In what way does your game fit the theme?
Enemies spawn in randomly and eventually the difficulty ramps up and turns into a bullet hell.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Code was written by myself and Kevin Bryant, who agreed to help me, and all assets were made from scratch or properly licensed.

A pretty fun game to play based on a creative concept well done!
I coded an update to fix the issue of eggs giving to much health but I can't submit it until after the rating period ends
This game was really fun!
Nice game, quite fun!
interesting game, continue updating :)
Cool game, simple and fun!
Its very chaotic. Rated man.
This was great! A really unique take on the bullet hell genre. I especially liked the ability to use your ammo as food. Although the exact health values might need some tweaking
Chaotic game! Enjoyed it :)
It was chaotic for sure. Loved shooting around everyone in sight. Fun gameplay.
That was really fun! I wonder if the reason for the food shortage was the fact that people used them as ammo instead of you know... ammo. Also eggs grant immortality. Eggs felt a little over powered, got up over 1000 hp at one point for fun.
I really enjoyed playing it, it was fun! :) Though, I don't understand how to get ammo. There's a lot of confusing things in this game which you could have made some sort of tutorial level to teach the player how to play this game properly.
To get ammo, walk up to a shelf. The little transparent red area around the shelf should disappear, as well as the icon on the shelf. I will add a tutorial level if I make this a full game for platforms like steam. Thanks for the constructive criticism!
VERY fun, especially for being at its core essentially a mindless top-down shooter. The different "weapons" are fun to learn and use and the controls are quite intuitive, with the possible exception of the health. Maybe you could make it so it consumes eggs as long as R is pressed, possibly with diminishing returns to discourage spamming.
As a side-note when I read the title of this game I first imagined a rush to get everything possible, sort of black friday + combat. While this might still be a worthwhile idea, I am definitely not disappointed.
Bravo, sir
Thank you for your kind comment and suggestions! I technically programmed it to where you could press p to consume eggs as well but forgot to put that in the manual. I do agree you should be able to hold down the egg button to eat, I wish I could add that in now!
