Note: we implemented Online High Scores, but unfortunately external www calls are not supported in our webserver, so we have disabled this option for the WebGL build. Look out for a standalone build that has Online High Scores.

Winner winner! At first it seems like a boring game, but the difficulty rises quickly. Love the detail hidden in the artwork. Animation and art style of the main character, monsters and death animations are nice. The level itself is a bit blunt. The falling hat of one monsters deat animation is awesome. To bad there are not more monster variations after level six. But great work!

Camera is a bit tricky but manageable. :)
Thanks for NY mood.

Pretty decent and complete game. The walking controls were a bit weird, especially the way the camera acted behind the player made me a bit sick.

Well the graphics look great! I felt like this sort of game would have played a lot better with a mouse though. I love third person shooters, but the movement in this one felt a little clunky. The actual waves of enemies were good and I liked the level design.

GG took a bit to get the controls, I am use to mouse movements.

Nice looking game, good atmosphere! I think I ran into a bug or something, I killed off all the monsters but it never went past level 1 and they stopped spawning. I think the camera control is a bit wild, its a little hard to navigate, but nice work overall!

Nice looking game, but I didn't really find much to do. I maybe misread some of the instructions but I just sorta wandered around shooting things occasionally. The (keyboard) controls were a bit too touchy as well, it was hard to aim.

Camera a little bit weird, but cute little game anyway

It fun! Main character is so cute :) Camera is not easy

The character animation for walking was nice, adn the level seemed decently thought out. However, the controls were very frustrating, and by the time I got the bazooka, there was nothing left to blow up. I really wanted a super satisfying bazooka shot when I got it, but it just felt like a blue version of the first gun :(. SFX are pretty solid.

Pretty fun and interesting arena shooter. The camera angle could be a lot higher though. Most of the time the view just seems obstructed.

The camera angle is very frustrating :c

This is nice. I didn't like the controls though. That's strange that you don't have any builds but WebGL (because you're using Unity) and that's strange not to bind camera and shooting to a mouse as usually done on PC. I couldn't find rockets ammo, so was wasted on level 5.

I found the camera to be the biggest obstacle in the game but once I got the hang of it the game was pretty fun. The difficulty does ramp up and due to the players slow backward movement it forces you to move and not camp and fire. Nice work.
