This one was a lot of fun. The artwork and music really added to the experience. I almost wish it had more random unstable elements added into it. The addition of extra weapons was also a nice touch. Great job with this one!

Very nice, the random effects sure made if feel unstable. Quite difficult also.

This is awesome! I really like the different types of affix you can get applied to you. The Roguelike one in particular made me audibly go 'Ahhhh that's so cool!' Really fun - nice work :D

Overall the game was fun! It felt smooth and clean with great sound design! I f I could add one thing to this game, I would add more weapon variety and player effects to make the game feel a bit more chaotic, still a great game as is

Fun concept with the glitches! The flamethrower was 🔥

Loved the flamethrower! It's a fun game, though I would like to a larger variety of enemies. I could definitely see this be developed into a larger game.

Very high Fun rating from me! This was a pleasure to play. Powerups kept things fresh, and de-buffs shook everything up when you were getting too comfortable. I wish there was more!

whoop whoop screenshake! nice and straightforward :)

SUPER fun game! It really kept me on edge with the fast pacing, the crazy enemies and their attack patterns and the ridiculous mixture of weapons and buffs.

Graphics and sound were all pretty nice too and blended very well. Great job!

Great graphics and weapon mechanics! But when the room is cleaned, the back door opens into the void.

Super well done, very impressive! Missing some visuals (namely, the bomb's radius, and clarifying when some stuff triggers (I thought butt shot was a bug for the longest time)). All in all, fun, smooth and very well executed.

Your game are realy unstable, and this is cool, crazt mobs, crazy weaphones, crazy mechanics, I'll even advise your game to my friend

Really impressive amount of variety here, from the weapons and enemies through to the different modifiers (or I should I call them... instabilities? :smile: )

What I really liked about it (especially for a jam game) is that instead of losing health, you lose time when you get hit. It felt forgiving enough that I could afford to make mistakes, but not SO many that I don't need to put in any effort.

Oh and Funky Trap Sax is funky :saxophone:

I edited and uploaded my playthrough to YouTube if you wanted to check it out :smile:
