Great game; visually beautiful and the audio is really menacing.

Simple mechanics but wonderful polish. Crazy difficult though!

This is gorgeous, and I love the music, but I'm not sure I'm getting that cyberpunk vibe.

Really liked this game, it looked awesome too! I included it in part 17 of my Cyberpunk Jam compilation video series, if you have time to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_CZQQkRaf3Q

Wo, I like it, great gameplay, arts are coherent, no issue, so...!

Great game. One of the highest I rated so far. Very challenging. Good presentation value across the board.

Beautiful artwork, nice music and feels very cohesive. I didn't do well and gave up after two tries, though :P Didn't really feel cyberpunk to me, more minimalist.

Really great game!  So hard though!  I wish there were a little more visual information - its really hard to tell how you are doing, health-wise!  Also, I only made it to about the middle, but I don't think I ever got any ammo... am I missing something?

The game is visually very appealing - really nice work.  The only thing I don't like - and this is being picky - is the background.  I think its a little distracting, and doesn't really match the rest of your minimal aesthetic.  I wish it were a gradient, or a soft glow.

Very nice work.  Tons of polish.  Lots of fun.  I wasn't able to get past the first few rounds, but I loved every minute of it.

The aesthetics are amazing and it's playing amazingly smooth! :) 

Personally I think it's a pretty hard game, because I pretty quickly get overrun by a big number of enemies. But still I had fun retrying a bunch of times to see if I got any further!

Loved it! Got to the 2nd wave after an hour or so of playing (and calling it quits...I'll be back!)

Feels a little like the difficulty curve ramps up too much before you get the handgun, and it's frustratingly difficult at times but that makes it all the more addicting.

Simple, but the polish is amazing. So pretty and satisfying to play.
The sound effects are great and having different music every play is a great idea, and made replays less painful.
Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at it, so didn't make it to the end.

Awesome!! Love the design, game plays smoothly. It even fits the theme!

This is really, really cool. I love the minimalist aesthetic -- the lighting and effects look really cool as a result. Gameplay is tight and frantic. I'd love to be able to play this on a 360 controller -- it seems perfect for dual-stick controls.

Submitted

I've played this at least 3 times and I REALLY think this is an AWESOME game! Nice job!

Submitted

Beautiful game. Fun to play. I think you've really got something here.

Visually very appealing! I think this is one of the perfect examples that demonstrates how a really simple idea if presented well enough can change the player's perception. Great work!

Kinda hard though. I managed to get to the 6th wave :)

Using any graphics engine?
