The UI placement is really great to have it in the world! Also the atmosphere is super calm. 

It feels a bit frantic at times (because of the limited view) and also a bit too simple to play. Maybe add some extra AI to the enemies?

It feels good to play. The music, controls and graphics are all great. SO satisfying when you hit something and it plays that sound effect.

Nice little game, I like the sound and minimalistic art style. I feel some sort of indicator of where about it was going to shoot would help pace it a little better. Keep up the good work 👍

I really like the minimalist art style and audio. The core game mechanic is fairly fun but dries up quickly as I found that I didn't need to think very much. I think the newer enemies should be added in sooner too --- it takes a while to get through the first 3 levels and it is the same each time.
I had fun playing the game though, thanks!

Fun and addictive but really no strategy. I think if there was maybe a short indication of where your going to shoot before you do would really improve it. I also loved the simple art style and sound design!

Thanks for the feedback! Having some sort of indication is a really good idea, wish I'd thought of that.

Liked the simple style of it all! I feel like there was room to expand the concept though. The "twist" of not controlling the direction of the shots didn't really inspire any interesting action or behavior. I found the optimal strategy was just to go around in a circle. Enemies would pile up and and eventually they'd be shot. It was just what I'd do in a normal shooter, but it took it longer.

Did you discover the other enemies? I had hoped that they might make the go around in a circle technique less effective. Thanks for the feedback though!
