Not bad! First run was a bit weird for me, I guess I spawned without a weapon or something, I wasn't able to shoot at all. Wandered off the map and fell forever, nearly called it there. Tried again, and then it went great. I think it'd benefit a lot from a bit more visual clarity in drops - everything being some variety of disk or sphere makes it hard to pick things out from the crowd.

A pretty fun Vampire Survivors-like. The mechanic meshed pretty well with the theme, I also did a "sort your inventory resident-evil style" type game. I will say that it felt a *little* visually noisy, and sometimes the mouse aiming was janky. But otherwise, it was quite good!

It was interesting in its style and gameplay although i think the game could have reflected the jam theme a bit more, the neon was fun but i would have liked the game if there was more visual contrast and much easier to understand bullets/enemies/powerups etc. cool entry thanks for taking the time to make it

Fun game. I was having issues with the crosshairs staying visible after each leveling screen.

It take me a little time to figure out what I can pick and what I have to avoid. Good level's aesthetic, Good player design. Good music and sound. Don't like green on purple personnaly for the menu but colors choices remind personnal.

@devez I reposted the download link don't know why it disappeared 😅 @nicoli-gradinar Thanks! This is my first time using unreal and gotta say was blown away the whole time by how things look out of the box

Fun game! I think the character being in a pixel aesthetic was kinda out of place but everything else was great!

Really fun 'neon survivors' game! 😄 The "limited space" weapon bag was a pretty good find! Had good fun running around, and grabbing stuff - the little neon balls were the only things that really stood in my way (and they can't be killed?)

Really neat combo! Good job! 👍

Addictive top down shooter. There is everything here: endless enemies, levelling up and submachine guns. I liked it very much.

Very nice game, the gameplay has an awesome feeling! I have to say the artstyle is great because we got a similar idea lol

Neat game! the neon environment is pretty nice, definitely took a minute to get used to the leveling and upgrading system. Only real constructive criticisms I have, is I think the color of the players neon orbs are too close to the enemies and it made the already hectic battlefield a bit harder to parse. Overall, fun game, good feel, great entry!
