Really like the intro, remind me a bit of ours 😆

Thanks for the warning :D I liked the intro and the horde genre was a good idea

Good entry

Nice work, I like how you can pick different weapons and how the carnage stays on the ground. The game is well made and is very responsive. Having the animals move differently with patterns and speeds will improve the experience a bit.

roblox oof birds, very good

I love the blood effects, it reminds me of fairy tale fights.

Intro was awesome, splatter art is good, and I made it to wave 4! Big difficulty spike between Wave 1/2. Also didn't notice my health bar until Wave 3, lol. Nice work! I knew it would be interesting when I saw Nietzsche.

ahah, it reminded me of the Squirrel Stapler game). but I caught a small bug and fell out of the textures

I could see you were going for just some honest, wacky fun, and in that sense you definitely delivered. Very enjoyable little game and the upgrade system was a lot of fun, makes me wanna go back in and try different loadouts and see how it goes. Got up to about wave 18 before I accidentally backed into a whole group of squirrels I didn't know where there and came to an abrupt end. I wish the health bar was a little more visible, but, very well done.

I do love the art in this))

Loved the intro and the weapon upgrades! The carnage on the ground is a nice touch. The difficulty spike between waves was surprising but fun overall! Gj!

dont tell PETA ;D

Fun game, the upgrades add a lot to it ^^. I got stuck on wave six since the birds didnt come down and I did not have a range weapon. And my pc lagged out when I was killing multiple enemies at once like in the rat wave. Also the browser version did not work for me. Its a really great game for a jam and the opening caught me off guard :D Well done guys 🙌

Yea idk the reason it doesn't load, it might have to do with the large audio file used for the beginning music. There is nothing forcing you to harm the bunnies you can just sit and vibe for a while xD

Couldn't get the web player version to load so I downloaded the exe. If you didn't make the art or sounds, a quick background music track would have helped add some ambiance to the scene. Felt like there could have been a bit more feedback from punching the critters. The blood was ultra reflective haha. The hands punching was fluid though, and felt good to control. Good job on your entry!

Nice game,very interesting plot!!!!Nice job!!!!

The theme interpretation is funny but there is too much "liquid" for me ^^'
I got a bug where shooting with two AKs at the same time (and holding the shoot) simply stops the SFX.
Also, AK is totally unbalanced x) playing "Lucky" upgrade makes everything easier

Fun entry!
The intro was verry well done!

It did not seem like the zappy hands upgrade worked. Nothing happened. When I got the other hand
upgrades the screen got white and yellow until it just turned bright white, is the some excessive VFX going on?

I'm guessing there is not an end to the game, got to 22 before the screen turn white.

I hope these animals are made of strawberry jam...

It took me way to long to understand how to buy new weapons, my bad for not reading the game's description correctly but maybe a text in game "Press tab to open the shop" could have been useful.

Other than that, I have to admit that it's really fun.

The performance gets really bad when you kill to many enemies at once.
