Really solid game, my recent favorite actually. some issues are that the sprite of characters changes to the default one when a dialogue starts and that teh save isn't visible when you go to the menu. Its also a biy hard to experiment because of the limited levels. maybe there can be an area where u can just do waves and then extract? Also the game likes to crash

My feelings on this are mixed. The auto-aim and auto-fire for both guns and abilities make the gameplay awfully dry. It's really only difficult before you get any upgrades; after that it's basically just running in a circle as you get faster and stronger over the course of the wave. A mode where you can manually use abilities and fire would be more engaging.

It could probably use more of a tutorial, too. It took me a couple of waves to figure everything out (not even everything; I'm still not sure what gaining corruption actually does) and I can see those with less patience than me getting frustrated by the lack of guidance or never figuring out that you need to pick up the puddles, check your upgrade tank after every wave, equip both guns &c. I'd also recommend removing a step from the upgrade process and just giving you one straight from the tank; if you forget to empty your inventory of all the alien parts you can end up picking it up but not getting it and the whole 'pick up this item, register it on your hotbar, then use it, then upgrade from the deploy menu' process could stand to be streamlined anyway.

Damn, the paperdoll is really cute but the more realistic close-up portraits and cgs just put me off. They are of very good quality of course but I feel like they don't fit in at all. I think the least mean way to put it is that they are tasteless. And I mean so much that I felt the need to comment about it and I almost never do that. Because I liked everything except these portraits/cgs!
Yeah, I don't want to criticize someone who's going with real art too much but I did find the stark contrast between the cute style of the paper doll and the more realistic but goofy-looking close up CGs to be...tasteless -is- probably the nicest word for it. The impressions they give off are fighting each other.

For anyone having trouble with the difficulty: if you can make it through one wave then you can go to the water cooler-looking tank and get an upgrade. You have to equip and then use it and once you've done that you can use the upgrade from the deployment menu. Upgrade rate of fire ASAP and then damage. Once you get a second gun, make sure to equip that too. At this point you should be killing things fairly easily.

Walk over the puddles. That's the currency of the game and it gives you mutations (combat upgrades) faster. Never choose the ones that slow you down if you can help it; go for the ones that summon something. It's one of those games where all the difficulty is frontloaded.

Literally Femboy Survival space edition
And worse. The other game wasn't the end all be all of these kinds of games but at the very least you started the game with your fucking basic weapon equipped (very important if you're gonna be fighting things that wanna murderfuck you) and it didn't try to jumpscare you with extreme closeups of people that escaped out of a budget modeling agency.
