Pay With Your Blood

Great retro action game! Nice difficulty, didn't finish all the levels on first try but I didn't get frustrated either. I like the tile graphics, nice and clean. The shadow is a nice touch as well. At first it felt really bad that up is up with mouse aiming. I would have prefered strafing and going forward. After a while I did learn to play with the controls, so it's not a big deal I guess. I feel like the best start on the first level was just spam the bat. I couldn't figure out how to dodge and time my hits. Maybe it's just me. I played this on macbook with touchpad. It runs well, but I couldn't switch my weapons. I seemed to do fine with just one weapon / level anyway. All in all, great game. Great music and sfx! :D

I really like the shooting mechanics as well as the different weapons as having multiple weapons really adds depth to the game! I think maybe the shotgun should maybe have done less damage over range, but that's not an issue whatsoever! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!

Wow, very nice Hotline Miami homage, top-down action and a cool tune as well :-)

Of course the enemy movement could have been a little more sophisticated ;-)

It is a nice little game, the graphics are fine for a Ludum Dare game. Funny programmer art. The music is very cool.

Music is amazing, gameplay and sfx as well. Really well done. Only thing I would recommend is to make the player just a little bit bigger in relation to the level. Usually I don't really like top down shooters but this was actually fun! Well done!

Cool game! I like how every level is a bit of a puzzle - which weapon to buy and how much ammo. The club feels a bit off in the beginning but the guns are pretty snappy and explosives are always fun.

Some more ways to lure enemies into traps / distract them would be an interesting addition.

The music was also pretty nice - I was sad when the shop music was stopped when starting a level :stuck_out_tongue:

Really nice. Fun little top down game. I feel like the graphics are a bit inconsistent but I’m always picky with graphics :P

Solid music and sounds. I like the way that you integrated the theme into the gameplay in a really thoughtful manner. If you continue work on this I'd love to see more enemy behaviors! Could really spice things up!

Nice game. The music was good. Good job!

I like the music and art, they fit together well. The movement was smooth and I liked the mouse aiming. The enemy AI was pretty good and I definitely approve of having multiple types of enemies in a level. The sound effects were also on point.

Unfortunately there was a pretty big bug for me on both Firefox and Chrome - I couldn't switch weapons at all and would get stuck with an empty gun and killed. I'd say the basic club weapon should maybe have some changes so I can win fights by skill instead of just trading damage for damage.

Also there was this pretty funny bug here - the enemies can push you outside of the level:

I like the music. The gameplay is ok, but the enemy's AI often gets stuck. The C4 sometimes glitches and flies through the room stopping at the first wall. Overall I think it's nice but glitchy.

Fits the theme as proper and makes for a decent, yet sometimes a buggy top down shooter which i like for the fact that gives options of what i can use each level!

Great job!

the character is too slow which makes the fight slow and rigid.
