DISCLAIMER: This game might not be suitable for minors. Or at least those who dislike gore.

Your guns were stolen. Take them back with extreme prejudice.

But be careful, holding too many weapons at once doesn't do your ability to shoot them fast any favors. Thankfully, each enemy is vulnerable to a certain type. Not-so-thankfully, reinforcements come in faster the more you collect.

"NICE!" I beat this unreasonably hard game and all I got was "NICE!"... nice!

But yeah, once I realized that combat was hopeless and this was actually a stealth game, it got a little easier, but still, the hoards of bad dudes with attitudes made it hectic. Also, I think the way you detect if the player is on the ground is a little broken. At some parts, I think if I'm standing on a ledge, it doesn't let me jump. Oh and I didn't like the restraints on the mouse aim, leave my mouse alone! #MiceArePeopleToo

yes

The train made me jump the first time it hit me, bravo for that. The artstyle creates a nice vibrant mood, perfect for an arcade-style game. I'd also praise it for it's fast gameplay loop, though I fear this loop only happens because I keep dying too fast.

I wish I could get that "NICE!", but I'm still having fun with this.

Huge props to the music and graphics. It's got a Nuclear Throne vibe to it, and the environmental hazards make up for an interesting arena shooter! The weapon variety is nice and compliments the enemies as well, though it would be cool if you could upgrade the weapons in terms of range/power as you collect the crates. But given the 72 hours, this is a really well worked out game!

Very well crafted! Great graphics and sound. I didn't like that my target moved when I moved my character though.

Reminds "Super Crate Box" and I love that game! I will say, the weapon that felt the most useful was the sword. It did good damage, knocked the enemy back and lasted for awhile. The shotty and rocket launcher seemed to do more or less the same damage as the sword did, without the knock back effect. If the shotgun was a guaranteed kill for the one in front it would have good uses, and if the rocket did a bunch of damage and knocked back but was very slow to fire that would be a good trade off! Other than that Good Job!

The game is quite polished and fun! Maybe you could have an indication of where enemies will spawn next, since their falling so suddenly (along with the train) makes the top of the map unreasonably devastating.

I thought it was strange that the best strategy is not to attack but to let enemies die and focus on the crates (the best weapon in the game is the train!), but it's still challenging to do that. One day I'll get that "NICE!" prompt!

I liked the graphics and audio. Not a huge fan of gore, but here it was hilarious, especially after everyone gets run over by a train.

I really liked the graphics, nice characters and effects! But I must say that I felt the movement and the jumping to be a bit off, mostly because of the level design. The ladders were more of a problem to climb.

Overall nice game!.
