I believe that if you use some free assets, it is possible to make this mechanic a very fun game! I thought it was really cool!

Nice use of boid flocking to "shoot" the enemies. The sound effects could have definitely been lowered. When you get a bunch of boids going it gets kinda grating. I also felt the zoom was a bit too far and made it hard to make out my character among the triangle boids and to make out the enemy bullets. I think if you added some more enemy variety, added a way to lose boids such as after they do X amount of damage/blocking then you could have a pretty interesting gameplay loop going.

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to have more enemies but didn't have time to design them, and I didn't think of losing boids but that's a nice idea.

Wow, this game goes full bonkers during the first minute!

I really enjoyed playing it!

Definitely some small details like the sound of all the extra drones becomes overwhelming pretty fast. And I eventually just gave up and actively tried to get myself killed because it was a bit too much.

Good game

Once you figure out what to do, game is pretty fun. Once you start getting a bunch of things flying around you it gets really hectic. It did get to a point where I had so many things that I could just stand still and not do anything and not die.
