I liked the intro and the glitch style graphics.
I always stayed on the right side of the room, cause the left side enemies would sit on my head. I wish I could shoot faster, I feel like I have no way of avoiding damage because multiple enemies will come from a single direction and I need to wait for my cooldowns to fire again.
Nice music too.
Also I updated the entry to include the OS X build, let me know how it works!
Your game is an interesting start, but I had a lot of issues with enemies getting stuck on me and having a hard time destroying them. Work on improving that, and you might have a fun little game.
I really liked the way meta dialogue in the beginning of this one. That combined with the unique color palette and aesthetic really lends character to what would otherwise just be a game about surviving an infinite onslaught.
Anyway, I dunno why you didnt include a humor rating bc that dialogue in the beginning was super clever and I'd give you a good humor score for that.
