Your game didn't fail to amuse me. As soon as I started the game I was in love with the main menu, the effects look so cool. Then the game itself is simple and great. I liked the recoil of the enemies when shot. The music is another good part of your game. Also the red effect when enemy attacks is amazing. It would have been better if you added screen shake effect for shooting as well and also a game over screen would be great. 

I really enjoyed your game.

It turned out simple but pretty fun to play, especially with the scaling difficulty. The only bug that bothered me was A and D being inverted, so I was forced to play with the arrow keys (and I’m a certified arrow-key hater).

This was fun. I love these style of games - you just jump in and go. I featured your game today:) Keep up the great work.

Hey Nate i was wondering, would you be open to showcase take control again?

I am making a new version of it and would be very grateful if you could showcase it on your YouTube channel

Submitted

you know I would. Way cool game, sir. Hit me up on Discord https://discord.gg/3UE6jJYp

Tried the game and I liked the retro style. Even though W and A keys are swapped, I was able to play properly using the arrow keys. Good job!

Submitted

a and d are swapped... so I got confused at first, but luckily the arrow buttons are fine. It's just weird to use the space bar to dash while using the arrows to control. Nice gaming concept! The idea of taking back control is creative.

I always enjoy playing retro pixel art games. Especially if it’s a shooter. One thing I highly recommend you do after the voting ends is that you fix the WASD controls. The A and D buttons are swapped. Great game though!

Submitted

It's a nice little game...I quite enjoed it :)

I dont know if you are aware but the wasd movement is kinda broken :( when I pressed a I went right intead of left vise versa for the d key :( but regardless, it is a good take on the theme :)

Developer

Thanks for letting me know i will make sure to fix it
Btw please rate my game

Great job, fun take on the formula. I liked the attention to detail with the shell casing and even adding them as an upgrade option to do damage. 

Developer

Thanks for the feed back
The shell casing was a little bit difficult to create since i wanted it to fly at different spots near the gun but i was able to figure it out.

Thanks for playing my game

Fun game enjoyed playing it the controls were a bit off for me like the WASD controls a and d worked backwards and if you are using the arrow keys and mouse its hard to get to the spacebar for dash still really fun to play just took a few tries to get used to the backwards WASD as I wanted to use the dash great work would love if you could check out my game too

Developer(+1)
