Had a few error messages when i tried to play the game but I was able to give it a go - wasn't sure at first how it fit the theme but didn't take long for the bodies to start piling up and get in the way. Would've been nice for there to be some way for you to deal with the lack of space issue - some way for the players skill to be more of a factor - some way for the player to reduce the effect of the bodies pilling up if they are able to do something that's difficult- I'm rambling but hopefully you know what I mean. Good effort.
Thanks for checking it out @s-knight. And I thought that at first too. But the space bar is actually supposed to clean up some of that which is the yellow bar that charges up at the bottom of the screen. We should probably do a better job of letting players know that and perhaps charge it faster. Thank you for the feedback and checking it out.
pretty cool game. i like the level up mechanic after each wave coz i thought that the game would be impossible with such a slow bullet. if only it's more fast-paced with shorter spawn time for the enemies. i think it would make the game feel more exciting! overall, a good take on the theme! (plus points for having an uninstaller! :D)
Pretty cool Cf2.5/mmf2 game. But for me You should change speed of a bullet, because it is weird that after 2 movement speed upgrades, player is faster than bullet. And also You should disable F2 button, because it restarts the game. Anyway good job
Great little game! You had a pretty similar idea to my own entry but I think what really lifted yours was the inclusion of upgrades, they really add a nice sense of progression and achievement. The difficulty curve is just right as the game gets more and more hectic. Graphics and audio work well although my only suggestion would be to give a little more feedback on hits. Very enjoyable game - thanks!
Thanks @martintristan I agree, this is an issue we talked about a lot. Hopefully, we can build something a little better in the future on this same concept. Thanks for checking it out and leaving feedback.
@panurge Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Sadly not all the SFX were implemented as I originally intended. But the coder did what he could for the time spent on the game. Thanks again.
@chadrbanks Thanks for trying, sorry you didn't get to try it. ( myself primarily use Mac and had to use wine bottler to run different PC apps/games so I know how you feel. We did have a HTML version, but sadly it was broken so we took it down, but we are in the process of fixing it, hopefully soon. Thanks for commenting and we will let you know as soon as we having a working HTML version.
oh my gosh why do I love being a cute little adorable square and killing things. this is so great and you incorporated the theme well. ever watch markiplier??? the box reminds me of tiny box tim
