I like it! It's the right difficulty, and it's easy to go for one more try. Minor remark, some of the upgrades feel like downgrades (like the bomb, it slows your shooting speed enough that I think I prefer regular bullets)

Very cool game, fun gameplay and nice upgrade system. I got me a butt and it helped a lot!

The Butt is hilarious (and also very effective!)
Great game, really enjoyed it! An excellent compo entry!

Simple, fun, has an upgrade called "butt". Amazing. Bomb upgrade definitely ended my run though, the firing speed nerf seems way too harsh considering the AoE is so small, that ratio could use some tweaking. Big points for having an actual scoreboard

Great game! It was a lot of fun to play and quite difficult but not too hard to feel impossible. Made me want to try again!

Cool entry, the "butt" upgrade made me laugh.
the score board is a nice touch

Simple but solid and fun gameplay loop. Definitely enjoyed it. As others mentioned before, the bomb upgrade can quickly end a run. For the humor rating: There's a butt upgrade. What's more to say here? ;)

Fairly enjoyable, I ended up replaying a few times to get a better score (wasn't successful in doing so) you hit the theme on the head! And as everyone here has been saying, The butt upgrade. Not only funny but also very useful :)

The butt is the best weapon :) Very complete and fun to share with friends!

I like the simple abstract but very clear graphics and some lighting effects. The upgrade cards are nice too. A tried concept but I think you hit all the check boxes. A little bit humor thrown in as well. Would love to see more enemies. Good job!

It's a known concept but well executed! I had enough fun to finish 3rd in the leaderboard :p. Well done!

Very nice implementation with pleasing weapon recoil, plenty of weapon choices, good use of lighting/shadows and sharp vector art.

That's a very addictive and fun game! My only concern is the music that I found a bit weird, but the art is good and the gameplay is great! Well done!

The upgrade system was really fun and there was one upgrade that was way stronger than all the other... The butt.

Fun game! Well executed. I especially liked the lo-fi music.

Great job!

All you need is butt. Great game, spent almost half an hour on it. It would be great if there were more upgrades.
