Wow that is hardcore. Somehow that felt harder than Hotline Miami (which is clearly an inspiration). I would recommend making the ships smaller with less enemies to make it a bit easier. But I like the execution and art, this can be great if you balance the difficulty a bit ;)

Art is really cool, and i like hardcore gameplay. Unfortunately it's not clear what's the combination of two genres.

The game is challanging and I like it that way. I really like the idea of shooter + stealth , it was funny when guards were searching after I shot some guard down and then once the search was complete I could do the same thing for every guard. Maybe the Space Shooter Section could be filled with more things to do, since I only stayed for like 1-2 minutes in that section. Would love to see how the game evolves in future.

Wanted to get to level 2 to see the spaceship but it gets boring after a few min with how easily you die.

whoa.. a challenging game, anyway i love the visuals and the music fitting well in this game. Nice work :thumbsup:

So hard to dodge the bullets, maybe some more shots but slower bullets.. and life. Could not get to stage 2 to see the spaceship, or maybe I just didnt learn how to play the game the way it was meant. Great Art and sound. Good Job!

Very difficult but also very fun and there's a decent amount to the game, but it mostly becomes repetitive after a while. Graphics and sound work great together, only complaint is that the enemies look the same as the player, which is a bit odd. Great job :grin:

Very hard game, but it was fun to play.

Functional Hotline Miami inspired top-down-shooting with a separate, unbaked, spaceship flying bit in the middle. Not much of a mix and very compatible too as completely unique modes tend to be.

I do like the idea of crashing into other ships taking them over Heat Signature style. More guns to replace the puny, though efficient, little laser pistol would have added much needed variety to the action.

Visually pleasing pixel art apart from the background stars which don't look great clumped together like that. Audio is serviceable at best, pew-pews and short music loops.

Ok work, properly mixing up this specific top-down-shooter genre with something else might have yielded interesting design. Now we'll never know.
