Whoa that was deceptively rich! VERY cool entry, i love the escalating chaos of the systems interacting. Im not sure ive ever seen negative recoil but it got so high that every time i shot i blasted forwards much faster than my bullets. Really fun, and very on theme. Hope you had fun jammin!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! I sure had fun making it!
This was really fun! The visual feedback on all the upgrades was really good, and it was just great running around seeing bullets flying everywhere! I just went for every pill, but I wonder if there might be a way to signal what a pill will do, to add a bit more incentive for decision making in the game, although that could really change the pace, which was something I liked here. Great work!
Had a lot of fun with the game play constantly changing depending on what I picked up at the time. I really liked all of the different faces your character would make when running through a cloud of pills
The chaining of side effects made was really cool. I got negative recoil so the player just followed my cursor, which was actually pretty funny to see.
my fav way to play, with enough recoil you dont have to use keyboard lol
Had a lot of sun with this one! Cool variety of effects, I got to a boss and then died right after!
A nice game. I’m amazed it was built in just 10 days! A few minor points could be improved, such as using icons or similar to make the stats changes more readable. That said, I had a lot of fun and some builds result in different gameplay styles. In particular, I played a game where I ended up with double-digit recoil, which was great fun.
Dude!! This game is what made my dayyyyy!! It's deceptively simple, yet has so much variety! Even after defeating the boss, the waves were not over!! Great game. Steam-worthy!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
The pharmaceutical industry must’ve made a fortune with this game! I liked it , it’s fun and original.
Haha, thanks! GlaD you liked it!
This was fun. Just pure action. It starts off simple and then turns into a full mess of bullets and pills; very rock and roll. I got so tiny at one point I could barely even see myself, but it was still a good time lol. Nice enemy variety too, and I liked the little fade-up text for the effects, it made the chaos a bit easier to follow.
glad you likes it! I knew it could get messy - to small character, too high recoil - but i guessed it can be fun
Fun game, i adore the programmer art so cute :)
thanks!
new binding of isaac update is crazy
ahahah, thanks, it was definetly an inspiration
nice game with some nice variation/looks of enemys and the pill design was great. Because the mouse wasn't locked to the screen I clicked outside of the game window and almost changed the internet page.
So fun! Once i got to wave 25ish i became an unstoppable bullet machine xD beat the wave 45 boss guy and died at the start of 46 lol The art is insanely cute
Glad you liked it!
Fun game. Nice take on the theme. Would have been better with sounds but good job!
You know what? Good fun game! Want some pew pew sounds and could do with being a bit harder but I very much enjoyed it. Well done for the theme as well :)
Really enjoyed the gameplay! It was fun and pretty chaotic just before I died in the 30th wave.
It's a shame that there are no sound effect or music.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree, I should have added music and effects, but didnt have enough time :(
