it feels wonky the music is loud and annoying it doesn't have instructions no story the music is repetitive and the camera shakes to much when shooting or getting hurt everything is obnoxious but you have a good idea going on fix these problems and might give it a better rating.

Hi!
What do think would require instructions?
Music tracks are selected randomly when the level starts. Did you get the same track too many often? Or is it just that you dislike this kind of music?
I did wanted to create some sense of gunfight confusion, using the obnoxious music, no hud, overlapping text and all that together. This is a free game so I went all the way to experiment with stuff :)
Thanks for playing, your comments are useful!
It's quite apparent that this game drew a lot of inspiration from Hotline Miami, it did however miss what made that game so enjoyable: Highly responsible controls, a surprisingly deep (alebit cheesy) story and, in particular, an incredibly fast and score attack-y gameplay where every second, every slightest move was important and made the difference between life and death.
In this game on the other hand... well, firstly your character is quite slow, secondly there is nothing to keep you on your toes seeing how the enemies are rather passive up until they spot you, and thirdly, and most importantly - you die in many, many shots (and so do the enemies) - it feels not like a gunfight but rather like throwing rubbers at one another hoping to hit the other person's nose.
On a side note - according to the game's description we're playing as a hitman of sorts, something's telling me a professional killer wouldn't stroll around shouting insults at his targets

Hi! Yes HM is a game I love and was indeed the main inspiration for this little game. I just want to point out that I didn't miss what made HM great, I just didn't see the point of photocopying it! I like to say that I "Vlambeer-ed" it :)
Confused about your last point. Your character only comments about its health. The targets are the ones shouting at you.
Thanks for playing and leaving a comment :)
it's like hotline miami but terrible
GraveDangerGames responds:
Hehe, ok.
It takes several minutes to insult you before telling you how to even pick up a weapon.
GraveDangerGames responds:
It's the best tutorial I've ever written.
Music is the worst. Recoil from taking damage ruins the game, the targets are too thin to really consider anything but luck when trying to aim
