Fun! Just a idea, as you hit the enemy it grows bigger until it explodes.

I really liked it, I really don't know what else to say, it just seems like a good game to me haha

pretty solid base, i think the player should start out with a more simple one shot slower fire rate and work up to the speed he currently with each progressive fight, its pretty intense out the gate. in a game like this the first boss is basically a tutorial on how to play so i think it should be even slower and have less health, the overall game package could be improved drastically by adding simple intro cinematics to the bosses, like literally if they just lerped in while player input is overidden that would be enough to give players some time to digest what is about to come. good work

Cool game. I liked the visuals and sound. It was a bit difficult for me as I never play such games. I only managed to get to the 3rd boss. For some reason quite often if I went off screen and could only see a tiny part of my plane it was very difficult to return and continue the fight. You already know about bosses spawning problems. I think that they should enter the screen from one of the sides instead of spawning somewhere possibly on top of the player.

That was fun! I liked the sound effect and they styles of different bosses. It was a bit buggy, for example it lagged for me each time I pressed any mouse button (but not while holding it), but other than that I had my fun! Great job

Nice game, it nails the feel of the retro top down shooters. As said before, it has a little issue with the spawn of bosses, but that’s a little detail. Good job!

The spawn mechanics are a bit of a problem, In the 3rd boss, it insta spawned and killed me on the spot.

Other than that, nice boss rush game!
