Cool game, feels nice to play and looks and sound great! I would like to have the option to choose from several abilities instead of just receiving one and rerolling. Overall fun game, good work!

excellent game!! what engine did you use? 5 stars!
@Kesha Thank you! We used Godot!
I love top down shooter games and this one with power-ups even better. Great game!
Excellent entry! Graphics are awesome and it is very fun to play. Congrats
Really fun to play and well polished ! But the performances degraded a lot over time on my side so i couldn't go really far without a very laggy game (Web version on Edge). Still a really pleasant experience until the point it's no longer playable !
Good atmosphere and graphics ! Could have add more of the theme into it maybe? ;)
Really cool game, love the art
@Astoeth You might have gotten unlucky, we posted a performance patch right before your comment. THanks for playing thought!!
@chromaphase Thank you! Yes... always the hardest part!
@k3y Thank you!!
Your game has really nice production value! It was fun to play. I agree with Zakroutil about being able to choose from several abilities instead of just one. I would have liked a keyboard shortcut to continue or at least a bigger button (so it's easier to click) so I can get back to the action faster. I thought the gameplay pausing every 10 seconds was annoying.
Nice work!
@chaikadev Thats really good feedback with the keyboard shortcuts, we tested mostly with a gamepad so that the mousekeys and enter button doesnt work for the menu isnt great! Thanks for pointing it out!
Cool one ! Very addictive gameplay. Sadly enough, I'm starting to experience serious lags by level 15 or so...
Roll was very satisfying to dodge enemies attacks, Had fun :)
Good job on this one - I liked the aesthetics and shmups are always fun. The money could have had a bigger collection zone as picking it up was a little painful. Also the money felt a little useless as the upgrades were all great - maybe could have made the enemy upgrades better and money used to skip the enemy upgrades?
Hit a performance issue when I moved in the the area to the right and the game became unplayable.
The look and feel are impressive even before considering you only had 3 days for them :)
I feel the upgrade stop broke the flow a bit. Maybe the upgrades could be integrated into the gameplay in such a way that doesn't stop it? Suppose you get a different power every 10 seconds, and to keep it you can use the money.
I destroyed the right barrier and enemies swarmed in. The performance took a hit at that time.
I can't believe how amazing this art looks, congratulations. The controls are smooth and it's fun to play. Very high score for this one.
The game got a bit laggy when the enemies swarmed in. Other than that the game is really good. Nice entry :)
Controls smooth as butter and such a nice artstyle! (:
Cool game, fun to play and nice graphics. Increasing max HP seems to be useless, since I didn't see any powerup regenerating HP. Icons informing about previous powerups are messy, it would be better to list the stats somewhere or sth like that. Reroll could apply to enemy powerups too or you could pick from 2-3 random player/enemy upgrades instead. Spawning could involve some animation or something, it would make it more fair imo.
The web version game gets laggy when player attack speed and bullet quantity increases, and reroll sometimes doesn't change the result. Graphically intriguing but as a classic arena shooter, it needs more polish in the gameplay experience.
@rezios Thank you!! Will look into the lags, thanks for reporting!
@shmador Thank you for playing!
@phillip-scott Thank you for all the feedback! And the performance needs some tweaking!
@ofiro Thank you! Yeah, true, it's a bit forced. And performance could be better...
@gonzalol Aw, you are too kind, thank you!
@phoenixofforce Yeah, performance is a thing we have to fix.
@msplanlos Tusen takk!!
@dod108 Thank you, and thanks for all the constructive feedback! The HP powerups are scattered all over the map, maybe you were just unlucky and didnt get that one.
The previous passive cards are a mess, just a time thing.
Nice Game however it got performance issues. On other lanes enemies keep spawning even when we don't have any access to that part of the game. I played till left laser gate was down and there were more than 40/50 enemies at once. That is what decrease the performance. You should check your enemy spawning and bullets. Probably bullets have the same issue. They may not be destroyed out side of layout.
Love the sound and art but that performance issue was a big one. Hope you fix it soon. (I played on itch.io - HTML5)
This is so cool! I enjoyed every second of gameplay! Thank you for this nice game!
I like the aesthetics, the music and have a good control.
Well done!
Really cool game, web worked fine for me :D
Nice game, movements are great and i love the aesthetics and the music of the game.
TOO EZ. only died because of FPS issues. Fix your game

Cool game, solid experience, loved it!)
Very nice, I like how both you and the enemies get more powerful at the same time! Got to level 52 but at that point I had so many bullets and attack speed that the game started to lag :smile: Had a lot of fun though!
Hey Itch.io LD page neighbour :laughing:
Really cool cyberpunk aesthetic and the game was fun too! On my second run I mostly got more speed and more spawns so things got pretty hectic pretty fast!
