Neon Shooter
A downloadable game for Windows
Neon Shooter is an exciting shooting game, that takes place in a distant future in a dystopian downtown, where the government suppress the people with armed robots. The main character is a cyborg called Bob. He works for one of the military suppliers to an upgrade module robot, but he has his own agenda, he wants to destroy the military regime. His goal is to get to the robot factory in the end of the street, and to defeat the factory leaders and destroy the production line. This will weaken the military market and therefore weaken the government, to spark a revolution among the people.
To beat the enemies you have to use guns with two different colors. If you hit an enemy with the wrong color, the enemy gets a power-up. The color mechanism is important to learn during the game, to be able to win.

The games best core strenght is how easy it is to pick up and to get playing right away. It immediately creates flow and feels good.
The game also does a good job explaining the controls, what just happened when I picked a certain thing up, and so on. It guides the player perfectly.
You could have been more effective with the stun ability. I tried it sometimes and absolutely hated using it because it stuns me myself for a short moment when launching it - making me actually weaker rather than stronger in fights where I really wanted to use it (when many enemies are around). I think it should really activate instantly and without drawbacks.
You should also focus more on getting the AI to work flawlessly. When many enemies are around, it happens quite often that a bunch of enemies decide to never attack again. They just give up (may be wise, on the other hand :-)
Overall, an incredible top down shooter!
