I'm a sucker for this kind of aesthetic. :P

Really nice looking game! And a pretty unique concept to boot. I like where you went with this.

I had a bit of a hard time killing some enemies, though, particularly when they grouped up and were shooting me at the same time. I quickly discovered that my shots cancelled out their shots, but I couldn't seem to get through to actually deal damage when more than one was shooting at a time.

I also find it interesting how brutally cruel the enemies are. Certainly gives your game a unique personality that leaves a lasting impression. :)

Awesome! I had some issues, as Cole did, trying to shoot past my enemies' bullets and just not being able to connect. On the other hand, it created some cool moments where I was weaving through enemy fire, ducking behind walls and popping out to shoot. The controls were a little awkward: everything on the left hand, making it especially different to control the direction of fire.

It also looks quite pretty and stylish. :)

@caeonosphere @coleslaughter Thanks a lot for your feedback! Especially really happy you two like the look of my game. Oh wait a second, people like how the game looks from my... PIXEL ART?? Wait... I'm dreaming, aren't I.

Again, thanks! :heart:

Love the self-deprecation from the guy who sells you things. The artstyle is really nice, simple yet effective for what is needed. Although the gameplay is a tad bit strange. It would've been better if bullets couldn't collide with each other. But the audio is good, graphics are good and despite some inconviniences the gameplay is good. Solid entry, good job!
