This game is immensely satisfying, the power fantasy/feel and visual/sound effects for the laser can be injected straight into my veins. The color pallet swapping was also very cool aesthetically and kept things fresh. Will play again sometime, thanks for making this.

Neat effects, though it was a bit difficult sometimes to see the enemy bullets. Probably would have liked a few more enemy varieties.

Fun game! The impact the bullets have hitting the enemies is very satisfying. But when the enemy hits you (the player) it's hard to notice. I found myself dying a couple times not even realizing I got hit.

Great point, looking back I have no clue why we didn’t put at least a screen shake effect on the player getting damaged.

I guess this is what happens when you make an effort to really polish a game! A very smooth experience, full of juice. You can really feel the power of the laser weapon! It would have been cool to see some more innovative gameplay as well, but that seems like a small complaint when you've done such a good job at this. Great work!
