SHPR

When I first stumbled across this game I was drawn in by the simplistic art style and roguelite elements, however SHPR has a mighty few flaws that I can definitely see being deal breakers if they remain unaddressed by the games official release. For starters I would like to talk about what I enjoy with the game. I adore the simplistic styling the game is going for, and some of the concepts demonstrated in the games current version have a lot of potential. I love the concept of a more simplistic and streamlined roguelite; but in spite of that, the game possesses some blaring issues that make it a bit difficult to enjoy in its current state. The games greatest issue is the pacing, it is far too slow. At the end of each round you alternate from the shop and the upgrade menu, both of which contain issues. The shop menu is perhaps a bit too streamlined with 3 separate upgrades to choose from being the shops only contents, one you purchase an upgrade you are able to buy a new one for a higher price; however, the shop lack the ability to re-roll, which isn't a deal breaker, but the difficulty to obtain more upgrades caused by the insufficient currency gain in between turns makes this all the more punishing. The upgrade menu isn't as bad, but it requires more currency to upgrade an existing equipment than to purchase a new one from the shop, making it very unappealing to upgrade. And when faced with the alternative choice to gain an extra currency, it becomes an even more unappealing deal. Speaking of currency, the rate at which you are able to gain it is far too slow. You gain 1 currency at the end of each round, and a bonus 1 currency if you skip an upgrade. This makes it difficult to gain more upgrades, and adds to the overall sluggish feel of the game, which is the opposite of what I desire from a sleek roguelite such as this. It doesn't take long to discover that a majority of the upgrades are rather underwhelming, Some upgrades can even be detrimental, such as machine gun, which lowers your already low damage to make your projectile feel more like foam darts. The damage taken is too punishing for the low damage that you deal to enemies. You can really feel the detriment of the low damage you deal to enemies after just a little bit of gameplay. The enemy spawn rate is also quite slow, when combined with the low damage dealt the game feels way too slow in pacing. Despite all of my gripes with the game I do truly believe that this game can become something great! I love the concept, but the pacing is far too slow, and the upgrades are weak and underwhelming. If these issues are addressed the game could be something really fun to play! (one bonus and very unimportant comment: I believe that the game may benefit from vector graphics as opposed to the pixelated style it currently uses. Some of the icons use such high pixel counts that it almost looks like it's trying to look like a vector. This is likely just down to personal preference however)

Gud game

This game has an interesting game balance and I loved it. Since machine gun and assault gun literally don't hit damage to enemies, sniper and main weapon makes damage. I think if you choose sniper or make main weapon stronger, you love this game. Also this game's movement is fun. I love the micro design of the game. But macro design should be changed. Progressing level by level logic is getting older and any indie game should not using this. I hope you will continue to do great games. Good try!

is a small game, quiet interesting but it will need much more improvements

A bit of kiting mobs simulator. Little slow to start, but with perks does get more interesting. Definitely worth a few bucks.

I personally enjoyed the game and would recommend it to other, the game play style is good, with a few things that will probably be changed to make the experience more enjoyable, but overall I would say it was a fun game for what it is now.

cant recommend this game as the pacing is slow, the mods are boring, the "store" system is one of the worst i've seen and its bland to look at. no charm what so ever.

SHPR is a great game if you like minamilistic arcade games PRO's - good variety of items and more gets edited on a frequent basis - DEV listens too the community and makes amazing changes too it CONS - BALANCING tends too be lacking sometimes one item is defining the run easy and some runs make it impossible leaving some items chosen as garbage and some being chosen as amazing overall great game. and goood to hear dev is working on the balancing issue
