fun, good art and sound. music is meh.
gameplay loop is bland.
overall, if you added upgrades and cleaned up the story a bit it could be awesome

Thanks for the feedback, I plan on continuing to fix and add things.
i want to like this game but god dammit the snipers are too hard to dodge, i really like the concept and the gameplay is (mostly) fun, but i can't win 2 days in a row because it goes from easy to fuck you in 2 seconds.
would you add some boss at the end? or the whole city divided into difficulty areas, as in the decizion series - 3rd part best
VerilyFine responds:
The game already has a boss at the end.
I wanted the different districts to be chosen based on a strategy of taking down the city, not because one is much easier/harder. Currently the difficulty scales with how much health the city has collectively.
I'll have to check out that series, thanks.
Sometimes the foxes do this really fun thing where they all simultaneously spawn in a perfect line and shower you with an undodgeable array of shotgun and rifles. The game is basically hold mouse button at things until they break. I mean its ok, fun for a minute until you realize to win you have to mindlessly break every object in sight and crawl forwards as to not accidentally spawn more than a couple shotgunners. Also the music hurts my ears

That's too bad that you didn't seem to enjoy it. I understand your gripes, and thanks for the feedback, but I do think some of them are exaggerated.
If a lot of foxes appear on screen and start aiming at once, it's best to keep your movement controlled and bait them to attacking one of the sides by sticking to them as you progress. People have said there are too many guns ATM so I will be changing that.
I set a low bar on the necessary tasks to win so that people of many skill levels would still be able to enjoy beating it, it just takes longer. But if people enjoy the combat challenge, they are free to walk forward and spawn as much as they desire, and complete it faster.
I don't believe it is mindlessly breaking objects because of the egg laying mechanic. To maximize DPS you focus on easier targets that you can hit while staying still and laying eggs. This combines with the combat which requires movement, yet to maximize DPS, you must take the risk of laying eggs when you can, and choose when the best time to take that risk is. I'm not going to argue it isn't a simple game, it is, and I chose to keep it simple, but it is more than point and click.
I'll put music volume controls on my to do list.
it good game but one hit start over in boss level no difficulty modes this hell please add three hp please, story is good. please fix it

I just added an option to set your own HP in the Main Menu. Thanks for the feedback!
