Great job on this! The art looks great and the music fit the game well. The variety in enemies and their behavior was impressive. Awesome work!

This was a lot of fun! I really liked the story and the ability to dodge. I felt like it was pretty difficult for me though, the enemies ramped up pretty fast and I always felt like my bullets were too slow to catch some of the faster enemies. Great job putting this together!

If I had more time I would have liked to smooth out the difficulty atleast for the first few rounds or so.  Thank you for playing!

Nice game, cool art and good enemy variety and behaviours. The game starts completely silent though, you might want to get the music going from the main menu screen. 

One thing that I've found a bit weird and had to double check was the "Start" button, clicked it some times and didn't seem to react. I mention this because i didn't see anyone else doing so. It looked like i had to click close to the letters  of Start (or directly on them), while usually there's sort of a activation box around the text.
I did refresh the page to make sure and it happened again. In example, try clicking the empty spaces inside the "S" of "Start" and you'll see what i mean.

I hope this helps, cheers ;)

I was rushing near the end and one of the last things I did was make the start screen. I 100 percent agree about the wonky hitbox for the button. I was also going to have  different intro music play before the game started.  My jam partner got suplexed into next week after the first few days of the jam and was made humble by the monster known as life so this mostly ended up being a solo project. Thank you for the valuable feedback and taking the time to play and rate my game. :)

That sucks, but stuff happens, sadly. 

Great job nonetheless, all it needs is minor stuff and I'm sure that all the feedback you got will help with that too, good luck :D

I think the mechanics and gameplay were clean and liked how some particular enemies would wait and then lunge at you. Great job on the submission!

I loved how there was different enemys and guns, I did notice that the score counter never resets when you retry so maybe you want to fix that.

Developer

It should display a current highscore and your overall best highscore.  I'll check into it and give it a fix. Thanks for playing!

You did a good job with the enemy AI, interesting mechanics with them sometimes attacking you instead of the dog. I also thought the sound effects were pretty funny. Nice work!

Well done, good fun - would maybe increase the fire rate of the machine gun. Well done.

Game randomly crashed for me, but other than that, very fun and polished game, loved the cute lil doggy, always important to add a bit of story to your game. Cute and fun! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Oh no, random crashing is not cool. Do you remember any specifics of when it happened? Also, thanks for playing :)

Unfortunately I don’t remember :( Hopefully i just got really unlucky and it doesn’t happen to many people :)
