Very cool game! I liked the simple artstyle, totally suitable for this game. The music and sound is also good, while I think the shooting sound is a little loud and high pitched.

But the real gem of this game is the upgrade system and the changing distortions. It was really fun trying to decide which upgrade would be the best. The distortion gets pretty hard to handle after a while, but I think that fits the theme of the jam.

Overall, definitely recommended to give it a try!

Very well thought out mechanic! Loved the idea and even think it's good enough to be made into a more fully-fledged top-down shooter with the right changes.

I do agree that the distortion was a bit too much at times, even with the theme considered. I liked having to find my curser on the outer rim to aim at enemies, but there were points where even that became impossible. 

Despite that, I still loved it because the power-up system allowed for a way to control that issue with vision recovery.

Great job!

If you have another person and a controller available to plugin please check out my game!

I love the aesthetic you used. The aiming feels a little bit wonky tho and the distortion effect makes the game kinda unplayable at the end. Other than that, good job! :D

Really fun and polished game, but i think that making the cursor visible would make the game less confusing.

The theme really hits home when what feels like a a skill based game becomes a fight for survival and left to your reactions only. The game was fun and left me wanting to do better.

Graphics were simple but implemented really well and fit the style of the game.
