Love the aesthetic! Fun and well made game. The 'tube tv' view made it a bit hard to focus but overall it's a really great game.

The aesthetic is gorgeous and it's a legit fun shooting game! Really beautiful work, well done!

Really liked it! Only possible critique would be to make the power ups a bit more useful.

The graphics are nice The difficulty curve ramps up pretty slowly, leaving the early game kind of dull. I also would have wanted to see more substantial, meaningful upgrades. And/Or some more interesting enemies who maybe shoot back, or force you to prioritize your targets differently Not bad, though

I really like the Grafics, how did you create this game(like which enigne / fromscrap)? One thing tho, in my opinion the difficulty could have increased a little bit faster, it took some time until the game got hard (Or i might just be a naturally talented Zombi defeater who knows XD) all in all, very good game

Beautiful visual style and smooth gameplay, this is a really fun game with great mood! I love it!

I love visual effects and aesthetics! Also nice balance and game speed for me.

Really great Game i liked the Aesthetics. I first thought the reload button gives you more reloads instead of reducing the reload time

The game plays well, but is unfortunately too easy. I simply kept choosing fire rate, and that way the enemies never even got close. Because of this I also didn't need to use my special ability. It's understandable though. Often you barely have any time left to balance your game. I like the music and the graphics. The shaders work well. And I think it's nice that you can choose between two characters. Good job!

I had a great intresting experience playing this! Real very aesthetics and good game!

Really enjoyed the difficulty of it after a while. The beginning part took far too long to get to that stage though so perhaps tweaking that may have been better. I do like the option for the 2 different powers and preferred the 1st one over the 2nd. Graphics wise it was nice, and I like the TV effect added on to the game.

The fullscreen shader really pops the visual to the next level. The gameplay is a bit too simple for my liking but it is nicely polished and the audio and visuals are nicely polished to a satisfying quality.

Good graphics and audio. But the game is too easy, you can practically just stand in one place shooting enemies and you will be fine. I got about 25k points and then gave up. It is not a bad game but it does require some balancing.

A solid and fun twin-stick shooter. In my first run I didn't know about the special ability, so a small help text at the start of the game would have been helpful (however, the controls were explained in the game description, so it's fine). I reached 2 million points with the first character after enough upgrades to fire rate and reload time (I quit the game at that point - I don't know how many points I could have reached in total 😅).

The difficulty curve could have been a bit steeper (but balancing never is easy in a game jam), and it would have been nice to have some more types of upgrades (and then randomly select 3 of them to choose from every time).

Also, the second character felt a bit weak compared to the first one (slower, less bullets per reload, and the special ability seemed less powerful than the slow-motion ability) and I didn't see any advantage to choosing the second character... Except for a higher difficulty, which may have been the intention, though...?

Overall I had some fun with the game. Good job :)

I really like the crt vibe and the music. My only concern is that the 10 second power ups feel a bit unnecessary, maybe - as it mentioned by others in previous comments - the difficulty curve could be a bit steeper.

Great audio and visuals, I wish the game ramped up in intensity faster but I'm a sucker for arcadey gameplay. Love the atmosphere of the game.

Very nice polished little game! Had a lot of fun playing it.

Very cool visual style and the music. SFX were also good. The difficulty progresses strangely. It's very slow at the start, to a point where you feel like next to nothing is changing. But then it suddenly picks up pace. Feels a bit uneven and very slow at the start.

The whole game plays well, and I didn't encounter any bugs. Quite polished!

Incredibly well done aesthetically, the only issue i had was that the difficulty curve left the early game far too easy to the point of being boring and some enemy variety could have been nice as things went on. Solid work regardless, could be an incredibly fun arcadey game with just a bit more work.

I really like the CRT effect! The overall aesthetic is great and I like the punchy sound fx of the shooting. As with the other players I think the difficulty can be tweaked a little but apart from that I like the polish on the game! Great job!
