so you might wanna account for that.
Overall this is the most addictive LD game I've played so far!
It felt a bit unfair to lose 3 health points for one shot, but not frustratingly unfair.
My score is 2628!
