Nice game. Managed to survive the 1min on the first go. 🤔

Wow, nice job. I tried to make it hard enough for the first try, but manageable to win on the second or third try.

I'm trying to draw a cat with my trail of blood but these monsters keep making me mess up :(

Good entry! I managed to win with all three guns. Shotgun op! I appreciate whoever gave me their congratulations :)

It's the indian girl meme, that was funny asf when i implemented it 😁. Yep, shotgun is "canonical" weapon from all arcade shooters, that's why it's always OP. Good job mate!

I loved the sound design! The rhythmic shooting is very satisfying.

Developer

Thank you! Yep, the whole point was to make something satisfying yet challenging, just what Serious Sam is.
