How does your game fit the theme?
to win, you've got to die, lol.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, unless you consider Cinimachine and A* as not writing it.

Idea is cool, controls generally felt good. The ammo limit was unclear to begin with and then it felt like it was too slow to recharge.

Developer

Thanks, I'll work on the bullet mechanics.

Smooth gameplay. Some UI, such as health bar, ammo count, etc. would be useful - I wasn't sure when I could shoot, or why I couldn't shoot sometimes.

Developer

You have to go fullscreen to see that stuff, lol sorry.

Love the concept and i feel like this game has a lot of potential!

Developer

Thanks!

The graphics pop out nicely and the movement is smooth. Would be more engaging with some 8-bit music and SFX. I suggest adding an image to the itch page to get more players and feedback.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting concept! However it's sad there is no sound and it isn't a bit more polished, its quality would improve a lot to me with a few things! Sound when you shoot, when you get healed, when you lose, when you win, and a music loop would be great. HUD displaying to your screen, or at least a message telling you to go fullscreen. Another detail, I wondered for some time if there was a point on having the two spawner different colors? Not even sure what they are supposed to be xD Also I think you missed the theme a bit, unless it was intentional to take it on a wider sense.

On the positive side, I love the purple going everywhere when I shoot, and screenshake when shooting, good feedback. The HUD is quite clear too.

Thanks! Ya, I don't have as much time with school and al that to make games so it wasn't as polished as I'd have liked it to be. The spawners were basically just a quick fix that I'll probably be removing and replacing with preset levels.

Fun! My only feedback is to have a into menu and the camera was a little too zoomed in. Cool idea and it was fun to play, nice art too!

Developer

Thanks! I'll make sure to add that.

Cool, plays smooth. Well done!

Developer

thanks!

Everything seems to work, but seems like "winning" just takes standing still and doing nothing.

Developer

Lol, I'm definitely going to be fixing that.

A bit confusing on what's happening. Not sure if the zoom/resolution is off. Went around, killed stuff, but not sure what the goal is. Keep it up!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely add some more polish and variety!
