Probably one of the most fun games in this jam! I managed to get to 543! The game is a bit too punishing though, sometimes I got hit by things that felt way out of the way from my helicopter. I like the graphics too, but sometimes it can be a bit hard to tell the background and foreground apart. But I guess that's what you have the flashlight for ;). Also, the lava shader looks awesome! Great job!

Developer

Thanks, I'm really proud of the lava shader :)

I agree with you about the background, if I were to remake it, I would have made separate textures.

Thanks for playing!

This was really fun. It was honestly interesting having to decide what enemies constituted a threat to me and how worth it it is to spend ammo.

From what I can tell, it seems like the imps spawn a hitbox in front of them when they attack rather than firing any actual moving projectiles. It might have been a better idea to make an animation reflective of that.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The imps use raycasting for their damage, although there are definitely a few bugs with it I never worked out.

The sound and music are wonderful! They fit perfectly with the game, good job.
