This is a rougelite FPS that strips things down to a very simple form. You have your weapon in your left hand and you have your wave attack with your right hand. You get random upgrades at the end of levels, but the levels are always consistent so there's room for memorization instead of being solely at the mercy of rng. My first successful run took about 20 minutes. There’s also a difficulty where you just start with 4 cards and never get any more.
Aside from the lowest difficulty, you have constantly decreasing health and killing enemies restores your health. There’s no score aside from the timer, so you can avoid them if your health is full. Most of the weapons are straightforward FPS weapon archetypes, though there is a spread gun made from the head of a girl that also lowers your HP when you reload. I’ve never gotten it to work though. The individual levels are more fun than the boss fights that are pretty boring unfortunately. It’s simple and a bit unpolished, but there’s charm to that. There’s not a whole lot to the game, but it’s good enough that I don’t mind coming back to it. Plus it’s only 5 dollars.
There’s lots of references to contemporary Japanese trends and culture, main girl has Jirai Kei fashion, one of the weapons is a Circle Crasher. Someone with more knowledge of Japanese culture may appreciate this more.
The easiest difficulty is “For CUTE Girls” and disables the constantly ticking health. Perhaps it’s wrong to make easy mode for girls, but perhaps the creator recognizes that cute girls do not deserve death.

I've seen jam games with more thought and polish put into them than this

I kept clipping out of bounds bc I chose the speed upgrades in the game where your health constantly goes down over time, so I would go too fast and phase through the walls, which would then kill me bc I wouldn't have enough time to build up speed and clip back in-bounds. it's entirely possible this game was not tested at all

Weird and short little roguelike about killing everything you see before you run out of life. Killing gives you life. That's the game.
You run fast as fuck killing everything you can and finish the level before dying of ligma.

I got this game because of the weird charming atrstyle. The plot was nonsense.

If the gameplay or art interests you grab it, it's fun.
