Wow! This game is insane! The gameplay and the controls feels so good. The impacts, the game feel is on spot. There are a good amount of weapons for different playstyles, I really don't have negatives about this game, the only thing would be that I don't know why it has that resolution it would look neat on wide screen 16:9 that is the standard. But besides that, great work! I hope to see more updates

thank you! i'll look into making use of the sides of the screen
the game's currently square so you can see the same distance in any direction, but i see no reason why i couldn't put some UI to the sides

very nice game.

#

Just hate that e restarts the game. I press it accidentally trying to interact with something.

#

The gameplay and art is awesome

#

The boss is very hard. I gave up after the 3rd try
