Very nice! Love the controls and the story. Congrats on getting Second Place!

Fun shooty times... bouncy bots are my bane.

Awesome game, I loved the monochromatic graphic style, you nailed it perfectly. I was also impressed by the controls and the LD, which are well done. I think that your game can expand to something bigger, keep it up!

Host

Wow this was awesome! I found the idea of using the mines as shields pretty interesting. Great game, there's nothing else to say!

Developer

Thank you!

I set out to make all the abilities in the game centered around the main weapon. If I had more times I would have added some more enemies which could only be defeated using certain abilities, like an enemy with a shield which could only be destroyed by exploding a mine inside it, or enemies which could only be hurt by hitting its top/bottom.

My dude why don't you just release this right now. 5 star on everything!

Nice controls, was confused that the character bot(?) didn't have an up-facing/down-facing sprite, it seemed like it was supposed to be top-down but was it really side-to-side? Nice music, nice color palette, nice looking sprites, too. Liked it a lot!

Developer

The perspective is a bit confusing. It was intended to be seen as a side-scrolling Shoot 'em up, but it looks more like a top-down shooter.

That music was great! It really got my hyped. And it was really challenging. Great game!

The art, music and gameplay are really great,  the  i got lost a bit because and i couldnt get a sense of direction. And it is hard! like really hard, but in a good way, i got frustrated a couple of times, but i wanted to go forward besides that. Great job!

Fun game! A unique take on the genre and challenging. The sprites were very clean looking too

The world was made so that the Gift of Life - known by its lesser name of Surgevania - could be bestowed upon us mere mortals, and I for one shall forever be grateful. Do not be a plebeian; play this game and have your third eye awoken.

I do enjoy my hollow victory!

Seriously you did an amazing job! The game mechanics are fun and the level design is really great!

My favorite game so far!

This was really neat and well done! A little bit hard to succeed but honestly, that was really enjoying to play, really smooth and the overall art direction + sound was on point! gj!
