well the first 10 deaths i thought i had to destroy the house. till i realized that i was getting negative score. it was more fun destroying things then going after the shooting ranger guys. :D

That was a lot of fun. Honestly I just loved shooting chainsaws at things.

This game is sick. Reminds me of the old Max Payne days with the rolling bear.
Very difficult, which is good.

A good game but quite hard,

khaotom 2016-12-12 08:26

HardCore, very dynamic, everything blow, everywhere is enemies, you died but want more and more))

A good tribute to Nuclear Throne!

Hard, hun, cool demolition.

Hell yeah, that was awesome. Chainsaw guns FTW.

dagorlad 2016-12-13 17:17

Hell Yeah! Gotta love chainsaws. Good job!

Fun little idea. Works just fine. I liked it.

ema1ih 2016-12-13 17:28

Fun game, I love the animations and art ^_^

The game tells me to not destroy the house, but damn I can't stop myself, it's so fun to do it :D

creativwhisper 2016-12-13 21:21

Interesting take on the theme. It's fun to kill people with chainsaws (even when i don't know from where they keep coming lol). Cool graphics and mechanics. Good work.

casevse 2016-12-13 21:22

Wow, shoot chainsaws! I really liked the atmosphere, and the mechanics are well implemented. Good work, keep improving it!

grandtheftmarmot 2016-12-13 21:22

Holy crap that was awesome!

megalink 2016-12-14 09:52

This game was awesome! Shooting felt very satisfying, good job!

jpdev 2016-12-14 18:52

Bear, cool. Chainsaws, better!
Getting shot by rangers way off screen.. meh..
Have to leave the theme-room also meh ;)
But cool concept :)

F-secure flagged the game as harmful; I'm fairly sure it was a false positive, but wanted to be sure.

I like the kind of twin-sticks shooter gameplay, but I think there are a few ways in which it could be improved for this game. Firstly, while losing points for shooting the furniture makes sense in that it prevents you from spamming your absurdly fast firing gun, it is impossible to get a positive score, as the rangers also destroy the furniture. Additionally, the graphic for losing the money is a bit distracting. It also makes the best strategy to immediately just go outside and spam kill them from there. Secondly, the fast rates of fire for both yourself and the enemies mean that there's very little strategy outside of spray and pray. I think if you could only shoot one chainsaw before having a short cooldown/reload time and then reducing the enemies rate of fire would greatly improve the game. This would also provide the opporunity for enemies to attack with different bullet spray patterns, leading to a richer gameplay experience where you approach different enemies and situations in different ways. Additionally, reducing the range of both you and the enemies would allow for much more satisfying combat, as you would be interacting with them onscreen, and seeing their death animations etc as opposed to just looking at the arrows offscreen.

Simple and brutal shooter. Isn't the screen shaking a bit too much?

marcosfl 2016-12-16 14:47

Great game! Shooting chainsaws and dodge rolling are great fun, congrats :D

babyjeans 2016-12-17 18:48

looks great and i love how it plays, the game itself was a bit too hard for me points wise but ehh, had fun anyway ;)

ato 2016-12-22 10:59

Fast and brutal. I liked that the house was demolishable. It was a little too hard for me to dodge the bullets in 3rd wave, but with more practice I could probably beat the game. Nice sprite work.
