Nice concept and use of theme! I thought the game felt very smooth to play. My feedback is that I think the screen should be zoomed out more so that you can see enemies from further away. And upgrading the enemies was a very creative choice 

Submitted

Really fun game! Loved the concept, though it was a little annoying to go all the way back to wave one each time you die, maybe instead it should only drop by one or two waves? Can imagine this being really amazing with a bit more visual and mechanical polish (and some audio!)

Submitted

This game is incredibly fun. I loved every second of playing it

Submitted

I like the upgrade mechanics, but this game definitely needs some banging music

Submitted

That was super unique to choose upgrades for the enemies too! Great start to a game, never quite made it to the boss but that was fun

Submitted

I played it for a while (like 20 minutes) and I enjoyed it quite a lot. It is a simple game but I can see that you put a lot of work to polish it. I especially like how movement was made and how the cannon moves and shoots.

Only if player upgrades were random just like enemies have. I think small rework of how Player gets buffs could also help improve your game. Player can store upgrade points by killing enemies but they have to upgrade themselves and enemies at the same time. Just like enemies work but with player upgrades. Of course, these upgrades aren't active until they die. I think it could work better and by this system you could add more overpowered upgrades.

Thanks for submitting your game to be played for the stream :)

Played through it and overall had a great time. Choosing how your enemies upgrade as well as being able to upgrade yourself made for some nice gameplay and can lead to some nice challenge runs of things like defeating the game in as little deaths as possible while also allowing players that may not be great at the game be able to enjoy it at a nice difficulty level thats artificially balanced for them. Just missing some beats to jam to alongside it

Heres the link to the vod if you wanted to watch (games are separated into chapters and yours is the 10th chapter)

There's no audio, good game though

Submitted

Really cool game. The gameplay loop was super fun and everything felt polished. Getting an upgrade when dying and having to pick an upgrade for the enemies when you kill enough was also a really great way to balance the game to make sure everyone of all skill levels have a good time :). Great work!

Submitted

Quite a fun little game found myself just sitting there playing, was very polished and i really liked the movement felt very clean and smooth like others said some music and sounds would have been nice but nonetheless fun game

Submitted

nice game. Some music and maybe different colored enemies would've really improved it. All in all a fun little experience!

Submitted

I have seen many other games from the Jam that fall under the same genre. However, this is easily the best out of all of them. I really loved how you can also give your enemies upgrades.

Submitted

This game feels very polished and has a great game feel even without music. It seems to have a lot of thought put into the game design and it was a nice detail for that the text in the player upgrade menu  was unique for each time you wanted to upgrade it. Great game!

Submitted

Rated, fun game ngl

Submitted

Good game, fun, a little repetitive but still very good!

Submitted

I like this a lot, although i think it is a little unbalanced.

Submitted

Awesome game! Some what similar to mine! If it had sound and more enemies it would be really good! Good job!

If you could play mine that would be awesome!

Submitted

Shothun + piercing are too powerfull :D

Interesting idea with upping enemies as yourself. Recommend to add sounds and more complex enemies in the future. Good game, fine to play

Submitted

I love your take on the theme. Shotgun + Piercing = Overpowered lololol. Lots of fun. Keep it up.

Submitted

Nice mechanics, it was fun to play. However there wasn't any audio on my session at least.
