THIS game is truly spectacular I tell you! The theme is LIMITED SPACE. AND as such, I have decided (intentionally copium) that it will be a battle of the RAMS!.

THe objective is simple! How many entities can you SURVIVE HEHEHEHE! Those little cutey magobie soldiers come marching towards you. What do you do????. Lets see in the battle of the ages.

Tell me your entity count down in teh comment sbelow!!! (if you cannot see, make the black weird box larger (that should really only be for me to use for debugging but its a feature I swear)).

My HIGH SCORE is 170,026. Beat THAT! I am quite proud of my score.

(I hate cpp, opengl, enums, texture sampling, visual studio, why Projectile.h include working in Enemies.cpp?, pointers, references, const, my life, Jeremy)

Well - I have no idea what's going on here, but the `entity count` went to 170,700 before the game closed so I guess that (so far) I am the winner? 😎

Didn't quite get the idea since it didn't matter if I was playing the game or stayed AFK becuase I still got 170k score.

Funny idea lol, the game closed at around 170 000 entities too for me

It seems it is 170k for most people. So it is crashing for another reason...

Uh...I have a question. Is the player character shoots something? It seem yes, but I hardly sees player's bullet on screen.

@metagen Yes, the player can shoot bullets. Each Entitiy has this special ability to make things around them invisible, its a feature (its a bug, I thought Z-ordering in OpenGL would be enough but there is some blending issues.)

Definitely a unique idea, but the game seems quite buggy. For me, it kept crashing around 170k.

170732..... But what was I supposed to do? I like the idea of a kind of vampire survivor where you have to kill enough enemies to keep your ram from being saturated. But here I'm having trouble understanding the action, and whether the coins I shoot have any impact :') I think that if all the objects weren't masking each other, it would be a good start! I'd be interested to see what a clean version would look like

Really innovative game and the theme was on point! Struggled a bit to get going though and I'm not sure if there is a bug that prevented me from playing more.

@ganny Nope no bugs, that is the whole game :D (not finished). Thanks for trying.
