Very tough to shoot the pods and the enemies.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I actually wanted the game to be challenging, but I understand it can be very tough sometimes. I’ll keep this in mind for future improvements. Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts!

Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game. Yes I do have a YouTube Channel but it is as good as non existent, I haven’t started uploading yet.

Sorry, Not on any social media platform man!

Quite fun but super hard. Jesus you definately captured the last stand theme well though. Those guys sure are hard to put down. Maybe some health potions would be nice to help with difficulty. Also auto fire might help to save with mouse clicks or space bar slams.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you found the game fun, even though it’s super hard. I actually found it tough while testing too, but it also felt doable, which made it fun in my opinion. That’s why I kept the difficulty as it is. I’m happy to hear you think the ‘Last Stand’ theme came through well! I’ll definitely consider adding health potions and auto-fire to help with the difficulty. Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts

Nice game man but very hard to get these guys down. What are the items on the floor, I though it was some kind of health potion?!  Nice artwork, really like your pixel art :)

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the game, even though it’s tough to take down the enemies. The items on the floor are actually just random props that I was experimenting with to make the level look less empty, but I see how that could be confusing. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I’m thrilled you like the artwork! I created the characters and pods myself, but the tilemap is from Kenney’s assets. I’m just starting out in pixel art, so your compliment means a lot!
