What a great entry!
The mood and mechanics are really great, and make this simple game feel fun to play.
#### Details I loved: - chucking current held weapon with right click - music cutting out when dying - different weapon types respond to different parts of the beat (default gun gets the quarter, shotgun gets the 2 & 4 or snare)... is there an auto rifle that gets the 8th note? that'd be cool! - the blocks changing colors with the beat - little penguin (I mean duck) man
#### Some suggestions & crit: - ramp up difficulty instead of starting full-on hell-mode (specifically, stage 1 should have about half the baddies, and it should get harder from there) - the beat *doesn't quite* line up with the music, which is a big bummer for a rhythm game. - if you chuck your weapon, you should pick up a weapon on collision, rather than having to right click on it.
I'd love to see what this game is like with about 10 more hours of dev time! Great job!
Great entry! Wayyy too hard for me but I can see someone who's into this genre really enjoying this! I liked the way chaos was made in the game (screenshake, bullets everywhere, being able to throw away your weapon). However the game was also very unforgiving, the enemy bullets were very fast so sometimes I just walked away and got instantly hit by enemy bullets (maybe there's a pattern but I haven't seen it)

Nice! I really like it, great idea! The difficulty is nice but being sniped from enemies off screen is a bit unfair I think. Love the hecticness, reminds me of Hotline Miami. And a lot of polish for a LD game, congrats!
Btw that menu song is a 10/10 🦆

Wow this game is pretty challenging and it was really great to play :) The only thing that I found was quite strange were the different resolution but really great game ^^
@DrSkort Thanks! Hope the resolution didn't cause too much problems!
Super cool! I reeeeally like how the the shooting matches the music, I'm a sucker for rhythm-like games so this was 👌👌👌
Cool game :) Would be nice if the difficulty was ramped up so that you would get in to the grove a bit before getting too difficult. Still I had fun playing it :)
Challenging, but fun and satisfying once you get the hang of it. The music starts over every time you respawn, which is a bit grating since you die so often. Regardless, fun game!

[PEEEEEOWNG, du-di-di-du-di-di. You died. R to restart.] Right now I think this might be the hardest game I've ever played. ;) Banger disco music and good controls! I just neeeeed a Level 1 level one to teach me the ways. Good job on this entertaining (and frustrating ;) entry!
Haha very hard, but nicely done! Love the music and screenshake, looks great!
Wow, neat idea! The game plays really well as far as I can judge, because totally I suck at it... But I can still appreciate your game! The feedback for shots fired is really nice. The atmosphere is super cool, too.
Sweet entry <3
