Ludum Dare #37compo
The Ninth Circle
Well. This was my first game jam and only my second game ever made, but I think it turned out alright.
===========================================================================
*THE NINTH CIRCLE*
Battle though hell by shooting the hellish monstrosities that come from the sky, earn sin coin to spend at the gun store on death and to reach higher scores. Upgrading barrels will change the bullet type and upgrading gun bodies will increase firing speed.
I hope you all like it!

Nice work!
Very well done!
I really like the art style.
very nice work!
Other than that, I have to second most of the other commentators, it feels realy counterintuitive that there is no way at all to get rid of those on the ground.
One last thing; when you're dead, falling coins still register when they hit you. Is this on purpose?
The sound effects were a bit annoying over time.
Also the weapon upgrades should be installed as soon as you purchase them. It took me several minutes to figure out that they weren't equipped automatically and I had to manually do this with the mouse.
And the difficulty curve could be a bit mor epolished. As soon as you have all upgrades you pretty much can't loose.
Also the enemies' bullets should be better distinguishable from the player's bulets. Maybe make the player's bullets green or blue or something like that.
But it is stil a good entry. Just some polish that could be done to further improve it.
