Cool game.

1, There should be more enemies.

2, The game is a bit too hard.

3, It is a bit annoying to wait on the GMTK 2021 screen.

Besides these, Cool game.

I would be very happy if you would play my game.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Yes I'd love to play your game

Submitted

Thanks.

Nice job! It's a lot of fun shooting the projectiles back and fighting the enemies this way, was good fun playing this game! Nice job!

Developer

Thank you very much!

Unique take on the theme! it took me a while to understand how to defeat the enemies, so a little tutorial would have been great. Once I figured it out bouncing back the bullets was pretty fun! 
It has some nice juice as well!

Developer

Thanks I'm pretty proud of the 'feel' of the game, though there still are some other issues. Much appreciated!

Submitted

Clever idea! Initially I thought I just had to stay alive, enjoyed the revelation I became a bouncing platform and could attack back. 

Developer

Looking back I should've maybe put some text on screen to show controls just in case. But thank you very much for the feedback!

It seems a lot of people have pointed it out already lol, but dying to a ship that spawns and then immediately fires at you is annoying. Otherwise, no major complaints! I was very bad at it (only got to wave 3) so I may not be the best judge, but the concept seems solid enough.

Developer

Yeah I should've playtested a bit more to improve the experience, but thank you very much for your feedback and rating!

Ooooh, that's a good one! I figured out the mechanic by accident and landed a perfect head on shot without even trying and it was incredible :D

Developer

Thanks for playing and rating my game!

Cool concept, still hard to control though. I like how you polished your game and the theme is nice.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing, rating and providing feedback! I'd just like to inquire as to in what way it was hard to control? I'm glad you enjoyed the polish and theme!

Submitted

They get me off guard 50% of the time but it was fun, the art is very cool and the concept too ^^

enjoyed playing

Developer

Thanks for rating and providing feeback!

It was fun when I was lucky with the spawns, but the spawn to fire time should be increased for the enemies as I died way too many times to a ship that spawned directly behind me...

Developer

Thank you very much!

Sadly I didn't balance it well enough, I'm beating myself up for this because it would've been such an easy fix that would've improved the experience by a ton.
