Hi...a nice shooting game! The background music ls nice, too!  The same problem: "strafe" keys don't work. 

Any suggestion? Yes! I hear that AppGameKit is a very useful tool. I look forward to more interesting games. Sure!

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure why the strafe key don't work. I've not been able to replicate the bug on any of my computers.

Since this game was made for a game jam almost two years ago, I don't have much time to look into it.

Entertaining. Although the "strafe" never worked for me.

That's weird. Maybe there is a limit to how many key that can be pressed simultaneous on your keyboard?

The music is really good, and the shooting sound seems to blend in really well with it.

Good game, I'm not the best at endless shooters so I didn't get very far. I found the tracking bugs hard to deal with as I couldn't run away and shoot back at them very well.

I can see why Bob the Wizard has Entomophobia

Thank you for the feedback.

I didn't have much time to balance the game so I guess it can be difficult if you don't know where and when the enemies will appear. If you start missing the tracking bugs you're pretty much done for.
