really cool game but the map is way to big which doesn't make the game very chaotic in my eyes, sound design was very good and the game looks amazing to, just sad the map is so extreemly big making it not very chaotic as it could have been, if the map was smaller with these weapons it would have not only been chaotic in terms of weapons as you said how it fit the theme it would have also fit in the theme because of how chaotic the combat would be.

This game was really cool. I'm a big fan of top down shooters, so this was pretty fun. Using the guns as health is also very clever and a really fun mechanic. The music was pretty alright at first, but once I got to the third level, it was exceptionally well done. The character design is really good, simple yet creative. I also really like the weapon slots. There were a couple of problems I had. First, I don't enjoy the recoil on the guns, it's a little bit extreme. Firing one gun felt a lot better, but the more guns I had the worse it felt. Which is a shame, because it is the main draw to your game. I also think that the area that the player can see should be increased, it felt really restricting to see so close to the player. Overall the game is great and I had a lot of fun.

Screen DodgersA very fun and interesting idea! The mechanic of equipping weapons tied to a specific direction is something I've never seen before, and definitely makes deciding where to aim pretty chaotic. The fact that these weapons are also your lives is also an interesting twist.
The character designs all look very cool and good, and the sound and music aren't bad either. Very impressive!
For my taste, the field of view could be a bit larger, which would also allow for more enemies (and even more chaotic situations, I would guess).
All in all, good job!

Bomby ZombyInteresting idea to have something around the character in this game! I could just find two stones. I liked the art and music. Good job!

Also the idea of controlling chaotic recoil was out of the box!
Well done team!

Agent Hos Year 3080Wow this is a really cool concept of making weapons your hp as well. i really enjoyed switching to different weapons and thunder was my favorite. I could see it can get very out of hand when you have 4 or more weapons with the varying knockbacks, I started to get soo dizzy on the 4th level.

JumpoI like how the weapon knockbacks come into play with positioning, very creative! Nice game, I felt like I wanted to see how filling all my weapon spots would make my character move but I couldn't manage to keep them long enough.
Had fun!

The King's RelicNeat mechanic for weapon placement. At first I didn't get it but after re-reading the how to play it then made sense. Lots of fun running and shooting. I think if I could have gotten enough weapons I could have just stayed in place but 4 at once was my best. Good game!

Find the Flippin PathIt's a very cool idea about weapons! Fun and unique gameplay. I really enjoyed it :D

Leave the Chaos BehindAn interesting concept with some unique mechanics! I liked how you picked up the gems and set them in a slot with each representing a fire direction around you. I think the view was a little too zoomed in, enemies took too many hits to die. I also like camera shake but yours when shooting seemed to shake your actual position about the place. It was too jarring and hindered player movement. Still, I think there's something interesting here to explore further.

CryptonautAwesome job! The projectiles collide with the player meaning they push you around every time they fire, which made maneuvering basically impossible in some cases. I'm not sure if that's a bug or design decision but it made movement very difficult. Also enjoyed the little Mario placeholders for the weapon UI lol. Overall fantastic job though, really enjoyed the art and music and overall design of the game.

Cavern QuakeI liked the simple graphics, the idea that i can collect and shoot multiple weapons at once and the fact there were multiple levels, that brings the feeling of progression.
I disliked that i had all the weapons and i was shooting a cloud of bullets, and the enemies were able to still get to me. I didn't feel very powerful at all:(
Still I had some fun collecting the weapons, nice game!
