Really nice art and good take on the theme. The game is a bit to easy once you figure out how to use the special (literally got them in a corner and could survive indefinitely, I reached 500+ point that way and could of had more).
Overall though, it's a good execution for a twin stick. Maybe have a fixed wave system instead of an infinite game loop.

heres some tips:
-add enemies that drop health
-wave system(?)
- player needs for abilities, like a dash to not get trapped in a corner

AMAZING AND UNIQUE ART? CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK
MAN! The monsters spawning monsters spawning monsters, the hearts like how did you pull so amazing hearts? And the hit animation scream cracks me up man!
I have to play this again :D And analyse your sprites, so much was happening I couldn't contain all the beauty...
thank you! Thank you for leaving a comment to my game, so I could experience this!
(I am still trying to figure out how you pulled of all those shapes and made them spawn like so nicely!)

-WOLF-Wow thank you so much! I'm really happy to read this and glad that you liked the game!
I created a shader using the shader graph of the Unity to create the effect in the hearts and everything else. This shader allows me to take a texture and make something like a sprite mask, but a sprite mask that can be animated and more efficient (I guess, because the tests I've made before using sprite mask for this effect was a real mess) .
And thank you again for the compliments! It's really nice to see when someone likes our games!
It has really good visuals, audio, and most of all gameplay. There is something satisfying while playing it. I like that enemies sometimes wander around and as long as they are on arena - they are getting much more faster.

Getting drunkI like the simple arcade style gameplay. On top of that, the graphics have this very charming style :)

Broken ControllerThank you so much! Good idea! I'll try to put some collectable (maybe the special shoot ammo) after the jam ends... I tried to think in something to make the player stops running in circles making the enemies a little more unpredictable, but it this didn't worked so well... Thank you again for your suggestion :)
To be honest, all of the enemies are exactly the same hahahaha until 2 hours before I submit the project they was even with the same sprites hahaha they speed up if you don't kill them. Make they really different is certainly something I want to make in the future, like the blue ones flank you while the red ones just go to a random position....
