Give us things to improve, and we'll improve it. We need to know why it's "THE WORST GAME EVER 0/5."
I truthfully didn't know there was an upgrade system because I never died. The only reason I found out about the system is because I died because I became stuck in a corner with a glitch, and was bludgeoned to death. Then I came to find that the only really useful upgrade was the bullet capacity and maybe run speed once. Dodging and baiting is fun for a little bit, but when a horde of eight can soak up seventy-five bullets, a gun upgrade may be in order. Then it comes down to trying to stab a crowd to death with a sharpened toothbrush. I really wouldn't mind an exorbitant price on a two-hit knife or a 1.5x damage machine gun followed by their linear counterparts.
I think you should upgrade this game. After you get most of the upgrades it gets very repetitive. I do think it is a good basic game and I feel like it has the potential to be something more in the future.
There's quite a bit to say about this game. Let's start with the only good things I can think of: The graphics are good and reflect the madness style very well, and the game is smooth, no slow down from what I saw. Unfortunately everything else, can't say I'm impressed. The game play is very tedious and boring, I don't feel like I'm making any progress, just droning on, It's mindless, I found myself just stopping on every screen and holding down "S" or alternating between "S" and "A". It's not very challenging either; The first time I died was on purpose because I got so bored with the tediousness and slow game play (Ironic considering this is "Madness Accelerated"), only then did I find you could upgrade. Not much to upgrade, Starting ammo: I mean you should just start with a set amount anyway, Max ammo: okay makes sense, Max Health: Essential, Run Speed: leaving this out in favor of a different upgrade and adding a sprint button would be more efficient. Also, instead of only being able to upgrade after death, in addition, going to the upgrade screen between stages would be better. The enemies also lack any sort of complexity, much like the game play, mindlessly following and bashing, no enemies with guns also adds to the simplicity (If there are any I haven't seen any yet, and I've died 3 times). Speaking of guns, yours seems greatly under powered compared to the knife, I found myself using the knife more to cut through the enemies, and the gun to push back any heavy amount of enemies. I have to say: Pretty damn disappointing for a front pager. Anyway, try getting some ideas from Arkuni's Madness Death Wish 2, Nexus, any other side scrolling shooter on this site. I'm sure you can greatly improve from this.

I appreciate the review. We may continue to build on this and update it, redo the graphics, controls etc. The reason we did this in a small amount of time is because we wanted to at least have something submitted, AND we wanted to see if we could get SOMETHING done. I'm not sure how it made front page and whatnot, but eh. Thanks for giving us criticism to work with, rather than "It sucks 0/5" or something. It really helps with updates.
