The look is interesting, and the gameplay has issues, but a good base idea.

I can appreciate a good top down shooter. The window issue made it kind of hard to play, and the audio was real quiet.

Did you try making the itch embed resolution match whatever you set for viewport or window resolution in the Godot project settings? image.png

Reminds me of old flash games era. Points for nostalgia.

Great top down shooting mechanics, although I didn't really see how it ties into the theme

we had the idea that the scientist would inject himself to grow mutations as he killed, but it got kind of lost in translation (big misstep for sure). he still grows the mutation, but there is no indication of it for the player to notice (it happens after you kill a certain number of people). thank you for playing and the feedback :3

I like your take on the hotline miami style genre. I liked the grungy world you created. Would have loved some more audio feedback and it was difficult to see the enemies off screen and react in time. Great job!

the missing audio feedback was def a huge missing feature in hindsight. i forgot to add controls to the description, but you can zoom on the mouse wheel to hopefully help with the camera issues. thank you for playing and for the feedback :3
