Apple Sauce RoboSmash by Kaboom242
In this short, intense first-person shooter, you play a distressed, buxom mother left to protect her child with nothing but a gold-plated uzi ~~(or two)~~. While it’s unclear to both her and the player why people want her child to die, the answer is starkly clear by the end of round 10. But by then it is too late...
Inspired by the tight and neat two minute rounds of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, ~~the player has two minutes to ward off each round of attacks, plus acquire quality baby food for her newborn before the next attack. A total of 10 rounds causes the game to come in at a pleasurable 20 minute rogue-like FPS.~~
~~The game features RPG elements where the character can choose between upgrades after each round, allowing the player to pick between creating a tank of a character by continually boosting their max health, or increasing the damage the uzi does allowing the player to finish the rounds quicker.~~

Visually, it was a little hard to tell which things were enemies -- I originally thought the balls were the Energy I thought I was supposed to collect and I thought the Energy I was supposed to collect was the enemies.
But the level design and other artwork reminded me of a misspent youth, so big thumbs up for that!
@tinykidtoo We fixed the bug with the recoil flipping the player and the baby end state not triggering properly. Thanks for playing :)
@asgardheavy Turns out the recoil wasn't resetting properly and the shootpoint was offset in an awkward way. Both are fixed now. Thanks for the feedback
Appreciated the mouse sensitivity slider and aim down sights and the smaller things like that, they all come together to make something super polished and dare i say, DOPE
Having the camera "reset" after you're done firing is disorienting. Gave me a bit of motion sickness. Especially if you've held the trigger down for a while. If you've only got the time for one gun I would recommend a shotgun. It's a little easier to convey a sense of impact with them.
It's got an overall great aesthetic!
Bots where a little too dumb. The collision with the stasis capsule somehow managed to propel me higher up
I agree with others about the options menu...at first I was having a really hard time aiming until I realized I could adjust the mouse sensitivity.
It took me awhile to realize you put the energy canisters into the baby vat thing but I wasn't sure why I was doing it or if there was a time limit before I had to do it again.
