Cool entry, too bad is too short! :)

Pretty fun game. I definitely _did_ feel bad ass, and my long years of dumpster diving helped keep me full up on ~~drugs~~ useful power-ups. Short, and sweet, with lots of shooting. I do wish it was a big longer, and I do wish the boss wasn't bugged, because it seemed like it could have been a fun fight.

Art and music were nice, though. Recommend to anyone wanting a fun few minutes of shooty time.

Nice game. But i don't understand why I loose some life on the first level ^^ Good music! Nice entry !

Pretty neat entry, but it is a little short. It also bothers me that there is no way to dodge the bullets unless you shoot zombies when they are so far away they don't try to run towards you. I still found the graphics to be nice and the concept kind of funny, but I wish there was more than just a few zombies and a UFO.

My favorite part was the music - pretty good pump-up tracks! Short and simple, but nice job! I got absolutely slammed by the boss, oh well :)

Bit weird. The first section felt a bit weird considering it was impossible to "dodge" the bullets but it wasn't all that hard either. The second bit was too easy? Not sure if the ship was firing or something but it definitely didn't hit me.

Nice game, it looks decent, although I think the game would benefit from some more visual indicators for bullets and such. The power-up system, whilst helpful, was a bit confusing and I wasn't entirely sure what everything did. The music was also pretty good, although it did take a bit long to actually kick in and geet the player pumped. As many people have said, the game was very short, but it handles pretty well and it's a pretty decent game.

Had to read a couple of times what each item did (was confusing damage with dodge on buttons 1 and 2). Game was short but fun. Graphics were simple but good and the soundtrack fit the game perfectly and wasn't annoying (sometimes its hard to get a good soundtrack that doesn't make you want to mute the game).

Could have played a couple more levels if there were any. Good job!

The gameplay is simple, but it's fun to shoot. And the music and art here are a little weird, but in a good sense of the word. In addition, the protagonist is very similar to my old boss, so ... It was fun doubly! Thank you for that! :)

Most certainly, the best thing in the game is humor and graphics. I simply LOVED the main character, he is cool af. Gameplay-wise the game is decently good. Shooting is always fun :) Gj!

Nice graphics and sound, also pretty fun. I'm not sure if I was missing it but there didn't seem to be a way to jump? Made it difficult to dodge the bullets. Also not too sure what happened in the second section but the space ship hovered over me and then everything became white... Overall pretty nice entry, good job :)

a pretty good entry, but it is too short in my opinion. i liked the music and the graphics. i don't really see the theme, but that doesn't matter too much. :) the inablilty to dodge was the worst part of the game, and i feel that spoiled the overall experience somewhat.

Heh, neat game! Certainly short, but the graphics fit nicely with the style!

The title of this game brought me here. :)

Fun concept! I like the different power up items and such, added a unique feel to the game. Also who doesn't want to be a badass hobo with a gun!? Really easy to pick up and play.

I wish there was a way other than using items to dodge enemy bullets, I don't know if I missed the jump button, but I couldn't find it. This game is pretty bare bones as well, and it was difficult to understand what each item did. You may want to add a short tutorial on how to use each of the items (I wish I had done this for my game with the stats).

Fun entry!

As others have pointed out - there are no dodge mechanics which makes it very hard. Just add a crouch state with a different hitbox (probably quickest) or add a jump.

I don't care if this doesn't win anything, know that it is easily the single best game in the jam, son.
