Overall, I really enjoyed the game's feel. The endless wave of various types of zombies plays pretty good and many classes helps with the gameplay loop. However, redesigning the upgrade system would make it even better. Right know it's very easy to become powerful very quickly and to me it makes the feeling tedious.

How does your game fit the theme?
When you die, you start again as a different character.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and made all the art. The sounds/music and particles are not mine.

Evolver ShipGreat game! I love the power-up mechanic. The graphics and the timing aver very good. As a constructive feedback I would suggest that you normalize the movement to prevent being faster when moving in diagonals.

Golden Flower - Botanical dreamsNice game! The game kind of reminded me of Hades and the game was really addicting. Though I would say that you could make the graphics a bit more consisten (especially the particles) and add some more juice and animations. But still, good job!

A Hell of a DateVery addictive! I like the reload timer, which encourages you to shoot precisely. The zombie sounds are fun too! The space ship launching at the start gives the game a bit of context which is interesting.perhaps the game could be expanded to include different planets and aliens. Anyway, excellent game!

Chrono HorizonPretty cool game would recommend disabling health pack when full health

Murder Spree at the BWTHi!
I really liked the clean movement and shooting felt very satisfying
If you ever update the game it might be helpful to have a small tutorial so people arent confused at first
The upgrades were super fun and I like what you did with the idea!
Overall, I quite liked it and had some mindless fun

Rebirth of the PhoenixVery fun game! At first I ran out of ammo like other people I see, but then it was very exciting and I won. Really like how the game feels, the different weapons and enemies. Some personalized upgrades would be nice, because as a bomber I don't really need exploding or piercing bullets. Good job :)

NoahFun game! I ran out of ammo quickly, so that was limiting. Nicely done! Check out my zombie game!

Oh No, Zombies Again!This was actually such a fun game. My first run I found that I ran out of ammo and it ended pretty fast but on my next runs that wasn't an issue. The sounds an ambience were great and the speed in which you got upgrades felt really good since it didn't take long.
One thing I'd suggest is to make it clear when the player is out of ammo or make it reload automatically after shooting whilst you have an empty mag. Of course, the art could do some polishing - the player, tileset and rocket and effects like the rocket flames and death burst effect all felt like they were from different game rather than a cohesive single game.
I think if it took inspiration from vampire survivors where you keep your upgrades after a run could make this game really hard to put down!
All in all, this is a solid entry, that beneath the simplistic art has some solid gameplay and is fundamentally fun. A great proven concept!
Also the thumbnail art looks great - Am i right in thinking it's AI generated? Midjourney maybe?
Anyway, great effort, keep it up!
Was a fun game. maybe adding a permanent bufff after each run would make it cool.
