This is super hard but the aesthetic and mood is very consistent! I would like to see a few more mechanics in favor of the player. For example, allowing him to shoot during respawn invulnerability frames. Also the rockets fall really fast and are hard to dodge. Excellent take on the theme with the shock event. Great job!
I personally love the graphics. They're charming in a lofi sorta way. Not a big fan of the take on the theme. 10 seconds is waaaaay too long between bullets; doesn't feel like I have enough choice as a player. I was confused why Baja Blast killed me when it's supposed to be a delicious beverage!
Wow. I'm not kidding, this is probably the most original, refreshing, and fun game I've played so far. Excellent take on the theme, and the music and graphics are awesome (they're LOFI but in a good way ;D). Awesome work guys.
P.S. I don't know if the high scores are pre-set, but that was a fantastic inclusion!
Is this built in MonoGame or SDL? If the former, what command do you use to build the project? Are you using NetBeauty to clean up the dir or have you set "--self-contained false" which is why .NET 6 is required?
@bytinggames I published my game through MonoGame as well, with the self-contained flag set to true. Some people were reporting issues with my build not running even when they had .NET installed (even though they shouldn't need .NET for the self-contained deployment). Was curious if you all had similar issues?

I got 4218 feet and 310 kills. Great job guys!
I spent a good 20 minutes playing this! Great simple fun, has some balance issues (sun fireballs OP), music is nice, overall good vibe and great entry :)
Great entry. Fun and simple game. Nice take on the theme.
Wow this is really special. The graphics are excellent and switching dimensions is a nice take on the theme! Third-person controls kinda fight with you. Otherwise, hard but not unfair. Great job :)
This is a fresh and original concept. I wasn't necessarily a big fan of mixing respawns every 10 seconds and respawns with death. The save system is super cool though and opens the door for fun gameplay! The aesthetics were a little inconsistent at times (looking at you stock intro music LOL). Otherwise, this game is really fun!!!! Great job :D
Hard game with nice floaty controls. Needs a bit of polish, but great idea :D
@phoenixofforce @dod108 did you run LD51.exe/ShotgunDerby.exe? Do you have .NET installed? What platform are you? Any additional information you can give me?
@dod108 @phoenixofforce I think I figured out the issue. If curious, see below. Otherwise download ShotgunDerby1.1.1a.zip and if that doesn't work try ShotgunDerby1.1.1b.zip. Let me know if you have other issues.
Explanation: My build tool wasn't configured correctly and it was leaving out files that would otherwise make the game a standalone executable. The new .zip includes the .NET runtime which is why it's a lot bigger.
@dod108 You should not need .NET installed with ShotgunDerby1.1.1b. I explicitly built the game as a standalone application. At the least, it should run if you reinstall .NET 6, but I'm going to figure out why it won't run by itself in some cases
@phoenixofforce @dod108 Worked with bytinggames (check out his [game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/zombie-rush-3-escalation)) to fix the issue. Looks like there was a localization issue. Try **ShotgunDerby1.2.zip**.
