Loved the game sooooo much!!!!!! One of my favorite entries! I loved the variety of enemies and upgrades, the music and sounds, and everything overall!

I would love to see a sequel to this game, maybe a version not bound to the limitation and an exploration of a story... Keep it up!

This was so much fun.  I've always loved achievements in games, and didn't even consider there might be games in this Jam with them.   This is one of the most fun games in the Jam I've played do far.

My only issue is with the manner in which the difficultly ramps.  It seems it's built to "punish" you for doing well rather than rewarding you.  If you start hitting and killing things too quickly, the game gives you more enemies and you get overwhelmed.  At least that's how it felt.

On the other side, that's really only until you you reach god-mode where you can stand anywhere and just kill all the things and have 1000's of coins and can't die unless you want to.  I probably spent longer than is healthy at that point in the game... but darn it I feel like I earned it.

Thanks much for your constructive comment!

Totally agree about the problem with difficulty, didn't have the time to playtest enough. Items prices, difficulty and money is not balanced. First i planned to had a boss after like 5 or 10 minutes but i didnt manage to make it in time. Also balancing economy/items is much longer than i though! Thx again for your comment!

I really like this Game!

It's very similar to Vampire Survivors but you have to aim for yourself, which I kind of prefer. The only real downside is, that it's obviously not that creative and that the circle effect of the bullet hitting enemies can make it a bit hard to read, but the music and sound effect are in a cool retro style, so overall it's a pretty complete game, for a game jam!

Thanks!
