last boss guide:
bombs level 10
orbs level 10
use orbs to absorb bullets, bombs will eventually kill it.

if u take hits it feels like it lets u do more damage, but you get damaged too. i was on my last life so i just tanked hits from time to time up to 3% slime and spent 15 minutes killing it.

final score 42899360
10/10 game

developer response: Its quite hard to avoid getting oozed with the boss alive with the 3 minions also throwing ooze. If you have 3 extra credits to spare, you can always crash into those 3 minions and remove them, then you can slowly grind the main boss with ease.

4.3M on my second try, if the upgrades say what they do i can prob have an strat that hits 10M eazy and sadly it takes a lot of time for 1 run so i cant really go for improving myself a lot
and for some reason everytime i respawn the site just crashes so i cant use respawning for more score.

lowkey one of the best shooters that ive had played in forever, i had so much fun for this bullet hell and maxing rockets really makes you ultra strong (except the laggy stages)

this has talent and i love it 9/10

54130 was my score. I agree with some comments that this feels like a mobile game, there are some mobile games out there with a similar gameplay loop, the very slim vertical screen also adds to this effect, but I'm not saying it as a negative. Mobile games exist, they can be fun or they can be crap. This is OK. It's not something I'm likely to return to very often. Given this website is primarily incremental games, the first thing I'm thinking of is how you could inject incremental elements into it, permanent upgrades, a prestige system, progression, things like that. But as it is, it's a fine game to play a little bit when you want something that's not too demanding, a little bit challenging, but also you're not looking to dedicate a half-hour to it. That said, that does sound like something that might have a better life on mobile than on browser.

I really like the concept! The gameplay is fun, I like the variety of the weapons, it feels like several have their own unique utility. If I could offer a handful of criticisms, I think having to clear an entire stage for an upgrade to the starting bonus is a little slow, and it makes an otherwise fun gameplay loop into a looooong gameplay loop. I also think that the lock-on weapon feels A Lot stronger than the rest of the weapons. Also, not sure if I just couldn't find the pause button, but I couldn't pause the game, which makes things difficult when runs are so long. Really hoping you continue to update this though, it's very promising.
