How does your game fit the theme?
I think pretty well. The core mechanic of the game is that you are unable to choose when you shoot or move. Every Five seconds it changes.

I had a blast playing this even if I was really bad at it. The switching between moving and shooting was really effective as a way of constantly making you think 2-3 moves ahead. Only feedback I have as far as improvement goes is maybe making the "timer" on the bottom of the screen larger and near the middle of the screen so it's really noticeable? Once I finally saw it, I was able to actually plan my movement patterns and that made the game work really well.
Nice job!
Yes, during the development of this game and play testing sometimes I myself didn't notice that the timer has end up, leading to me try to shoot instead of walk. I tried to show it as clear as possible with post effects and sounds, tho maybe it needs more :D
Really glad you like my game!
Thanks for playing :D
actually fun and fast paced shooter.
The amount of juice is astounding, and movement feels tight.
only issue really I had, is that some enemy would spawn inside the player while running around, resulting in some undeserved damage.
Like the style and arcady feel of the game, and often times I felt helpless and controlless when the game cut of my movement in the middle of ten enemy, very theme fitting :)
Thanks so much for your review! Really appreciate it ! :D I thought of this issue with the spawning and give you that point, had not enough time to fix it tho. Thanks for playing :D
