It's not missing much for it to be playable and probably even fun. Too bad it's unfinished, I would have liked to try it !

This game is very fun, endless mode is amazing, an immaculate masterpiece I must say.

Good job, it's one of those games that you could "waste" a lot of time playing! :D

I can't beat this game. You win.

This a intense and pretty well made little jam game. I had fun trying it.

Very funny game, loved the voice acting! I kind of wish the more interesting enemies were placed a bit earlier though, I didn't get much of a chance to see what they did!

YAY!! I am winner!! This was a lot of fun, and best of all, I can really see you doing a lot more with it too! There was good humor, the voice acting was fun, there were numerous types of baddies, and the weapons were a joy to use. It's rather on the easy side (I'm normally AWFUL at these types of games and still had like 70% of my health left I think when I beat it?) but I appreciated that since it meant I could finish it and it wasn't stressful 😄

Ah wow I came pretty close to getting first place

All around, this was a lot of fun! I loved the variety in enemy patterns!

I very much liked the voices, I didn't know if it was me screaming or enemies though, but it doesn't matter 😄. There is so much going on with bullet hell and the screams, and I probably didn't really understand the shooting mechanics really well, but again, it doesn't matter. Funny, and fun game.

I really liked the main character and his four great weapon appendages. It's a very cool design. The enemy variety was also very nice - I especially liked the medic with his connected soldiers.

The game plays well, and I didn't notice any bugs. I wish it displayed the score at the end without me having to submit it to the leaderboard - but that's just a minor gripe.

I like both very much, the graphic and the sound effects. Well done!
Very fun game :-)
However, the highscore seems to be broken currently.

@aligator can you give me more details on how the highscore is broken? thanks!

I entered my name and nothing happened on Enter. The list was just empty...

I liked the game, cool sound effects and voice lines. Everything was pretty smooth, although i couldnt really tell when id be getting a new pickup

Good game! I managed to reach wave 20, the good old strategy of strafing and shooting is effective here. The silly voices helped make killing so many soldiers funny. The big boss fight was easy enough, though I did like that he had two types of attack. Some audio balancing could help tidy it up. It was never clear how much ammo a gun would have, but I knew I would get more per the theme.
Good job making this!

Pretty good overall. Reminded me a little bit of Super Crate Box.

Fun game! Would be nice if enemies could not spawn onto you but overall was quite enjoyable

Enjoyed it a lot. It would have been nice to get a heads up on when/what the next upgrade was as I would seeminly randomly recieve a new weapon. Also the later weapons feel worse than the starting pistol to some extent. Maybe its the enemy health scaling or the damage scaling but I was killing individual enemies faster with 1 or 2 pistols at the start than I was with the flamethrower and assault rifles later on.

A fun game. I liked the sounds. But I didn't have enough recharge indication or something like that
Lène17 Oct 2022, 10:43
It was fun to play ! I did not understand why sometimes I couldnt shoot anymore and if the change in the weapon was random

Awesome Game. Enjoyed the overall concept and gameplay. really enjoyed the 10 seconds factor you implemented in the game. A little more work from the SFX sides would have done wonder. To be honest, my opinion might ne a little biased here, cause I am a fan of these kind of games but still given the fact it was a jam, Good job and great efforts, keep it up. Please do check out my submission as well.

That was lots of fun!
The sound balance was a bit loud to start for me because I loaded into a scream haha.
The 10 second factor was clever.

The little zoomy things were a bit of a surprise and I'm still on the fence on if I liked em or not.

I could see this expanding into a bigger game though, well done. =)

This is a fun game! I didn't really understand exactly how the gun pickup mechanics worked, or when exactly my guns would be reloaded--it seemed like it had to do with the 10 second counter--but it was fun to revel in the chaos nonetheless.

I think my favorite part was the final boss fight. Just, bullet hell out of nowhere... sort of (obviously bullet dodging was part of the rest of the game, but the bullet patterns were much denser and more patterned in the boss fight). It was just a nice change on the gameplay--now I had to navigate more specifically and carefully, where before I was mostly just running in circles around all the guys. So, I had a lot of fun with that.

Good job!

"I thought this was airsoft" haha!

Interesting entry. I had a bit of a hard time understand how the progression of the guns went but soon I was soothing all over the place, so I was not an issue anymore...
GenericParadox19 Oct 2022, 14:39
I love the lines, and the idea is quite cool to just get random weapons and shoot them! Wish the map was a bit bigger, or perhaps instead of your health it could be a defence objective to have them come from the top in larger numbers so you can really mow them down. Awesome game!

Verry funny! These sounds are exactly what the game needed!
I think you can really make this game a hit, well done. =)
