Really fun little game. The theme is integrated well...after picking up a dozen ish power ups it gets BUCK WILD. Looks and sounds good too. Nice work!

Nice game! Very difficult.
On the games page you say that your friend made the music however - compo entries must be only content you alone created during the 48 hours. Jam entries you can use assets by others, but should opt-out of that category for judging (in this case, audio).
Wow! The game feels GREAT! Definitely got the game feel down - the shotgun packs a punch. Really like the integration of the theme, more shotgun power = more knockback = more death. Sound design was also very very good. The only improvements I can really suggest would be different enemies? One that when killed pours out a bunch of little baby bugs? Overall fantastic though!
Nice game & really satisfying! But I kinda found an exploit, where you just hug walls and fly from wall to wall. It makes gameplay tedious, but is the optimal strategy. I can get over 100k points easily with this strat.

But overall in the beginning it played well and the slow-mo is super freaking awesome!
Nice balancing with making the corners dangerous and the game feel is really strong in this one. Strong theming too as the more powerful you are, the recoil makes it really hard. Would be better with a more zoomed out view. Soundtrack is pretty rocking too. Solid entry.
This game feels GREAT to play! Really smooth and polished. Looks and sounds great too. Found that staying too close to walls got me hit by spawning enemies I couldn't even see however.
This game is REALLY JUICY !! Wonderful slow motion effect when ever you get hit, the shots have a great impact, the sound is really nice !
Juicy af, no need to say more (quite honestly)
In this game, the more and more of theese "power-ups" you get, the more damage you deal and the more you get thrown back when you shoot! You can use the throwback, however, as an advantage, by shooting the opposite direction you wish to go. ;)
my browser, firefox, caused issues for the transparency, other than that no issue. I wont deduct points for that, as it is just me so far.
I do like the game. Sound was really good, and the game does pick up fast as you go. I agree more bug types, but I know what it is like, time limits to coding/art/sound in compo. :)
I love it!
Awesome game! I really liked it. The feel of it was just right. so awesome to power up your shotgun and use it to move around the arena. Putting the dev score in the bottom was such a smart design move- it kept me playing until I could beat it!
The only complaint I can think of is that you didn't make the music yourself. It makes sense that you opted out of the audio category, but it also influences things like mood/humor/feel of the game, and it's not really fair to other participants who had to spend time composing music themselves.
That being said, I still enjoyed the heck out of this game! Way to go making a game that is complete and feels this good within only 48 hours!
Super fun! quite similar to my game as well :smiley: Firing that shotgun just feels so satisfying. :Kreygasm:
Very pleasant game & solid entry. I like the gameplay, mechanics & controls, the game is pretty well balanced, +1 for the recoil when shooting and the different feedback when killing, taking power-up or the dust when moving, all these small elements really polish the final result! Well done :)
Good game, I like it! With big gun level I can just use back return to move person :D I think you can add some healing buff and extend of map (because after much time and with big gun level you just sprint in bounds of map) to increase game time.
So for LD it's greate job I think, Cheer!
I really enjoyed myself for a good 10 minutes while finishing my game... Curse you for distracting me ! One thing I could say is that I would have liked the camera to be further away to see where I was launching myself. Other that that it's a great compo game.
Knockback is a fun mechanic. I discovered you can use it to move faster by shooting the other way. I could spend some time with this game.
Awesome game , the slow motion when you take an hit is a really cool feature , moreover you can ROCKET JUMP .
Game was a little stale. I agree the shotgun was satisfying to fire, but there wasn't enough variety. Was fun for a few minutes. I also was getting some weird black artifacts when sprites were animating, not sure what that was about.
Enjoyed it a lot. Really satisfying, and I thought the mechanics were cool. Very fun
Audio was great, the feedback you get from each sound is great. Idea was simple but effective. Quite a hard game, challenging but fun! The ultimate attack was a cool touch. Music was a little obnoxious, but props for having made music for the game in the first place. Great job!
[+] Nice audio!
[+] Pretty impactful feel on the boomstick
[-] The border obscured enemies at times
[-] framerate drops when there was too much on the screen.
a Real nice game maybe need little joke for be wonderfull
Really nice game! Enjoyed the feel of the weapon and the flow of the game. I was wondering how you could get 32k score (I always got around 13k) and then I saw the 100k exploit, so I guess there are multiple ways to play this game :) nice!!
Very nice game!
Good one, it's fun to play even it's a bit hard to me. Only thing is the border hides me and enemies, it doesn't help but this is not the main reason for my low score. :D
Cool shoot-em-up game! Very quick step up of nr of enemies, may slow it down a tad and add one or two other enemies. Nice screenshake & effects to make the 'kick' work! :)
Fun game and really challenging. Flyinr around like that makes it really diffucult to hit anything and avoid spiders at the same time.
