Very good looking game, I had a lot of fun playing it! Loved picking up all the new gear and trying out what it did :)

Developer

thanks you. I appreciate your comment. Glad you enjoyed

Submitted

cool game!! i liked choosing different loadouts. the different heads were a nice touch too! wasn't expecting the giant enemy fight! 

Developer

Yeah the Giant enemy was a surprise. Glad you enjoyed.

Submitted

VERY striking visuals. Feels somewhat aimless, though. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah. I understand what you mean by it feeling aimless. I'm glad you liked the look of it though!

Submitted

The graphics and sound effects were wonderful. I feel like they built a pretty nice theme. Would like more difficult enemies in later waves, but overall, a good game.

Developer(+1)

Yeah. We are thinking of expanding this game. Glad you enjoyed the art and sound of the game!

Submitted

Awesome colour palette and art direction! Really love the apocalyptic science fiction vibes from this game and the music and sound effects were on point as well!

Would love to see a version where there were more enemies but you could also spam your weapons a bit more instead of being blocked by cooldowns.

Developer

Im gladded you enjoyed. We plan on working on it after the Jam.

Submitted

Awesome game! The bright colors and silhouette-style of the artwork make everything clear and easy to understand! You make sure that the player gets the upgrades fairly quickly so that they can try everything. This is very smart! I ended up being carried away from the game as I climbed on top of the boss, but it made me laugh more than anything haha. Great entry!

Developer(+1)

Im gladded you enjoyed the art and mechanics of the game. Really appretiate it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks you. I also did not know of that bug. Glad it was humurous.

Submitted

Excellent artwork! And a cool game to go along with it. Enemy spawn rate felt a bit slow, and it wasn't always clear what each upgrade did, but it generally felt good to play and there's definitely a solid base here. Well done.

Developer(+1)

Yeah. We planned on adding descriptions in-game, but didn't get to it, so we put them in the description of the game.

Submitted

Really enjoyed the world and the soundtrack. Fighting enemies is cool too, although I feel like it would be better if enemy spawn rate ramped up over time so that it gets harder the more you survive. Also enjoyed testing out all the different parts available.

Developer

Thanks. Very happy you enjoyed this game.

Submitted

I went until 85k, very cool game. The art is splendid, congrats.

Developer

Nice High score. Glad you liked it.

Submitted

Really excellent work! It's impressive how many upgrades and customizations you managed to include in such a short time, and they all have their own distinct playstyle, and combine in interesting ways. I feel like it almost doesn't even need to be said because it's so clear but the visuals were great and I love little touches like the cracks that develop in the forcefield. And even an epic boss! It all reminded me of doing solo runs in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, which I hope comes across as as big of a compliment as I mean it.


Developer

YEAH that was a big complement. I know how nastolgic feelings like that feel. I am glad you enjoyed it a lot.

Developer

Also Nice Highscore!

Submitted

this was so fun!! i loved the art style and game design! nice work! i got 60,000 points :)

Developer(+1)

Nice Score! The artist did a great job and our team really did good planning things, though we weren't able to add everything we planned.

Submitted

A very well executed game! Art and music have a lot of polish.

Developer

Thanks! Our team worked pretty hard.

Submitted

Wow, the graphics and style is fire! Sound is there as well.

Want to see more! Please! :)

I would expect that big robot (boss) to shoot laser or something.

Really liked the game!

Developer

Yeah! Actually we planned for the Drone to shoot lasers, but didn't have time to add it. The Sound Designer and Artist did do a great job and we are thinking about adding more after the jam.

Submitted

Cool! Would like to see the update!

Developer

I look forward to updating. :)

Submitted

Great entry and style! I wish there was a brief description of what each component does when you stand over them. Maybe after you have picked them up the tooltip changes from ??? to the description. Also, the intensity progression felt really slow to me. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Yeah we didn’t have time to implement descriptions into the game nor to balance progression. But we did the best we could. Glad to see you liked it!

Submitted

Really enjoyed that! The colour palette and style to the visuals on this is really cool!

Developer

Thanks. Im glad you Really enjoyed it!!!!

Submitted

Really fun to play, nice mechanics and interesting way of using the wildcard. 

Great Game!

Developer

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Neat idea of using the parts as power ups/tools to customize the character and allow users to build their play style. Art looks great and the sound effects are really neat.

Developer

Yeah. Our team worked hard on the art and music of this game. Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! The art is this one is briliant. It all feels so cohesive!

Developer

Thank you so much :)

Developer

I agree. @Babysamurai did awesome on the art.

Submitted(+1)

Loved it.  Very fun.  The art direction is *chef's kiss*

I was playing after a while thinking "Nice, but its getting kind of easy..." then BAM a thousand enemies and my shotgun overheats!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Lol. Yeah trying to balance difficulty and attack damage was a struggle and it isn't yet perfect. Glad you enjoyed it though! :)

Submitted(+1)

Wow, this game is so pretty! I really love the art you've put together. How you've approached the theme is super cool too. Lots of fun discovering new weapons and getting stronger.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the feedback! It was very much appreciated. I’m glad you enjoyed the game. The artist working with me worked hard on the game art.
