Interesting game. It reminded me of The Binding of Isaac. If possible, tone down the shake though. The user is shooting a TON of bullets and it can be slightly distracting.

Hi! I was not able to play game. I am using Safari and the is black. Just health bars and scene transition animation comes up.

Great game. Pretty hard too. I really like the art style. Those ducks are infuriating! Even in death they are a big hindrance. Yeah, the screen shaking is bit too much (I think I'm gonna barf :D). The game I played before this also has the screen shaking. Now I got a headache LOL.

Nice game but I have to aggre with the other ones that the screenshake is way to intense and is hindering

The shake is a bit much haha. Tough to time the dodge, too. Good start, though!

Really nice controls, I really like the dodge despites I'm really bad at using it correctly (but that's me). Nice difficulty level, and way to answer the theme.
Well done!

I also must say I was not sure exactly how the dodge was supposed to be used, was hard to move, use dodge, and shoot when I went with just moving and dodging it was tough to die but the game wouldn't progress. Not sure if a time limit where you win if you survive would be a nice addition. I liked the duck artwork also. Is there a way to get more health?

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

The controls feel super fluid, and the gameplay is really fun. Fit the theme very well.

Thats a huge amount of screenshake here :smile: The music fits the gameplay well. Just brutal.

Here is a short video from me:
