You really don't want your player to catch a break, do you?

Seriously, that's a good arcade concept but you might want to give us a few seconds of calm at the start to get a grip on the controls. 

Speaking of those, I feel like there's a bit too many possiblities for such a fast-paced game; maybe you should choose either melee or shoot and stick to it (or give the player the choice at the beggining?), cause I don't feel like it's possilbe to do both at the same time when running for your life. Or maybe I just suck at it, not impossible.

But there's definitely juice and a good feel in your game, so great job!

Thank you for the insightful criticism! I definitely agree the game is too frantic and was mostly an experience in getting simple feel & juice right, so I'm glad that part worked out at least.

Pretty tricky game! The enemies are quite relentless, but look and feel quite juicy. Since the enemies attacked you from the start, it took a while for me to realize there were other actions than move and melee combat. Maybe wait with aggressive enemies for until the player kills one (passive) enemy.

Nice concept! I couldn't play for long though as the camera movement was a bit over the top and made me a bit nauseated sadly.

Ah, sorry about that! Thanks for giving it a go anyway.
