Ahh, a floating cat head in a large jar serving as your advisor. Fun times! :D This game have something different with the weapons for a top-down shooter and it's a nice change of pace with a bit of an old-school topdown Contra feel. Overall, I think it need some polish and a bit more work, but it's off to a promising start.
Notes:
- The Forge section needs a complete overhaul. It allows you to select 'everything' on-hand, even after already using it once and it does not use most of it anyway.
- Whatever weapon is equipped does not show up on the main screen.
- No pause button...
- Restarting a game prevented me from being able to shoot a gun, leaving me a sitting duck for the swarms of level 6 enemies at level 1. It took another death before I could do a proper reset and even then the enemy batch was still the ones at level 6.
- Much of screen cannot be seen while moving around, making it difficult to aim and shoot at an enemy target.
