- Solid survivorlike with pleasing aesthetic and soundtrack. Would have been nice if the recycling bin was a black hole you could kite enemies into. Has potential to be further expanded into a complete game and released on Itch or Steam.

Very cool, nicely polished! the art style is really consistent and tidy! This one is super fun to see because we made a similar idea but we've both made different key choices, so it's cool to see how different choices have affected the gameplay and design.
For me personally, I really enjoyed the gameplay, though I feel like the start can be a bit of a slog. the fire rate and movement speed are pretty slow initially and upgrades to those increment pretty gradually, so it becomes much more methodical rather than run and gun. But this is more a matter of taste than anything else. The combinations of errors were pretty interesting overall and you had a decent variety. There were a good amount of monkey's paw type things where i really had to decide if the glitch is worth it for me, which is pretty neat.
Overall great job!
Very good Game ! The art, music and gameplay are really enjoyable ! I really like the survivor and how you integrate the theme to it !
absolute ~~cinema~~ game
Great game! Great execution of the theme.
I really like the parts where the upgrades you acquired becomes part of the environment that you have to avoid or be mindful of in the game, added a new cool layer of how to make the game more difficult over time. The arts are also very nicely done. The music is actually pretty simple, but the small touch of being able to change the track if you shoot at it is also very clever, add a lot of flavor to the game.
I found the game started out pretty slow and the rate at which player acquires new upgrades was also slow. Maybe if the balancing was tweaked a bit players could get to see more of the content you have've made.
Overall a pretty solid entry though. Very nice job indeed!
