I died so fast at first ToT but the music is so fun and I love all of the little guys running to get you. Such a cute game :3

The gameplay along with the music is so addictive. Great job!! Can't really find anything to critique.

Super cool! I like the concept, especially with how defeating enemies is what keeps you alive longer. The projectile you shoot having an arc to it makes combat more interesting, and having hordes of enemies swarm you is really fun.

I’d love to see what different enemies could be like, and how they’d impact gameplay. Overall, really solid!

This is such a fun concept that's simple in all the best ways! If I'm correct it feels like your parasite drains you each time you make a shot, which is great since it makes you have to pick your shots carefully. The animations are so cute. The music is awesome too!!

I also like that you added a high score counter on the main menu, though I think having the score visible while playing the game would be great. I also think I found a funny exploit where if I just let them all swarm onto me but I keep spam-clicking, I could live forever. Also this would make a great base for a simple rogue-like :)) Loved this!!

The arc shot is satisfying, solid game!

Thank you!

This is a nice arcade game with some banger background music. I'm impressed at how you were able to make the map endless (or at least appear that way). The only thing I would change is allowing the player to hold down the mouse button to continuously fire at the same rate as spam clicking.

Developer

Thanks! The map is actually endless by loading a grid of world tiles around you and then deleting the ones behind you as you move and generating new ones ahead  of you so even if you double back you won't get the same terrain and run into any possible "dry spots" of enemies. Ooh holding it down to fire is a good idea!

Good job! I love survivors-esque games so this was right up my alley. I like that the attack was an arc and not just a straight shot. The music went very hard. I also appreciate the high score saving. I think for a constructive criticism I would like to see a more noticeable difficulty curve.

Developer

Thanks! We're also fans of the "survive as long as possible" sorta genre. I'm glad you like the arc shot on the attack, we thought that would be  fun little switch-up from the typical default attack for these types of games. Thanks for the feedback on the difficulty as well. We definitely want to try and fine tune the difficulty curve in the future :]
