For a bullet hell survivor game this was one of the more fun ones! Spamming bullet with the ratatat felt OP but satisfying nonetheless. I'd like to see more varied upgrades as you progress, but may have been a time/scope situation. Also a note on the sound - it started to stack when killing multiple mobs simultaneously, for an overall inconsistent volume, just be aware of this when designing your sound. But nice entry overall!
Hey, appreciate the feedback! The audio was definitely on the list to fix. You are correct with scope. We had planned to do more of a full shop where you spend the mutagen fuel for different upgrades.
Thanks for playing!
Really enjoyed this! The ratatat was super fun and I loved all the personality you put into it.
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed your experience with our game!
Very fun. Loved the weapons. The ratatatat weapon was extra fun and hitting enemies was very fun. I liked the sfx for for getting hit too. More upgrades as the game progressed would have been nice.
We really wanted to add a grenade launcher but ran out of time.
Nice game, very humorous choices (and theme appropriate) choice of weapons. The art is also cohesive with the humor theme.
Shooting feels satisfying too. Nice work.
The gun shooting was satisfying and I like taking down big groups of enemies with overpowered guns!
Fun game! The accuracy of the weapons and the attack hitboxes feel very good. Some more upgrades would be great for alter on. In general good work.
Yes!!! We wanted to introduce a whole elemental mutation enhancement system for the weapons that just didn't make the cut. We ended up having to scale back quite a bit. Thanks for your feedback!
This game is awesome! I love the art style, its very charming and the hit effects, shooting and all that are literally perfect imo. Really solid game!
For feedback id say it was a little counter intuitive when having to press exit sometimes like when choosing something. And I wish the mutations were more mutation themed.
Super fun game though, and I really really like the art and the way they were implemented with animations.
Thank you so much!!!
As for the theme, the weapons themselves were mutated to fire projectiles. The enemies were combinations of lab test plants and animals that mutated due to Larry's experiments in the mutation machine . We had grandiose plans for the mutations the player underwent that would effect the weapons etc... but time was not on our side.
I am very glad that you had a good experience!!!
Sorry I should have been more specific, I meant the weapon effects. The guns themselves were awesome haha. But yes, totally understand.
Thank you for the feedback. Glad that you enjoyed the game.
