  • I'm a big fan of top-down action games. This was right in line with the genre. Great job on the audio. Right off the bat it sets the mood for the game and encourages the player to keep moving forward. Controlling the character worked perfectly. I didn't have any trouble navigating or interacting with weapons. The variety of weapons and attacks made for a fun and engaging experience as well as adding challenge to moving through the level. Enemies were well placed and spread out. Again creating a challenge, but not overwhelming the player. The enemy attacks do seem to be very large, especially compared to the area of effect of a lot of the weapons. I was only able to make it a couple of levels in during my playtime, so I'm not sure how many there are in total, but I really enjoyed what I experienced. Lots of fun, good job!

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarize your game!
There is only one job offer left at the throwing chair factory, and the applicant pool is way too big for you to have a chance. But any problem can be solved with a gun. And luckily, you have the ability to use ANYTHING as a gun.



Controls:
WASD for 8 directional movement
Left or Right Click to shoot or pick up guns

Instructions:
Kill all of the rival applicants on each stage, and find the red carpet to proceed.
You can only shoot, and cannot drop a gun you've picked up, so it is important to strategize.

Please explain how your game fits the theme.
All problems can be solved with a gun. When it comes to items, the only thing the player is able to do is shoot them, even if it isn't actually a gun. The player can't even drop their weapon until it is ejected from being shot too much. You only have one life (you die in one hit). Plus, there is only one job offer at the throwing chair company, but that's less important.

Really enjoyed this! There wasn't a weapon I didn't like. Giving the hand weapon a bullet for each finger was a nice touch! I don't know if this was intentional or not, but you can leave to the next room/win the game without killing all the enemies in the room.
