  • pretty neat, i see what you were going for, and i do like me some vampire survivor like games, a bit jank, but a good start! dig into some play testing and really feel out what would make it feel smoother, I think a good start is to adjust the movement speed and the initial difficulty.

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
The idea was essentially smash together contra 3 top-down levels and jazz jack rabbit. It's a world where zombie yeast rises up its evil bread minions and it's the rabbits turn to send these creatures back to hell.

The controls are WASD for movement, Shift for sprint, space bar is dodge, aim with mouse, fire with left click and press G if you need to enable godmode(health and stamina refills)

There are 4 enemy summoner, one in each corner with a slowly approaching boss from the north.
Enemies are Ryesers, Doughcayers, Pieous Buns and CroisSatan

There is music, ive never done music for a game, sorry if it's mixed weird.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes, I've never uploaded to itch though so sorry if I missed something

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
There's a lot more I wanted to add to the game, but ive never made a game and haven't coded in over 10 years. I know it's not great, but I'm just happy to have made something.
Thanks.
