Stay calm indeed lol! Super crunchy and fun to jump around. Love the simple visuals of the enemies and wide open world to explore. Unlockable mechanics are a great addition to the gameplay. Super fast movement is fun to try to keep up. I'd like to see how well this does on the controller too. Sometimes the popup for new abilities were hard to read/catch. Can't wait to see more content wonderful work!

HAHAH! That was cool. love the voice audio added. Controls are responsive which is very nice, movement is a little quick but it adds to the "chaos". The concept of CALM doesn't fix well but I can see the reverse thought on it. Overall I really like the gameplay. Cheers!

So much carnage. So much destruction. I am the inevitable immortal robot being of chaos. Lol the final form was really fun. I played around with it to just destroy everything on the screen for a good minute or two lol ended up with a score of 27346. I had fun it was REALLY quick though.

excellent run n' gun.
art has a very clear language, destructible buildings = neat touch, nicely balanced: I'm playing on a trackpad and still made it to the flying mode. Is there an end-state to it? Ran into some control issues where the guy would be going the wrong way when switching directions too quickly (arrow keys are also reversed: hard mode? :) ), but otherwise fantastic entry.

There is a "final form" follow by a last health and gun upgrade and then Aliens just spawn and shoot more. The final form zooms out the game too so you see a lot farther but thanks for the kinda feedback! I didn't experience any of the control issues you called out but I am not surprised there are bugs they weren't not meant to add to the difficulty :).

I love the fast-paced gameplay and the variety of different aliens. The mechanics are simple and evolve nicely with each upgrade. A fun arcade game!
