The Stickman Cometh by woz
UPDATE: Added web build! Unfortunately, HTML5 support in Unreal Engine 4 is still experimental, so a 64-bit browser is needed, and even then there may be issues. I was only able to get it to run using Firefox Nightly 64-bit: https://nightly.mozilla.org
The Windows version is still recommended. Blood particles are toned down a bit in the web build (no GPU particles), and there's no gamepad support.
Warning: The Stickman Cometh contains blood and violence, though it's mostly cartoonish.
The Stickman Cometh is a 2D Shooter. It has a silhouette type art style, with a Max Payne-like bullet time mechanic.

Nice music, nice graphics!
The game is interesting, but it is very hard! I would consider adding barrels or walls or some place to hide.
I'd like to have a score counter as well.
Well done!
Anyway, cool bullet-time effect ;-) But why make such a game with the Unreal Engine? seems overkill to me.
HTML5 support is still experimental in Unreal, and Firefox Nightly 64-bit is the only browser I found that it works on. It's mainly for Mac or Linux users, though I haven't actually tested it on either of those.
I used Unreal because I think it's an awesome toolset, even for a game like this. I probably could have made it using something else, but I think it would've taken longer to get the same result. I also wanted to play with Unreal's skeletal animation system, which is amazing. Not too mention I didn't write any code, I just used Unreal's visual scripting system, Blueprints, which is great for quick prototyping like this. (I am a programmer though, and I'd probably convert the scripts over to C++ if I made this into a full game)
