I rate kind of harsh, but I thought this game was pretty good for the time you had.

All of the sound effects seem to be make a song as I shoot, get hurt, and am shot at; it is pretty awesome. It might just be me, but the enemies move too quickly and are able to injure me once or twice before I can kill them, so I never got past level 2. Other than this, I enjoyed the game; great work!

A bit on the hard side, but the gameplay was fun!

Is anyone else getting "impossibly hard" from this? The little beige guys are just too fast! It was fun though.

I really think the hero needs a way to avoid the faster enemies out of the gates. As soon as a faster guy comes you have to start shooting at him immediately or else he will hit you at least once. I want to see your perks so I am going to play some more. Overall it plays well and I like the pixel art. Good show.

The little yellow spiders (?) are too fast for me, can't kill them before they reach me, if there is more than one of them.

I had a lot of fun playing this!

Pace is pretty slow in the beginning and the brown enemies were really relentless but this was actually fun to play and I loved how you can only pick one perk per level up.

Has some balancing issues; very hard to kill enemies without them getting at least one hit. A bit more variety would be nice as well. Still a fun wave shooter.

Almost made it to level 10. Our group had the idea too to make a game where you only choose one upgrade but did not implement it. Glad someone did. Great Job
