Got it after a review (Errantsignal I think).. it's fun, very fun. The enemies move with momentum and can overshoot you and they bounce in 3D so they can go over your head - good twists on "arena shooter" gameplay. I was looking for a twitch-fix coming from playing Tremulous and it does well. Seems to be a lack of bunny-hopping for extended quick movement (afaik) but still good fun.

What'd you think of the game?

It's a good couple hours of solid fun. I don't think I've ever survived for more than 2 mins.

I heard you can beat the game, maybe?
Edit: apparently world record is still under 15 minutes.. reminds me of http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/459702 Avoison 2!

I just learned you can shotgun jump from watching the gameplay trailer, interesting

Getting the achievement is probably what people are aiming for . --> survive 500 seconds.

so far managed to get to ~250 seconds and i 'm pretty sure i'll never reach that 500 seconds lol.

Heh.. it is difficult. The AI is tricky, it doesn't just follow in a straight line, has to turn.
I don't like how new things can spawn and you dont' know where they are

yes exactly. i'm sure it's just because im bad and there are ways of consistently playing well, but it just felt extremely unfair to me when i played it. my experience playing it was getting swarmed by enemies i didnt see and dying.

also tbh it was an impulse purchase and after seeing the screens i was expecting something more like quake, not a flat arena.

I checked out screenshots and bought it at 3$ because the aesthetic compelled me to.

I might stream it later

Yeah you have to look around a lot but it's very difficult, the enemies can move fast and the spawner towers can come up out of nowhere. Apparently there's a lot of 3D sound so it's best with 3D headphone.. I'm just playing on laptop so no dice.

Btw you can rocketjump by shotgun+jump at ground.. gives you good airtime and potentially you can dodge things. It's super physics-movement-read-lots-of-ai-movement at once

Cool. Have you played with shotgun-jumping?

Just flick the mouse to look straight down, then left click + jump. It's great if you hear or know enemies are right behind you to give you a speed boost and GTFO.
I find shooting the towers down mid air very satisfying - fun to defy gravity

Huge protip: increase your FOV in the settings to 120 to see around you more.
5 second highscore gain in 3 tries
Also, damn the spider makes a lot of babies if you dont kill it
