POST-JAM UPDATE!:

Shotgun Night was originally made in 72 hours for  "Mini Jam 117: Ghost". Now I'm releasing a post-jam update to fix some bugs, polish and add some cool stuff! The main addition is a 2-player Versus mode:

In the new Versus mode, you and a friend compete in getting the most kills while play through the game. Every enemy gives the same amount of score, so there might be some strategy of which enemies to aim for first.

If you want to play Versus. I recommend that one or both players use a controller, but only keyboard should work just fine too.

If you want to play the game-jam version, you can find it in the downloads. I also made a post with more info about the update for those of you who want that.
