Wow great game. I really like when the music drops at the same time a dragon spawns !
Great work on this game. The game is fun and the music really enhances the experience
we got Randy finishing a game before GTA VI
Honestly a cool game, also hype for Randy finishing something :,)
Takes a while to start up on Arch and after that is basically unusable if running with
prime-runw/ wine. Couldn’t get it past title screen and then had to kill it from a tty because entire session became unusable. Doesn’t run via Proton either. Wish could try it ;cObligatory works on my machine. Also on arch, but using bottles instead of rawdogging wine.
Great game, damn annoyed that the second I got #1 someone else beat me. 😂
The snake/serpent is really easy to cheese if you figure out where it spawns.
Also please fix resolution issues for monitors with a larger resolution than 1080p.
Can't wait for full release!
Really fun!
In my opinion the difficulty jumps a bit too abruptly after the snake spawns at 120 seconds though
Both Chrome and Windows are flagging a virus
Did Randy just complete a game? Big ups. A <3 you here. (And the rest of the team)
Saw the first 20 seconds of the video. Immediately grabbed this game and tried to run it. It attempted to run for a good 3 minutes before loosing context. A shame since it looks really cool. Running on archlinux.

A quick google should give you the solution
Updated mesa and vulkan to the latest version. Same result.
Having lots of fun playing, looking forward to climbing to that top 10!
Keep doing what you doin, baby gal 💋
This is already quite fun in its current form, I think it's a good idea to turn this into a full steam release.
The surprise at 120 was awesome.
I'm sure you already have ideas on how to level up this prototype, but improving upon the upgrade mechanic, and potentially giving some element of player choice (choose between offense vs. defense) could be fun.
