Cool idea. Very addictive. Missing your shots is really detrimental in this game. You really need to try not to be your own worst enemy haha. If I had to give one suggestion though: make it so the mouse is temporarily disabled when the perk menu shows up. I've accidentally closed it immediately a few times because I was too busy shooting.

Really cool idea, I had a lot of fun! I kept accidently choosing an upgrade as it popped up when I was trying to shoot and I didn't have enough time to react. But other than that I don't really have any complaints, it's a bit fast and sometime difficult to track everything but I enjoyed the chaos of it.

ReplicateInteresting concept for the projectiles when you miss. I don't know if there was a power-up for stronger bullets, but faster fire rate is something I avoided at all times because of this system haha

SHINSEI PROJECT: COLLAPSENice game! It was hard to avoid all of your own projectiles after a while if you missed, but it felt still very good to play, and it is also a good take on the theme, overall good work!

Building and ZombiesIt's very addictive, and it's hard to stop playing. It's a good game. However, it might be a good idea to avoid moving the background too much when moving, as it can be confusing. Additionally, it might be helpful to highlight the player's projectiles with a different color, as I didn't always understand where they came from.
Seeing a twinstick shooter game made me instantly rapid fire my bullets, which got me killed faster than I could process what was going on. After a couple of tries, I realized its best to shoot the enemies slowly, take some time to aim and plan the shots and then when I expanded the loopy arena, I could fulfil my wildest twinstick shooter rapid fire dreams. It's an interesting spin (hehe) on the concept and I learned to enjoy it for what it was. Well done!

UfiNice unique twist on the vampire survivors style game. Fun but I found it very hard not to shoot myself in the back haha

Nova LooperI feel like at least in the beginning the bullets could be a bit slower. It was kind of hard to get into the rythm. But it felt so cool to go from carefully taking out a few individual enemies to just spraying and trying to dodge my own bullets. Good job!

Limiting FactorI am stuck in a bullet hell of my own creation...that was some nice and juicy feedback, I had to be really careful and couldn't blast away, haha. Not sure what the 1-2-3 things on the top right corner were. Also, sometimes the enemies would damage me and sometimes just push me, so not sure what was going on there. But I enjoyed it, very interesting use of theme.

Chicken Processing UnitCool idea to loop your own bullets! That way you can't just spam bullets

Boom Box BattleNot rating because I couldn't really get it going as my game was lagging hard - doesn't seem like others are having this problem though so maybe it's time for me to buy a new PC?

In The LoopGood game, good implementation! I liked the concept of the bullets going warping around and damaging you. I think the game could use a bit more balancing, but overall, it’s a good game!

Space MunchiesCool game, you can kill yourself with your own bullets! My game is also based on this ^-^
