Very cool game! I never in a million years would have thought of this. The shooting is satisfying, and dodging the swarm of enemies is really fun. That said, some different types of enemies would definitely be beneficial, I think, or maybe just some different enemy behavior, as right now it's pretty easy to win just by moving in a circle. Also, while the healing puzzles are a great idea, sometimes it felt impossible to guess the word. I got the start and end of "flamethrower" with no middle letters, and I was at a complete and utter loss. Who knows? Maybe I'm just not smart enough for this. If you decide to expand this idea at all (which you absolutely should), I would also recommend implementing some different types of healing puzzles, as that would really add to the chaos! I'm seeing a Warioware style shooter in my head, and I'm loving every second of it. Thank you so much for the game!!
A lot of fun, the only suggestion I have is to make the enemies a bit tougher as they are too easy to kite in the current state.
The word puzzle part is just hilarious. Nice game. Also I feel you I´m also on a diet.
Oh my. You realy got me there. The moment I had to type in the letters it made my jaw drop, thats a funny idea. Also I like the simple artwork. Well choosen colors.
Best choice for the music in the game and even when you die. It feels realy good.
I think you should change that thumbnail in this page, because at first glance I did not feel like clicking on that. Your game deserves to be seen!
This is a really fun concept. A little difficult until you figure out what you are supposed to do. I ran around shot enemies for a while until I accidentally ran into the yellow box.
This game is super fast and adicting, the detail of the words being related to weaponry puts you into the context so well, however, English is not my main language so my ultimate strategy was to stay on level one and shoot enemies like there is no tomorrow, and I enjoyed a lot ^^
