I think we both know that this gameplay is adequate at best...but I love the aesthetic. That background is glorious.

Nice game! I had fun. Although eventually I figured out that you could camp and kill them quickly. But the feel of the game was great. Can definitely see this become really competitive with a bit of AI work. Great job!
I agree. The graphics are cool.
i really like those buildings dude
I couldn’t find the key to move right (d) so I just stayed there and pressed right and robots appeared and they died and I won.
jumping on the bandwagon, those buildings are sweet
I like being called a 'winner' when I have clearly been shot to death.
Man, how many guys does a guy have to shoot to win?
Looks cool, but I could not run it:
$ ./main.py
File "./main.py", line 18
if not pygame.font: print 'Warning, fonts disabled'

As others have said, the visual style is great! Unfortunately, the gameplay has nothing that's really "fun" about it.
Since this is a game, I have to judge it more on how enjoyable it is to play than how cool the graphical style is, sorry. I wish that the neat style would have been taken and turned into a game with more substance. Perhaps an action-adventure game with levels that have a beginning and end, rather than infinite, instant-spawn enemies.
