Live as long as you have as these vile beings are out to get our poor robot protagonist! Your energy is rapidly running out so it's a good thing these guys will sometimes drop power for you to use, but be careful getting too much energy and you'll overcharge, increasing your abilities and giving you a larger capacity but lowering your current charge amount and make you consume that energy all that much faster!

Enable Googly Eyes for the (personal) best experience!

Long mode is also available for those who want the monster spawning curve smoothed out a bit,

Controls:

WASD - Move

Esc - Pause Menu

R - Restart Game or Level

1,2,3 - Select option during level up

Took me a couple play throughs to get past the first few seconds of the game but once I did I really enjoyed this. I found myself laughing a decent amount at the sound effects (which were my favorite type of sound effects). I think if movement speed was offered as a skill level up immediately it would be a little be better (maybe it is completely random and I just got unlucky).

Is there any way to aim other than it just shooting at the closest enemy? I wasn't sure, sometimes it seemed like there way and other times it didn't. In any case, I've rated this one the highest of the few I've played thus far. Good luck!

I like the game, but either i always chose the wrong upgrades or you need to balance the game a little. I got to kill ~5 enemies, after that there were so many of them that my shots basically never got thru their shots. And at minute 3:08 i randomly died at ~30% hp - either a lot of invisible shots hit me or there is a hidden timer x)

The variety in powerups was actually pretty nice. Good stuff :thumbsup:

Though the game could have been a lot faster, like if everything just moved and shot faster, I think it would be better.

Cool concept, but the game gets a little laggy at the 3 minute mark. Cool concept overall but highly dependent on the upgrades. Enjoyed it.

_OH YEAH THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF_

I loved the the voice acting for the game and all the sound effects. More games in LD should experiment with that! I think the game would benefit from faster movement, it felt like I was crawling and I eventually had a hard time dodging shots. Good game, nicely done!

This was a bit painful to play :D I like the voice sounds and humor. But gameplay wasn't very well balanced. Monsters join at a much faster rate than what you can kill. And since you can't aim, it's really frustrating to have the guy switch target when one more hit would have killed a monster. Music is a bit annoying as well (but loved the inclusion of volume slider!), and I'm generally of the opinion that no music is often better than annoying music.

Great game! Got the vampire survivors vibes. Loved the enemy types and different upgrades. Think replacing the music with sfx would maybe help the games sound but other than great entry, especially given the time!

Interesting mechanics with shooting and enemies running away! The art style is cute. The music is a bit too much for me. Anyway, good job!
