A downloadable masterpiece! for Windows

My fast-paced action roguelike. There's just two rules: 

  • Don't get hit!
  • Kill as many enemies as you can!

I'm hoping to release the game by the end of the year.

Controls:
Left mouse button - You shoot automatically as long as enemies are in your range and autoaim angle.
Right mouse button - Damage a large cone in front of you. This kills troopers in one shot, but just deals significant damage to everything else.
Shift - Dash
Space - Time slow

The boxes around you are your skill charges. You have 3 charges for both RMB and Shift, independently recharging. 

If you get touched, you lose a life. You've got 5 lives, regenerating slowly.

Enemies:
Trooper - basic horde enemy, if they touch you, you lose a life.
Charger - Red, fast but poor turn rate. Telegraph gets larger and brighter as they approach. Touch damage.
Pyramid - slow, but very durable. Has an enlarged touch AoE.
Shooter - every ~10 seconds, fires a shot at you from anywhere. It will track you for a few seconds, then it will lock in a final targeting angle before shooting. Dodge to the side!
If you're in a circle when it collapses, you lose a life. When they turn white, they're about to collapse.

Tips: Push forward instead of retreating. Kill fast; Enemies level up on a constant timer: the faster you kill the faster you level up and outscale them. Don't get hit.
