I've rated the game, and I'm sorry but I'm a bit exhausted from giving a lot of in-depth feedback for a bunch of games, so here's the gist of my feedback for you;
- Give more game feedback to the player: The player should be able to see and hear every time they hit an enemy and when they get hit by an enemy
- Fix the health bar, please.
- Consider adding some sort of limitations and incentives for the game. Right now the game is just "hold down left click and aim at the bad guys". Maybe consider limiting the number of bullets in each gun, and force the player to physically pick up new guns when they run out of ammo to add more skill and thought to the game.
- Maybe try revising the colour palette for the game. Unless you can afford to draw custom sprites for everything, just stick with coloured boxes for everything, giving everything very distinct colours. SuperHot is a great example of this, with only 3 colours for the whole game, yet everything stands out and these colours do a great job of communicating what's an enemy, what can be interacted with, and what can't be interacted with.
- Increase the player's movement speed to make the game feel more responsive. It doesn't feel like it when you code it, but just changing the speed of the player makes a huge difference.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
its a top down shooter where the gun switches every few seconds what makes the game really chaotic
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes all assets and code were made by me

Alright, First of all it was fun. But I found this weird bug, I was still able to play after my health in level 2. After killing all enemy no more levels were loaded.
I'd also love you to play and rate mine with honest feedback. I bet you will love the challenge..

I've played with fun and even finished the game.
Good entry for a jam especially for beginner. I like different modes like 'small people', 'fast guns' and so on. Game is somehow addicting and you play cuz you want to see what will be next. And the final message brought me a feeling of completion.
It's great that you have finished your project, I wish you best luck with your next games!
I hope this doesn't come off too harsh but since you ask ^^... Besides having some sounds (which is a whole other skill that I don't have ^^), the graphics can be improved, maybe some flashier colors, maybe some sprites for the player and the enemies, maybe some knock back effect when a bullet hits. There is actually a really nice talk on youtube about that : "Juice it or lose it - a talk by Martin Jonasson & Petri Purho" that could give you some ideas on how to make it more punchy.
Don't stress about it tho, the concept you developed is quite unique and nice to play ;-)
thank you! yeah the problem with the health bar appeared after i built the game and i wasnt ready for it what meant that i didnt have enough time to fix it
