Make it look like I'm actually damaging the gremlins. Maybe add a shooting sound effect and give them a health bar and a damage animation. You did a great job with the intro tho.

why does this look like it was made in scratch

I like the art in this game. It's simple but definitely gives a feeling of urgency! I got a B in the end :) 

Like @LesPaulLord I thought the game might be broken, so it'd be nice to either add a sound effect for shooting or indicate it visually. Also 30 HP seems like a lot. I'd recommend moving the gremlins more instead of having such a high HP.

Overall, I liked how consistent the art style was.

This was really fun! My favorite part was the music and graphics. It had a really old school flash game vibe that I would have played in middle or high school. Kinda Homestarrunner esque. My only critique is that I would have liked some sort of sound effect for shooting. I didn't really know I was damaging any gremlins until one eventually died. It could also be interesting if some gremlins take more or less hits! small gremlins = 10 hits, large gremlins = 20, something like that. But overall I really enjoyed it!

Hello ! I tried playing it a couple of ways, but pressing space bar didn't work and I couldn't shoot any Gremlins... I'll refrain from rating the game beacause it would seem unfair then, but I like the game's premise from what I saw at the start :D !

Hey sorry about that. I think I have an idea on how I can help.

Have you tried mashing the space bar or did you only press it once? Everytime you press the space bar when the target is focused on a gremlin, you drain their HP by 1. The gremlins have about 30 HP (90 for the dark green one), which would take you about 30 space presses to defeat one. I've should've been more precise on the instructions when I said that.

if that didn't work, I'm sorry in advance, but I thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you like the concept!
