Cellfish

Entspannendes kleines Horde Survival mit tollem Sound- und Gegnerdesign Relaxing little Horde Survival with great Sound and Enemy Design.

why is it so hard :(

This is probably one of the best (if not the best) "action rogue-like" I've played. Most games in the genre just have swarms of enemies that may have different sprites but functionally are all the same; they either move in a line at you or they hang back and fire some ranged projectile at you. That's basically 99% of rogue-likes and its pretty boring. Cellfish actually has a variety of enemies that engage in different ways and force you to adapt. It also does an excellent job with both visual and audio cues for stuff like dash cooldowns or other in game timers. Everything about this game seems designed thoughtfully and well executed. Each ship functions in a different way and forces a different playstyle; I had one ship with a strong recoil on its shot that I would use to help me maneuver and one that would lay mines behind you which required serious mental adjustment (especially when most enemies come at you head on). I've played Vampire Survivors, Boneraiser Minions, Slime 3k, and probably more I can't remember right now. Cellfish and Halls of Torment are on top in terms of enemy design and to me that makes for more engaging gameplay.
