bug report: when it time for the shop, we just vanished and cant move (the sounds still going) (after i killed a big one (i killed the 3 spawn instanly))
The shop comes every 10 rounds, so at wave 10, 20, 30,... not 15. And yea this bug exists, I think because the game is in browser. In Steam it shouldn't bug.
The perks are really fun! I came up with an idea for another mod, it makes you able to dodge through enemies and projectiles, but makes the recharge half as long.
I like your idea, but I'm not completely sure what you mean. So, you can dash through enemies and their projectiles, but you dash reload time is twice as long?
also, I have an idea for how at least some of the inventory could work:
what if, for things like scopes, all three effects are active (but you start with only like 1 slot, so a passive upgrade could give you extra scope slots for more bonuses)
Due to how the game was written, this would be very difficult to implement and would take a lot of work, so I'm focusing on other content at the moment. These ideas are all super cool and inspiring though :)
idea: for the character, what if there were different headbands that changed your dash? (and maybe there could be different chips or something for the turret to change it's ai, that could be cool)
diffrend characters can be diffrend colors like green or light blue with diffrend starting wepons and the diffrend macanics can be with the diffrend turets. What if you made a support turret that if you shot through it the bullets get stonger or if you dash through it you get a shield or someting like that
Hey! I think these ideas are great, and I'll consider them for future updates. Customising the turret to fit your playstyle is an awesome idea too. Really appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing :D
I think you mean that projectiles set off the ice mines. This was intentional, as otherwise, the ice mines wouldn't go off as frequently. Thank you for the feedback, though, and thanks for playing.
Hey, thanks for the bug report! This bug has existed for a while, and I'm trying to fix it, my biggest issue is that I can't reliably recreate it. If this happens more often to you and you find a pattern, feel free to let me know. Thanks for playing :)
I have tried to recreate the bug and instead of deleting one item when picking up the other I was able to pick up one of the two with the image of the item staying then when i tried to pick it up it did not appear when picking it up.
This may not be related to picking it up at the same time.
Both times I have observed the bug the deleted item has been shockwave.
I attempted to recreate it with the knife but it worked as intended.
Hey, thank you very much for the help! I've managed to fix the bug with the info that you have given me :) The fix, along with many others, will be uploaded with the next update. Thank you for playing and giving feedback :D
I really do think that allowing multiple slots to cause epic synnergies could be awesome (and having multiple of the same item to level it up would also be epic
I am currently working on passives for the next update :D Health upgrades and passives will appear in the shop. I would also love to be able to combine weapon parts, but that would take a lot of time, so it wouldn't be added soon.
Thanks so much, though, for the support and feedback!
I Really like the new slow snow weapon, Although it has such a small ammo capacity (because it makes it balanced), but what if later in the game, the a way to reforge a weapon for gold or a weapon or upgrade, E.G you can reforge the slow snow to have a faster reload speed. or have a larger ammo capacity. Could their also be an option in settings that give a sort of countdown when you have been in the inventory for more than 10 seconds or something. (time could also be adjustable)
Thanks for the ideas. I will have to think about upgrading/reforging weapon parts. I don't really understand what you mean by a timer in the inventory, could you please elaborate on that?
sorry for being unclear with the timer part, What I mean by 'timer' is that the game could measure how long the inventory has been open for, and if it takes longer than a chosen time, then a countdown would occur when the player exits the inventory. Could you also add next to the knockback rates a word like high or medium next to it so it is a bit more clear for newer players? ( you could also do this with the other stats as well if you want) Also very exited for the passives in the next update as well!
Hey! :D Thanks for playing and for the idea! I plan on soon adding a passive item system. My plan is to make these passive items purchasable with gold and upgradable by merging two of the same passive item.
Honestly one of the main complaints I have is just that the lower level gear drops just start to become useless once you have chosen your perfect loadout for a slot (and the second and third slots seem to be useless rn) but I can't stop playing the game lmao
These drops are useless at a certain point, so I think I'll make their drop rate much lower the further into the game that you are :)
Yeah, I'm still not sure what to do about the other slots, if I do end up making use of them, then it won't happen any time soon, since I'm working hard on adding the shop and fleshing out the weapon parts. Thanks for playing and giving me all the support and feedback, next update releasing soon :)
very exited about this score, was starting to think though, once the health mechanic does get implemented, people could just go forever (or for a really long time) even though the game does get progressively harder. Would need some balancing in the late game. not sure how tho.
