Fun game! Might be good to add a cancel fire button so you can re-aim without losing a rock (perhaps using right mouse click). I'd probably go with reducing the time between waves as well to more like 20-30s rather than 2min, just so the pacing is more frantic. Well Done!
Thanks! those are actually very very good ideas!
- For the reducing of time between waves, it is really important since I noticed that most people who played my game don't know that it is a story based game rather than a typical shooter game, because they don't reach higher waves. So this is absolutly a great idea :)
- For the cancel fire, well, I don't know how to put that, but, at first, I made the game so you can cancel fire whenever you want, but then I changed all of that to what it is now to make the game harder. But I guess you have reason, maybe I should put that back :)
Your feedback is so rich and helpful for me, your game was great as well, keep up the good work!
No problem, meant to say I also loved the art style - really cool. :)
Thanks you so much! I am glad you liked my art style!
Thanks again for the precious feedback, I sure am going to update the game soon :)
It's a great game i loved the visuals, congrats on the game
Thank you so much! I really am glad that you loved the visuals because they took the most time from me
Great game! I love the art
It is very refreshing for me to heat that you love art since it was the most think that took my time :)
I love you game as well, Good job!
Nice game for a game jam!
Thanks budy! your game is cool as well!
cool game, did you make with your daughter?
unfortunately, no, I don't have a daughter :( maybe soon :)
But still I am glad you liked my game, I really appreciate that!
Very nice, it's one of those games i could see myself playing for too long. The art was very good for the type of game you wanted to make, and the animation was spot on.
I am glad you enjoyed it! And I really appreciate your compliment for the art because it was really tiring making everything from scratch :)
I can imagine it was, there's a reason i'm happy my teammate is the artist and i can stick to coding xD
You should be very thankful to your teammate haha :)
Oh i am, it's cool seeing the art they come up with. I have a lot of respect for people that can make unique/very well done art.

Wow nice and fast update, i will be playing this in my downtime.
Great job! The only thing I would have liked to see is some sort of upgrade system, but otherwise, it played really well, and looked great! Keep making games :)
Thank you so much!
This is a great feedback! I liked the idea, even though I was focusing on the story in the game, but the upgrade system will make the game more dynamic and fun, maybe I will add it to the game later :)
Hi there I played your game, the only feedback I have is maybe take some art lessons to help you improve your art!
Thanks for your feedback!
Can you be more specified :)
I dont know there are so many resources that can help you with art. DrawABox, Loomis books, online courses, take your pick!
Thanks for the resources, but this isn't what I mean. I mean what do you mean by the game art: in my game specifically character design? Tiles? Animations? Visual effects?...
