How does your game represent "Power"?
Our plot involves a parent going to rescue their child who has been captured in a lab that does research into strengthening humanity in questionable, mutation-oriented ways. There's a clash where the lab minions want to make themselves more powerful and consider the sacrifice of children reasonable, and the parent is trying to stop this. To stop the enemies from achieving their goals is a form of exerting power, but it's power for the sake of protection rather than for the sake of power itself.

Cool top down shooter! I really like how the aiming mechanic rewards precision over just spamming bullets everywhere. I couldn't work out how to harm the final boss but it was a very interesting and unique design! Overall really fun and very satisfying peaking around the edge of the walls and clearing different areas. Great job!

the music is awesome! got me really pumped. the gameplay is fun and the art is cool too. Cool looking final boss, but I couldn't figure out how to do damage. The "blood splatter" when fighting zombies is very satisfying

The line of sight + critical hit mechanic make you feel more tactical and smart than you need to be, really nice job.

Super cool! I like the shadow effect that makes it very fun to clear different angles. Nice work!

Really fun top down shooter, love the critical hit mechanic and use of vision, leads to a really fun corner clearing feeling. Also cute ending haha
