*A radical robot wandering the wastelands, shooting enemies* - that's you!

You have a special gun in your possession - the OVERDRIVE BLASTER. Every 10 seconds it goes into cool OVERDRIVE MODE which lets you shoot MORE BULLETS.

There are three types of overdrive modes: RED, GREEN and BLUE. If you pick up three spheres in a row of the same color, you will be switch to that mode. If you already have that mode, it will be upgraded.

The objective of the game is to GET ALL LEVEL 10 OVERDRIVES.

CONTROLS:

* WASD or arrow keys - navigate
* Z/J/Space/Ctrl - shoot
* ESC - pause/resume
* Enter - Exit (during pause)
* 0 - hide current message (optional)

I love the sprite work, ideas, and had a lot of fun playing! The concept of an overkilling gun that kicks in every 10 seconds is neat.
I think it would be cool to increase the pace a bit (start a bit faster, have more enemies), and have the contrast between the overkilling at the regular gun be more distinct. Might make everything more intense, and give more ups and downs to the game.
But honestly, I liked it as is, and I really liked the art style and mood. Great job!
