This is a neat little rogue-lite game. It's a little bit finicky to play, but I loved the dungeon crawling parts of it! This is definitely really replayable. Good job!

I like the dungeon crawling element mashed with the shoot-to-move mechanic and the artistic component is solid.

I was excited to find a shoot-to-move game that really felt like it nails that out of control theme. It's cool how different the gameplay feels with such a simple tweak, where I start trying to get myself stuck on walls to regain control. Awesome job with it, it's a very solid execution of a cool concept!

I really liked the music, art, and gameplay! It was fun to figure out how to move and avoid enemies while still trying to hit them. 

I also died randomly when I hit the stairs down while holding the key and had the bazooka equipped. Didn't see what happened there.

Overall: great, fun, little replayable game! 

I got a solid chuckle from the movement mechanics as soon as I booted up the game. Shoot to move but you can't control the shooting? I'll definitely take it. :P The art style works well to make sure that everything isn't too cluttered on the screen, considering the wall of bullets that you inevitably have to face. The world remains readable even among the chaos, which is always good. Was I good at the game? Absolutely not. Did I still have fun? Absolutely. Nice work! :D

Also, here's some bad fan art for you:

Cool little game! I really dig the simple graphic style!
I'd love to see what it'd be like in local multiplayer too, do you think it'd be interesting?

Oh boy, my first "shoot to move" game for this jam, though, since the character pretty much always moves this label doesn't really fit... So, cliché avoided. :D

I like this game. It has a pretty steep learning curve but when you get more comfortable with the controls and general mechanics you already feel like you mastered something and feel super cool playing it. So that's a plus. You really need to think differently for this game so that gives a huge potential for the player to improve and get better.

It didn't really feel like the levels got harder as I got further. But that's okay since I think the first level is plenty difficult.

Next thing that I like is that the different weapons aren't only upgrades but also change how you play (at least some of them).

So this game was great fun.

And the graphics as well as the soundtrack rocked as well. :)

very good game

i like the arts used for the guns

good work

Combining movement and attacking is really clever, it simplifies the gameplay but also creates a high technical skill ceiling. The monochromatic pixel art helps with readability and gives it a style all its own. If you're good at twitch roguelikes, give it a shot!

The "shoot to move" mechanic is nothing new, but there's so much on top of that that makes this game stick out. It's extremely well polished with a great art style, has great music, and always feels responsive. The variety of weapons is really awesome and it's cool how some of them even change how your character moves. I'm not sure if the game is randomly generated or not, but if it is then there's infinite repeatability as well. The only issue I have is that the difficulty could be turned way down. It would be awesome if there were more and harder enemies on later floors, cause right now it's hard for me to even get past 2. Overall great entry that fits the theme.

Check mine out and drop a rating, if you have the time :)

I was assigned to review this game from the reviewing discord. Unfortunately the mac build doesn't seem to work, once I unzip it and try to run, my computer just says it's broken and needs to be deleted.

A very nice take on the theme, with the classic shoot to move theme - the downwell vibe is nice!

really fun

It is a really fun game. I liked the composition of arts and songs and how it gets together. I also like how the description on the page was and wasn't necessary for me.  I thought I was good until I have no ideia what do what and decided to read it haha.
Overall I had a lot of fun playing. Well done!

Nice music and game mechanics. Liked it!

First 5 star I gave on 'Fun'

Kinda wished there was a titlescreen. I also wished I could stop shooting but I began to understand and respect the decision. It was fun moving around and there were times I wished I could move faster and times I wished I could move slower so overrall it seemed like a really good pace for gameplay.

You didn't put too much descriptions on what stuff was but you didn't really need to because you used classic videogame tropes and things were really clear. I didn't know what those white 6ish things on the were.

The part I had the most fun was when I just decided I was a pro at your game and started playing really recklessly and let adrenaline take over and that was a great decision because I had a ton of fun doing that lmao.

Good choice on music also bc it matches the pace of fast segments and raises tension when things die down.

Very curious on how u did the specks on the floor. I couldn't notice a pattern and Im wondering how U did it.

Overall, well done.

wow i LOVED this!!  I'm honored to be the first review haha.  This is a really clever mechanic that I instantly clicked with.  And it works flawlessly, AND there's a ton of content (love how the powerups change the way of play so much).  I love the art style, it's both retro and stylized uniquely.  Most importantly though it's really interesting and challenging and fun at the same time, which is a hard combo to pull off.  Best game of the jam I've played so far!
