Hi, I played the game. Let's start off by addressing the elephant in the room, the game needs balance. The skeletons are the main reason why this game is so unbalanced, one on one, they aren't anything tough, but due to the game's surplus spawning rate they can easily gang up on you. Now, I know you wanted to make the game difficult, but this is too much. I recommend playing Nuclear Throne or taking a look at it. As far as I played, it seems that the only weapon available is the starter pistol or the weapon spawn rate is too slim, compared to the game's difficulty curve. To combat this, i recommend nerfing the skeleton and add more variety in the game, enemy, buff or weapon wise. Speaking off buffs, ammo spawns are rare, not to mention the fact that skeletons take 5 shots to kill and the ghosts almost 10, due to this the minuscule amount of bullets run out in 20 seconds, and yes i did count. (no i didn't lol) Besides the unbalanced gameplay this game is pretty cool, the art and the music with the sound effects make this a pretty cool game. I also recommend adding a downloadable file. All and all this game needs work but could easily be a fun game. Good job.

Hello! Thank You for playing! The game balance is definitely something that needs to be addressed like You said. I feel like I spent too much time on the visual side of the game and not enough time on the actual balance and gameplay, but all the feedback has helped recontextualize things! I'll take a look at Nuclear Throne to see how they balanced things out, Thanks for the recommendation and feedback!
