The game was fun ! Getting the upgrades was really enjoyable I could see the progression.

However I think it would have been better if I could fire multiple bullets, because when a bullet is bouncing over the walls I could not shoot anymore and I ran into a bug where the bullet had too much speed and escape the scene sooo I was doomed to death since I could not fire anymore.

Other than that, good job ! with the sfx the music and the screenshake it has some juice !

I like this! Really unique idea with the bouncing costing HP and all. There are some balancing issues and personally I think the sprites were a little small for my liking. I found myself hunching inches infront of my screen to see what was going on. 

But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed! Good job!

Nice game, unfortunately both my runs ended because the single bullet the player can shoot ended up bouncing in a weird way through the walls, not sure if its just because I had so much speed (3-4 speed upgrades) or bouncing it in certain ways breaks it, but a bit sad :( I also found the slow upgrades very op, bouncing way too costly, and the bug of enemies spawning outside the level, or rather just spawning in the wrong spot from the top wall or top left corner. I also didn't see any reason to move, and could just stay in the middle, or the top left or top of the level. Cool game though, definitely like the whole bouncing idea, but just think it needs something like piercing and less cost to make it viable.

Thank you for the critic and honesty ! Yeah the speed upgrade sometimes makes the ball bounce in a weird angle and breaks it, I did add piercing at first but my friends really didn't like it because it usually meant the ball kills an enemy but bounces later and inflicts damage, I should have added it anyway, The slow upgrade is definitely op, I think something went wrong with the code because it has a limit normally. Thank you again for the feedback it really helps.

Pretty neat game with a wonderful retro style! The gameplay is quite unique but I do find the core gameplay of the bullet bounce costing health is a bit punishing for me. Other than that, great work!

Thank you ! Most of my friends said the same thing about the bounce but that's what makes it fun ;)

I like the retro style! I've only missed twice and stacked so much slow, that all enemies were basically sitting ducks; several times there weren't even any of them on the field (I'm not counting those who spawned outside the fence, lol). Had to quit at 595 points, the game was getting laggy because of the Horde of the Outcasts. Great game!

Thanks ! didn't really expect anyone reaching that far. but yeah the slow upgrade in retrospect should have a limit.

nice one but can you make the screen a little bigger?