Yes, this problem had come across my mind too. I think I'll make healing an almost essential part of the game, so I'll make enemies deal more damage, meaning you would have to heal to even make it to wave 30. If you do have any other solutions though, please let me know :)
bug report cause i died at wave 26 while my shield is on, and with the new turret force field is kinda bad. because if u use that, u have too be inside of the turret, cause if not, the enemies will get push to u most of the time, can you make it so that it can be equiped by the player too?
Hey, Thanks for the info! Sorry, you died here. In the shield's description, it says that it only protects against projectiles, but I see how this isn't obvious. If you died to a projectile, then I'll have to look into the bug.
For the next update, I'll make the shield protect you against melee attacks too. I also know that the new turret shockwave mod needs to be worked on. I'll make it work for the player too, soon.
bro i already love this game, its like brotato with better graphics + better projectiles, AND its a free web game?!?! count me in! (my best wave is wave 25 and my build was triple spectral arrows with the fire barrel and the bubble mod. The turret had strategic legs, glowing orbs, tripple barrel and the fire barrel so if u wanna get to a later wave this build is very good!)
I suggest adding a passive item system, maybe that could be what you buy with coins (I love passive items in roguelikes lmao (I can give passive upgrade ideas if that helps)
Passive items are something that I've wanted to add for a while, so I certainly plan on implementing them in a future update. For now, I'm going to work on fleshing out the upgrade system, and then I'll get started on passive items. If you have any ideas for passive items, then feel free to let me know. I can't promise anything, but ideas are always helpful and inspiring!
Thanks for the ideas! I'll try to add some of them, but I have to say that some items, like multiple turrets, most likely won't be added as the code was only written to work with one. That's not to say this will never happen, but for now, I'm focusing on adding more simple content. Ideas like "chance to heal on kill" and "more dashes" will certainly be added (I also have some other cool ideas in mind ;)) Thanks again for all the support, I really appreciate it!
I also think you should add a store where u can purchase guns or hearts and hearts could be a rare drop or an every five or every 10 waves reward! For a shop I personally think you should just add a screen after the wave where you could spend your coins. Good luck with the game!
I would love to add a shop to the game eventually, and I think I'll be adding weapon upgrades/parts soon that will heal you, so hearts in the shop would probably be used to increase your max health. Healing would then be taken care of by upgrades.
Hey! :) Thanks for playing! An option to turn off screen effects completely would make the game look pretty bland, so maybe I'll add an option to hide just some effects. Changing "fire rate" to "fire delay" is something I meant to do a while ago, thanks for reminding me ;) I have to work out how to add more depth to progression, and the idea of upgrading/merging weapon parts sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks again for playing and giving feedback!
To clarify, by "screen effects" I meant the CRT-esque screen bending effect (looking at corners hurts). Having another option to disable some visual effects (like the stuff that splatters out from dead enemies) would also be nice though.
(P.S. I forgot to add this in my last post but the ability to rebind controls to different keys would be neat.)
(P.P.S: The player should be able to equip Legs equipment to affect their movement speed & dash distance.)
(P.P.P.S: Melee weapons like a sword or pike would be a neat addition.)
I feel a visual effect and also maybe a sound should play when the player gets hit. +Maybe a index of all the weapons and mods that the player has collected so far and what they do and their damage and etc could help, would save after death (like a main menu button or something)
I totally agree with this. The player health system was added in a bit of a hurry as I wanted to get the game published, but I will work on it. An index of all the parts and mods you've collected sounds like a good idea, too.
Thanks for playing my game and congrats on the impressive high score!
I've implemented a system to get rid of items in your inventory and you can now right click to reload. The tutorial should only have been appearing once, so that must have been a bug :P (fixed now though) I would like to implement a way to regain health and I need to work out a good way of implementing I-frames.
