First Ludum Dare with @janastin.
You got stuck in a loop of portal connecting 4 rooms. Remember the door you chose so that you dont end up in the same room and find the upgrades and kill the boss.
Kill enemies -> Upgrade -> Kill the boss -> Keep the Upgrade-> Repeat

Great concept, it's a little hard to play, as the bullets do not exactly travel towards your cursor and the hit reg on the enemies is a little wonky. Additionally, when the player jumps, you get an error in the developer console. But, all in all, awesome game!

Controls feel good, shooting is great. I like the shattering effects throughout. Some tool tips or something would be great to give some guidance as first glance was a little confusing! Overall a good entry!

The shaders are making your game look really good :)
The game is pretty unforgiving and the shooting could be better, I feel like the theme "stuck in a loop" could be a more central but a cool entry overall.

I liked the game, it's fun to play. I found it a bit difficult to understand the bullet trajectory and that made shooting a bit tricky. The music is really nice, as the graphics that are simple, yet effective. Furthermore, the game is hard. It's not a bad thing, as you want to keep playing to get better.

@geryon-games _ I wanted to add weapon accuracy as an upgrade which will sharp shoot and show that with a cursor which will shrink in size to show better accuracy. Unfortunately,couldnt add them in time.

The music is nice and the visuals are simple but it makes it easy to understand what's going on.
The game looks fun but the weapon spread is so frustrating, i can't hit enemies even when very close to them.
Nice entry.

Good and fun game. But I think the player should be a different color than the floor, they are too similar right now.

Nice looking top down shooter, could use better hit detection. I like the way the sound slows on death, nice touch

Cool, nice visuals and music! I think it will be very fun to play if player can aim and hit the target easily... ^_^

It's quite hard, but fun. As other said, the direction of the shot is not really intuitive. A simple but cool game. I did'nt experience any glitch. Some kind of introduction/tutorial could be a cool addition!

classic concept. I don't liked that I did not shoot where my mouse was :-(
