Great art style and the dash and big mode were super fun! Well done

I played it for a while! I think it's been mentioned below, but there's a point where the game gets as hard as it's going to get and it's pretty early on. That said, I pushed around, I liked seeing the buildings become transparent as you pass behind them! 

The pixel art is really well done, lots of nice effects with limited colors and some nice dithering transitions for gradients, I really like the nice touch of using the same page background color as the Game Over screen's darkest purple, it looks really good! 

Very solid game, just needs more on top of the foundation you've set up!

the pixel art looked great even though it was so simple. also getting into the big power state felt great. though it would be cool if the difficulty would ramp up more and maybe if there were weapons you could pick up and so on :)

Super cool top down shooter. Awesome visuals and music! Well done

This was a very cool game! Originally, we had the similar idea of a character being initially weak at first and then powering up Pacman style after collecting N things, so it's nice to see it being realized so well in someone else's game. Well done!

Nice game, would be fun to try different attacks for the character, or effects for the different enemies

The controls are good and the music is great. The visuals could have been improved with a more unique color palette like the one you had in the menu, but the pixel arts were pretty solid. Thanks for the game!

Was satisfying to play! Dodge move was cool once I discovered that, too. Seeing the power bar deplete so quickly made me wish there was a longer lasting reward, since it went back to normal gameplay pretty quick.

Game was fun, the controls were pretty fluid and it was fun dodging in between enemies

Fun + Functional survivors like! I like the vision of a  gameplay loop balanced around a big buffed ult window

A solidly assembled game, with good feel and visuals. Simple addictive mechanics, good work!

Neat game, I liked the graphics and collecting the points from the enemies was satisfying. I got to 60k and then stopped playing because the game wasn't getting more difficult anymore. Only thing I would change would be to make the shooting automatic instead of having to hold down m1. Good job!
