The AI is well done in this game, and and love that you used actual voice clips of the bois. and programmer humor. I don't think it's the most original idea though, as it's basically geometry wars + pals, but on all other points this is a solid entry.
really fun game, runned perfectly fine on my machine ... finally the 4090 payed of! xD idk if we allowed to use ironmouse songs n stuff tho ^^ but had rly fun, i wish i would have t posed at the winning screen xD
Damn why didn't I think of that? :p - that would have been super funny XD.
Pretty silly concept for a twin stick shooter! Lagged pretty bad on my machine though.
I'm really sorry about that, I wanted to add graphics options to individually change turn post processing effects on/off - but towards the end I was so tired, I skipped it entirely :/
I made sure to use object pooling, light baking, static batching and other tricks wherever possible in the short time I had to ensure performance hit is kept at minimum, but the image effects are really heavy in itself too.
This was fun, I liked the dialogs and the boss fight. Good job!
Thank you :)
What in the mom-from-binding-of-isaac! Really great boss fight and just a good experience overall. Joey's yell is so funny xD
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
GIANT IRONMOUSE LETSGO
XD
held back by not having webgl support.
I tried - but WebGL build stripped a lot of shaders (post processing mostly) and after including them, crashed my browser trying to load them :p
Thanks for playing tho :)
This is amazing! My favorite thing about this game is the funny dialogue lines you added. This is overall a really well made game!
Thanks, took me half a day to find funny lines for the bois XD
This is a pretty well made game in this genre. I liked the giant Ironmouse boss fight idea.
Glad you liked it :)
Loved the post processing and all of the visuals! Pretty good game!
Thanks for playing :D
Have a really fun time and the boy's voices give me a good laugh, amazing game ^^
Glad you liked it- makes the half day I spent scouring soundboards, clips and streams worth it :p
Okay, so this is absolutely an underrated gem that I found by going through least rated games.
I love the game feel, the gun feels super good to use, love the sound, love the game feel, great use of the models too - makes for a really fun stylised game.
The waves feel good to play, and we get giant Mousey as the boss fight? Love it. Very very fun game that I immediately shared on discord as I think it's criminal for this to sit at only 4 ratings.
The only concern I have is - I think that the OST used for the boss battle could be an issue unless you have permission to use it? Great game tho, short but I loved playing it
Thanks for playing - I do understand your concern, it was a last minute addition like a "wouldn't it be cool" kinda thing, I've mentioned that the song is picked from youtube.com in credits on both itch page and the build - I hope this won't be an issue :/
Love the effects in this one. The lighting, vfx and sounds all mesh together to make it satisfying to shoot and especially use the special.
Boss fight at the end was great too, with telegraphs and all.
glad you liked it :)
Mouse was boosted she was Iron after all !!
Monke win ooohhh oohhh aahhh ahhh God Gamer ooohhh ooohh aaahh ahhh !!!
This game is BOOSTED (in a good way)
Nothing like fighting alongside your mates against a devil who wishes to annoy you! Great entry, easily one of my favorites!
Itch bugged out on me and made me spam the same comment a bunch, my fault T-T
No problem about the itch spam :) Thanks for playing.
