Fun! I just huddled in the corner and fired wildly, because I realized that those enemies' shooting skills were just as bad as mine, lol. By the seventh wave, no monsters appeared. Is this a bug?

ye I forgot to add the victory screen lol 😭. I’ll update the game soon.

Fun game with an interesting use of the limitation. After I finished wave 7 though, the enemies just stopped spawning. If this is the end of your game and not a bug, consider adding a victory screen.

I’ll add a victory screen soon. Thanks for telling me!

I advise everyone to shoot without stopping and not wait for the scrolling. Once I realized this, the game became much easier to play. The game is great.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

When i realised i can spam shoot the game got to another level xD really cool game, enjoyed playing it! 

Developer

in testing we thought that too :-D thanks for the review!

Fun game! I enjoyed spamming my turret. I found that the idea of a turret going back and forth as you shoot was a fun way to add challenge as opposed to being your own enemy. I also wished that the art was consistent, but I understand there's only so much you can do in 72 hrs. Other than that, I quite like the idea, and it felt satisfying to finally aim and kill a slime. Nice work :)

Developer

Thank for playing! I'm glad you had fun! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Patch added! Enjoy faster reloads and QoL improvements :-)

Developer

FYI I will add a patch soon because the reload speed is too low and one enemy is invincible. It'll be here in abt 1 hr

Fun take on the limitation, I somehow missed that you could move around with WASD (apparently I can't read) and was having a rough time. Once I realised that I had a lot more fun, nice work!

I know there is a leveling system, but having select-able upgrades or something after each wave could be a fun addition too.

Developer

Thanks for playing and rating the game! About the upgrades, sadly we ran out of time to implement extra features.
