It's the night of the living batteries. Shoot 'em up!

Controls are WAD and JIL. Either play two-handed, or with a friend.

Played two handed and it was a lot of fun haha. The flashlights added a lot of good tension as the waves got bigger and less was visible, fun stuff

Loved the music and the sound effects

Fun game! I like the idea of only being able to see enemies around where you are shooting. A lot of games like this revolve around being aware of all the enemies and which one is closest, but having that mechanic makes it much more interesting with having to search around and not knowing if a pesky battery is sneaking up behind you. Seems like it would be pretty fun with a friend, I tried it alone and trying to control both cannons became quite the mental exercise!

Very hard to play alone, but fun nevertheless!

Played alone and it is pretty hard to do, but fun. I suspect it would work great on two controllers or controller + keyboard :)

This one was a lot of fun! I quickly got overwhelmed playing solo, so I'm gonna have to try this multiplayer next time I have my nephew over. I loved the art as well.

67 seconds is my best, but I think with two people you can do more! XD
Pretty solid and fun gameplay! controles were tight enough to get the job done even with only one player.
Also the waves are not too much at the start.
Good work!

Fun and challenging. Has a retro feel to it, the art and audio were great and the concept was innovative. However, I don't feel it matched the theme very well because the "Running out of Power" part was just a healthbar system; The theme wasn't tied to the game's mechanics. But overall, it was quite fun! Good Job!

133.21 seconds two handed. Good multitasking training this. Fun, but having to spam the shoot button did become tiring by the end (very thematic!)

I think I ran of of batteries to shoot at one point, but it is hard to say as you end up constantly collecting new ones. I'm not even sure if there is such a mechanic in there due to lacking GUI elements. I would test it if it wasn't for the excessive amount of input spamming.

Good work!
