My hatred of robots only grows with each level. 5 stars.

Really enjoyed it. The concept is a bit generic but cool anyways!

It certainly got harder with every level.

Cool purple theme.

I think the guns should shoot more pellets, for a better game fell, feels like a bit of a weedy shotgun. Doesn't have to do more damage, just needs to feel bigger.

The choice of punishment every level is pretty cool.

The difficulty upgrade is really interesting !
It's a bit hard to see if you're hitting something (the sound is good but an health bar / movement from the ennemy would be better)

Fun game to play, i wish i had one more weapon to kill them all!

In a certain way it kinda looks like we had the same base idea for our game :joy:, but your way to make the player choose is penalty make the player feel more like he is in control of what he does and that's great!

nice visual style and cool arcade-y sounds. the accuracy of the gun was kind of frustrating. i had the feeling that i wasn't hitting enemies, even when standing right in front of them. or at least that's what the shot projectiles suggested. i believe i heard a hit sound indicator. other than that cool shooter :)

@fskr I have some issues with the weapon feedback / sound effect, and not enough time/skill to correctly fix it ^^

Hard game. It has lots of potential, but the game has some minor flaws.
First off all bullets are the way to random. It is hard to kill the enemies and not to lose some health. Tweak the spreading and it will be better.

UI is good, but I think you should pick the difficulty instantly without pressing Enter.

The ghost creatures have alot of health! It's fun to play but very difficult.

The bullet spread was a bit frustrating, I feel like increasing the spread would make for a good weapon malus. Everything else was great, though! I especially like the visuals.

The bullet needs to shoot faster and maybe lesser spread. There are some missing audio that could give more feedback to the player, such as reloading. I would prefer the bullet to be more like hitscan as that would give the bullet a better game feel. Other than that, this is a fun and challenging small game.

Nice little shooter. Like the concept of downgrading

Nice game!

Great shooter, downgrading is cool. I was able to survive just few rounds though.

Keep up the good work!

Pretty good UX for navigation and was a pretty fun arcady wave shooter fps. Only thing is the shotgun bullet pellets travel way too slowly relative to player movement speed. When you are strafing it seems the bullets travel almost diagonally because of the velocity direction addition. I was also sad that I couldn't bhop :((( but nice job with the game!

I wish there was an ongoing soundtrack. Otherwise fun.

@revolutiongt I had no enough time to search cool 8bit music, bad auto management ^^'

Overall, not bad for a ludum dare with a team of 1. I think the game could have benefitted from a little more 3d movement (higher jumps). But still, the downgrades definitely made the game harder. Good Job
