Amazing game, ammo switch is a great mechanic.
fun and fast-paced. Loved the challenge of switching ammo types to match the bugs. Controls were good and obvious. Would also be great to have scroll-wheel support for weapon switching. Nicely done
Nice game. It was a little complicated for me because my keyboard is a %60 mechanical keyboard and the number keys are access through a fn key. It would have been helpful change the ammo with the scroll-wheel. It was a nice experience though
I knew immediately that I would have trouble with this game. I was doing fine with four different ammo and enemy types. I even managed to deal with five. But six is too much for my poor reflexes. I can feel the pause in my brain when I see a different bug encroaching on the objective and I know I need to switch to a different number.
While it's the type of game I'm personally bad at, it's a very well put together game!
I appreciate that the crosshair changes colours to match the enemy as well. Though the red for the spiders' eyes and highlights is less obvious than the others.
The music is good, the controls are great, I never missed a shot I took, even when I had the wrong ammo selected.
Quite a fun and challenging game. Controls are snappy and I like how well the weapon UI shifts when switching weapons. I would suggest considering also adding the mouse wheel to switch between weapons, but otherwise great game :)
Wow, this game is truly challenging! But that doesn't take away from the fun at all, in fact, it makes it even more addictive. It's really satisfying to adapt to the different enemies, though it does get absolutely chaotic after five. I loved it, great job!
wow, this gets fast paced! Lots of fun :)
Fun game! The need to switch between ammo types for different enemies adds a nice twist.
Easy 5/5 game. It was just so much fun!
Really good looking game, I like the pixel art and colors. It was easy to tell different bugs apart and switch ammo.
Reminds me of those type the correct letter to fight off the enemies games, pretty fun and agile with hands to kill them all quick!
14990 on my first run, not bad! Man it gets challenging to remember which ammo kills which bugs once you get past 5. Nice twist to a clicker game, well done!
Really fun. I love how simple the controls are whilst being difficult to play as you have to remember what each one was. Really well executed!
Nice concept, I like killing bugs
Nice game controls are solid, I need to know the secret to the universe lol
I liked this game a lot! I started off being the best there ever was, then i went down felt like i could not hit anything properly then pulled it out of the bag and then i got swarmed!
A true rollercoaster of emotions, it's rare a game does that nowadays!
Awesome stuff!
I had so much fun with this one, I thought level 10 was the max I could get but then I reached level 11 and it all went south fast!
Also, that audio feedback when you switch ammo type, that right there, is the good spot. It was so satisfying hearing that click whenever I swapped ammo.
Great job!
This grew nicely over the rounds. Got my head into gear about which number does what. got to 4 and didnt think I could add in a 5th, but managed it,.. 6th was where things got tricky :P.
I'd love a 2 button, next/last system for cycling through.
Great feedback on shooting the wrong ammo.
Visually the centre base didn't stand out enough from the background.
Fun game, quite enjoyed this :). Well done!
Loved it! Very addicting.
I also made game about defending a cpu! This was super fun and gets really hectic. Great job! Love the whole vibe.
Nice, it got pretty fast later on, I like it. It was nice that you had to keep switching between the enemy types, kept the game more interactive and entertaining than just shooting with one type. Made it to 100k xD. Well done!
Congrats, I think that's the highest score I've seen! You have definitely beaten my best 😄
