Really cute survivor game!! Fun to play and visually distinct. The starter weapon requiring mouse input is a good way to keep up player interaction early in a run!

Incredibly fun to play! I'm all out for vampire survivors style games, and this one does it's job really really well. Collecting points is a bit underwhelming, but overall it's an amazing game considering the time costraints. Good job!

The character reminds me of BTD glue monkey he's so cool
Very good game with a nice arsenal of upgradable weapons. Easy to play, nice graphics, replayable. GJ

Had a LOT of fun! Two beefy cockroaches at the end are a little disappointing, but I've exterminated them all! Great game!

Well done, abilities are great. I love this type of gameplay specifically so I can't complain. Art is simple but clean and goes well together.

Amazing game, love it!

Plenty addicting, but the UI could use some tweaking, multiple times I accidentally gave away highly upgraded saw blades thinking I was getting another saw upgrade and not choosing which weapon to replace

This has been executed really well! Coincidentally the shooter equivalent of my GameJam! There is a bit of a performance issue with moving around being a bit low fps relatively, but other than that the game does everything it sets out to do! Well done!

Really nice game! The art is great. A crosshair would have been helpful, I was losing where my cursor was in all of the action. Nice VS-like, I enjoyed my time! :)

I enjoyed this game, although my tactic was to run around a lot so I didn't collect a lot of coins before the infinite (?) cockroaches round :') It was fun to see and upgrade the effects, although I did think that losing the saws at some point was a bit strange. The lightning balls were cool though!

As you said, similar idea, but really different implementation! You game feels awesome. However, RNG feels a bit too deadly/unforgiving. Here's a few propositions:
- You shouldn't allow to have twice the same upgrade in the offers.
- Also, having no more space in the inventory should gradually inreases the changes to get an inventory slot (I got in a case I had 3 fully upgraded weapons and kept finding weapons or upgrades, but no slot :/)
- I haven't tested it much, but I think the shooting might use some rework/rebalance. Early game, it isn't great at all, but it feels powerful and useful especially later in the game once leveled up and with a bunch of permanent upgrades so maybe with the previous changes it might be easier to get there and see what is does.

Insect survivors, nice. Great art and music. Fun gameplay but there's some issues. Primarily the fact that I kept losing my cursor and that the movement speed is inconsistent (I was moving much faster diagonally). I think there was also some potential lost with the weapons. They could've been more like actual extermination tools (like ant chalk). RN it feels like a bullet heaven with an insect skin.

I was feeling pretty proud of my 228 score until I saw the scoreboard T_T Great game! I did lost my cursor a few times so maybe finding a way to make it more visible would help.

Very very cool! Love the graphics! The vampire survivors game loop is simple but effective. Games looks extremely polished for such a small time. I'd suggest tweaking some sfx so that they have more "punch" to it (this is an action game after all). But I'm being very picky here, this is an excellent game!

Great job! Really enjoyed playing it! I spent forever what I thought was the last big bug, and then it just dropped one coin lol

Great entry. I was confused with upgrades, it was hard to understand why they replace each other all the time. But in general, it was pure fun.
Took #35 place.