I like the upgrade system because it brings variety
I like the art style and music
I like that you added the dash cooldown as a “headband”
Some things that I found initially confusing:
The upgrade system wasn’t intuitive for me, e.g. only the first slot is equipped, and the others are just storage (I understood it after reading your description, but it would be nice to make it more apparent in the game)
It wasn’t clear what all these different icons in the shop mean (perhaps a tooltip would help here?)
More often than not I misinterpreted the “coins” as enemy bullets and tried to dodge them and run into enemies :P
I didn’t really notice when I got hit because there is no feedback (sound/visual), just the HP on the bottom-left, but I didn’t look at it when I was busy dodging all the enemies
I agree the upgrade system needs tooltips and a tutorial would certainly be more helpful. I'll see what I can do to make coins more visible while they're flying towards you. The player health system needs a bit of work as it was added in a bit of a hurry because I really wanted to get the demo published.

Thank you for the info!
I'll look into this :)
it would be helpful if you could make a downloadable version, rather than just the browser one lol
The perks are really fun! I came up with an idea for another mod, it makes you able to dodge through enemies and projectiles, but makes the recharge half as long.
Thanks! :D
I like your idea, but I'm not completely sure what you mean. So, you can dash through enemies and their projectiles, but you dash reload time is twice as long?
That's it!
that already exists
huh, I could just be doing it wrong, but I seem to find that I take damage when I do it.
AHHHHH THERE ARE PERKS NOW!!!!! SO EXCITING!!! (idea: only show perks that have been collected on a given run)
Hey! Yes, here they are! :D
Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think of them, thx :)
the perks are great!
maybe there could be a + max ammo perk
(also, +5% accuracy and firerate from the barrels just feels pretty useless)
also, I have an idea for how at least some of the inventory could work:
what if, for things like scopes, all three effects are active (but you start with only like 1 slot, so a passive upgrade could give you extra scope slots for more bonuses)
Thanks for the idea.

diffrend characters can be diffrend colors like green or light blue with diffrend starting wepons and the diffrend macanics can be with the diffrend turets.

Hey!
I think these ideas are great, and I'll consider them for future updates. Customising the turret to fit your playstyle is an awesome idea too.
Really appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing :D
the headbands could be like how the turrets have legs!
Hi! I really like this idea!
I think I'll start working on something like this soon :)
how about water legs, so the legs will drop puddle and its freeze able, its like the oil but for ice
and maybe if u add lightning element that can work with oil and water?
WOW! That's the highest score I've ever seen!
I love your water and electricity idea! Implementing synergies (like fire and oil) is one of my favourite things to do in DUD, so thanks for the idea.
I really appreciate the feedback :D
can't wait to see what is added next!
Challenge accepted.
when pink enemies take damage when frozen their art changes to the art of a frozen common red
Thanks for letting me know!
I would never have noticed that had you not told me xD
This will be fixed in the next update.
the projectiles from ice mine set off other mines
I think you mean that projectiles set off the ice mines. This was intentional, as otherwise, the ice mines wouldn't go off as frequently.
Thank you for the feedback, though, and thanks for playing.
Hey, thanks for the bug report!
This bug has existed for a while, and I'm trying to fix it, my biggest issue is that I can't reliably recreate it. If this happens more often to you and you find a pattern, feel free to let me know.
Thanks for playing :)
ingame similarities between the times i've experienced this bug
1) shockwave on turret
2) snowball on turret
3) health is at 1.5 ish hearts
4) wave ends in 6
I will update this message if the bug happens to me more.
Current number of encounters: 2
Thank you!
I still haven't worked out how to fix this bug, but this info is very helpful.
Thanks for playing :)
If you pick up an item and are in the range of another instance of the item it picks up one and destroys the other
Thanks for the feedback!
I will try to fix this bug as soon as possible, I think it only happens if you pick up two of the same item.
Thanks for playing :)
I have tried to recreate the bug and instead of deleting one item when picking up the other I was able to pick up one of the two with the image of the item staying then when i tried to pick it up it did not appear when picking it up.
This may not be related to picking it up at the same time.
Both times I have observed the bug the deleted item has been shockwave.
