Awesome game man, very fun to play! It's oddly similar to mine in the sense that we both have shooting squares haha :D Good job!

Thanks man, it means a lot to me!

Looks very fun, but I have a french keyboard so WASD maps to other key, and arrows don't work for me. I also have to click for each bullet, which is stressing for my hand. So I wasn't able to really get in the game.

Nice work! I think you strike the right balance in how much health you have and how much health you spend while shooting. I do think that the game's difficulty does ramp up a hair too quickly, though.

@taqoshaq Yeah near the end I had some trouble with figuring out how the game's difficulty would increase as the waves progressed. I might iron this out in a update or in VitalGun 2. Thank you for the feedback!

Another placeholder square game, Just like mine :D

So, the game is clever in the shooting/losing life thing, but it is kinda not balanced well, even with the pads (that i first thought were places you could put auto-shoot turrets) you know you won't take long to lose the game, you could balance more, giving more power to the player. I think that one of the thinks that lets what i mentioned in the paragraph above is the fact that the enemies come from 4 directions, i think it is kinda overwhelming. but your game is nice even if it doenst have art. It's far better than mine though

It was going well when i realized that i have other weapons. When i use them my health immediately drops to zero and death. But it was good experience. Good luck!
