Great polish and pixel art! I only wish the player's bullets' hitboxes were just a smidge larger.

Thank you for all your feedback, it means a lot to us!! <3
If you have any ideas or wishes for future content updates, let us know! We'll very likely develop this further, probably also making a mobile port!

We could add new types of enemies, different player or environment skins, new weapon types or special abilities and items, there's so many options! Another idea could be to implement upgrades within the run, so that you get stronger along with the ever increasing horde of enemies! tell us what you'd like to see the most here and we might just make it happen! :fire:

Extremely impressive animations and polish, this game feels like something I could see on Steam even at this stage. Really simple concept and really fun to play, I would say the only thing missing would be some more enemy or weapon varieties to mix up the gameplay.

Impressive game! The art is really top notch, and the whole game overall is extremely polished.
Well done!
I could imagine the player getting some upgrades to their weapon on during the game to give a feeling of progression, would be cool!

@prismapunch @splittheatom thanks! and yes, exactly that is the plan! adding a few more enemy variants, weapon upgrades and abilities, that's what we plan to implement in the future! ^^

I like the gameplay, could imagine it being a rouge-lite maybe with power ups and upgrades in a post jam version. very well done

Neat little game and already very polished! The light effects and the sound when shooting really give a good gunfeel. The art is awesome and the general vibe of the game is on point, with the with the little red eyes going at you and the forever coming thorns you do feel the pressure ramping up. And you even got a cool intro cutscene and all. Kudos!

well gameplay, feels very polished - as the score only increases when killing units it urges you to shoot back to gather some score, high gain with high risk

I would suggest to increase the score slowly by running/surviving some amount of time, so you can decide to play either more risky or better safe than sorry

nice entry!