I attempted to recreate it with the knife but it worked as intended.
Thank you for looking into this :)
I will try some things today and see what I can do.
I tried picking up a better barrel and something similar to what has been mentioned before happened
The order i picked up items in were Better barrel(succeeded in equipping this one)->Better sight->Better Barrel(the one that ceaced to exist)
Hey, thank you very much for the help!
I've managed to fix the bug with the info that you have given me :)
The fix, along with many others, will be uploaded with the next update.
Thank you for playing and giving feedback :D
Im occassionally getting frozen mines spawning randomly when i dont have anything that spawns them
Hey, thanks for letting me know :)
I'll fix this bug in the next update, thanks for the feedback!
Great game! I'm enjoying watching it grow and be updated!
Thanks for these motivating words!
So glad you enjoyed the game! :D
(sorry for all the requests, but could you make a download version by any chance?)
the knifes is better than the shuriken in every way, u should make the knife rare and the shuriken common
For real the only bad thing about the knife is accuracy.
Hey! Yes, I completely agree. I will change this for the next update :)
love the new content, honestly the two main things I would love to see now are passives (even just a few) and health pickups
I really do think that allowing multiple slots to cause epic synnergies could be awesome (and having multiple of the same item to level it up would also be epic
and if you want ideas on how the stuff could combine, I can give ideas <3 (loving the game so much lol)
Hey!
I am currently working on passives for the next update :D
Health upgrades and passives will appear in the shop. I would also love to be able to combine weapon parts, but that would take a lot of time, so it wouldn't be added soon.

i have an idea
Bassically certain items can have really cool upgrades you get with coins and how many waves youve gone through.
like the laser sight having an upgrade where it gives things perfect accuracy/more range
or the bouncy balls having more bounces
stuff like that lol
Hey! :D
Thanks for playing and for the idea! I plan on soon adding a passive item system. My plan is to make these passive items purchasable with gold and upgradable by merging two of the same passive item.
Sick game! id love to make something like this
Hey thanks for playing! So glad you enjoyed the game! :)
there's a bug: every time you open your inventory, your ammo reloads to full
Thanks for playing and reporting this bug, I'll try to fix it as soon as possible :)
Hey Like the knew stuff keep the up the good work!
Great to hear!
I'm working on quite a big update for the next version :)
Honestly one of the main complaints I have is just that the lower level gear drops just start to become useless once you have chosen your perfect loadout for a slot (and the second and third slots seem to be useless rn) but I can't stop playing the game lmao
i think a merging system would be cool, like we could merge 3 arrows for spectral arrows or 2 double barrel for a tripple barrel? it sounds cool to me
Hey!
These drops are useless at a certain point, so I think I'll make their drop rate much lower the further into the game that you are :)
Yeah, I'm still not sure what to do about the other slots, if I do end up making use of them, then it won't happen any time soon, since I'm working hard on adding the shop and fleshing out the weapon parts. Thanks for playing and giving me all the support and feedback, next update releasing soon :)

(PS.) - When the game isnt a demo are u gonna put it on steam? cause i would like to be able to play this without internet!
Hey! :D
Thanks you for playing and for all the compliments!
Wave 25, impressive! That's also one of my favourite builds :)
Stay tuned for future updates and thanks again for playing!
You might be able to redeem coins for health?
100 = 1 heart or 250 = 1 heart?
Hi!
Yeah, I have some ideas for implementing coins. Health regen will be taken care of by weapon parts and mods (coming soon)
Thanks for playing :)
I suggest adding a passive item system, maybe that could be what you buy with coins (I love passive items in roguelikes lmao (I can give passive upgrade ideas if that helps)
(also the art is just too cute lol)
Hi again!
Thanks for the compliment on the art ;)
Passive items are something that I've wanted to add for a while, so I certainly plan on implementing them in a future update. For now, I'm going to work on fleshing out the upgrade system, and then I'll get started on passive items. If you have any ideas for passive items, then feel free to let me know. I can't promise anything, but ideas are always helpful and inspiring!
