Pew-pew-pew, what's more to say)

A fun little game! The enemies tend to get stuck on the trees as it so often happens with randomly generated levels ;) Kiting them is really enjoyable and the grenade cheese is strong xD

@vederant glad you liked it! Yes enemies does get stuck on trees. There was no time for better pathfinding. However, this does mean that they'll sometimes come chasing you from behind a tree which I will argue is a feature ;)

Hahaha, I love the dramatic ZOOM IN when you die! I love the simplicity of this game. Good replay value too!

Hello, nice simple game. I would like a different controll, something like WASD + mouse, it felt weird to control it on mouse. Even if zou play games like Diablo, you always can use "attacks" on some keyboard bind, but that might be just my bias :) I think it might use some feedback, at least sound for your flamethrower would be nice.

@wallkysek Hello. Glad you liked the game. We did try to use WASD but it felt weird. You don't have to hold down the mouse to move somewhere. You can simply click the location and your character will walk towards it(pathfinding is very simple, beware).

Simple but pleasant game. Having to move with the mouse is not intuitive at first. Firing seems a little under powered so grenade it was :boom: :smile: :smirk:

Since the flmaethrower wasn't really effective, I switched to another tactic : running and avoiding ennemies. Worked for a while, however, once you made a mistake, you have a whole army of red capsules beating your ass! Nice little game, especially for newcomers!

Cool little game! It's similar to some other games, but the clicking to run backwards as you spray fire forwards is pretty unique! More trees later on mean more chances to bunch up the reds and get them all with a grenade! Thanks for the fun game :smiley:

I can't shake off the impression, that flamethrower should have longer area of attack, and should deal more damage overall. In its current state i don't see it as an useful weapon... Which is a far cry from "grenades", or as I like to call them - nuclear mortars.

Overall, I can see a lot of potential in combat system you have built for that game.

It's interesting to see so many enemies chasing me but player's attack seems a little under powered, I got my best score just focus on running away without firing (or maybe I just too bad at attacking).
