After spending the first 9 hours of the jam completely blank on an idea, I decided to stop thinking while sober and instead go pick up a bottle of bourbon. Decided to take a short cut through a small out of the way, run down road to reach the main road, a bug hit me in my face. Then someone on a bicycle nearly hit me, then shortly after came a car down this barely-wide-enough for one person, let alone a car road. So I came up with the idea of an "infinite runner" bullet hell, with random monsters and bosses spawning periodically!

See how far you can get each run! Once you die, you'll have an oppertunity to upgrade the player / game experience and a chance to get even further.
※ Due to this being made during a weekend while working a full time job for one of the days, I could only do a handful of monsters / upgrades. In the future I plan on updating / continuing development and I'll add a ton of extra stuff!
Programming, enemy sprites, bullet sprites were done by me!
Music, particle effects, and the background were either royalty free or purchased in the past.