I was thinking, what if there were items for:
enable the (second/third) slot on (your/turret's) (ammo/barrel/sight/mod/legs)
chance to heal on kill
stat upgrades
more dashes
more turrets?
Thanks for the ideas!
I'll try to add some of them, but I have to say that some items, like multiple turrets, most likely won't be added as the code was only written to work with one. That's not to say this will never happen, but for now, I'm focusing on adding more simple content.

or for the regen maybe just make it passive after a while of not being hit.
Thanks again for the feedback! :D
I would love to add a shop to the game eventually, and I think I'll be adding weapon upgrades/parts soon that will heal you, so hearts in the shop would probably be used to increase your max health. Healing would then be taken care of by upgrades.
that sounds great thanks for working so hard on this game!
Game looks really promising.
Suggestion: Ways to upgrade/exchange weapons of the same type/rarity (would probably need to make default gear exempt tho)
Also an option to turn off the screen effects
Also rename "fire rate" to "fire delay" to more accurately match its in-game function
Hey! :)
Thanks for playing!
An option to turn off screen effects completely would make the game look pretty bland, so maybe I'll add an option to hide just some effects. Changing "fire rate" to "fire delay" is something I meant to do a while ago, thanks for reminding me ;)
I have to work out how to add more depth to progression, and the idea of upgrading/merging weapon parts sounds like a good idea to me.

Amazing game loved have been hooked all weekend couldn't stop! Keep going with the updates!!
Hi!
Thank you for playing, I'm so glad you enjoyed the game. This comment is really motivating :D
this game looks really promising, I can't wait to see what you do with it!
Hey! :D
Thanks for playing, this is really motivating :)
as someone who particularly likes roguelikes, I'm always excited to see new ones <3
I feel a visual effect and also maybe a sound should play when the player gets hit. +Maybe a index of all the weapons and mods that the player has collected so far and what they do and their damage and etc could help, would save after death (like a main menu button or something)
Hi, thanks for playing :)
I totally agree with this. The player health system was added in a bit of a hurry as I wanted to get the game published, but I will work on it. An index of all the parts and mods you've collected sounds like a good idea, too.
my game bugged out at wave 22 and I can't continue
Hi, thanks for playing!
It isn't obvious to me why this happened, but I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
my best score, i wold like if u give us :
- a way to trash/sell? items quickly (not just letting the item de-spawn)
- give I frames after taking damage and on the dash
- a way to customize the button (my brain want to reload with right click so bad)
- a way to gain back hp
- after the first play trough stop giving the tutorial
overall 10/10 i like the game so far (kinda addicted)
Hey! :D
Thanks for playing my game and congrats on the impressive high score!
I've implemented a system to get rid of items in your inventory and you can now right click to reload. The tutorial should only have been appearing once, so that must have been a bug :P (fixed now though)
I would like to implement a way to regain health and I need to work out a good way of implementing I-frames.
Thanks again for playing! :)
good luck on ur coding (ill be waiting and ill be gladly to help ur code)
an idea how about adding a leg that follow the right click of a cursor
Hi again :)
Thanks for replying! I love the idea of turret legs that allow you to tell the turret where to go. I'll start working on it soon.
(im really addicted to this game if u cant tell, so i appreciate it u can give us the download version so i can play offline)
do u have a discord or something so i can talk to u more about ur game :D
i want fullscreen setting
causew i cant see everything on my compute
Hi, I've uploaded a new version of the game with a new fullscreen button to the bottom right of the game screen.
thanxx
what are the dots you collect for? If they have no use other than score, than maybe they could be used to heal, once you collect enough.
Thanks for playing :)
The dots are coins, part of an incomplete upgrade system. I would like to add some sort of shop maybe where you could buy upgrades and restore health.
DUD Gameplay
Hey, nice vid! Thanks for playing my game :)
I enjoyed the game! :)
Some things that I found initially confusing:
Hey!
Thanks a ton for this feedback,
I agree the upgrade system needs tooltips and a tutorial would certainly be more helpful.
I'll see what I can do to make coins more visible while they're flying towards you. The player health system needs a bit of work as it was added in a bit of a hurry because I really wanted to get the demo published.
Thanks again and I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
