Creative idea!

I managed to beat the game on my 2nd try with some luck!

It would be cool if you could take damage from the bullet  by standing in front of the hero's attack, either way I had fun good job!

Thank you! I LOVED your game. The speed of the mouse decreasing was a super clever way to keep me hooked despite dying A LOT haha

It's a nice idea, it just often feels like the player kills things way faster than you can get to them unless you get lucky with enemies spawning really close.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I randomized some aspects to ensure gameplay could be challenging. According to spawn patterns there can be situations where winning isn't possible.

I love this interpretation of role reversal, and I'd love to see it improved upon in the future! I think it might be a good idea to remove the random aspect of it simply because you can get into situations where it's impossible to win; or, the randomness could be an option that you unlock after you complete a few levels. I love the donkey sprite by the way!

Developer

Yes, that's a very fair suggestion!

Lol pretty cool game! Definitely a good take on the theme. It was pretty tough though. That hero is a bit too good of a shot! Maybe if it took the hero a little longer to get to the flag. Third try though I was in a good position and was able to die by bombs, and yes it did feel good!

Overall though very good job on the game and coming up with the idea!!

Developer

Thank you very much! Setting the parameters was tricky, so balance is far froooooom perfect.

This was such a creative concept!! Nailed the theme. I think it could have done with a little more playtesting, as there were some rounds where I simply was not in a position where I could reach enough bombs in time. 

Developer

Yeah, it was tricky to set everything in a balanced way ^^" I randomized elements to make it a bit more interesting each run.Thank you for your feedback!

I love the concept and the difficulty! I think it could be improved with obstacles and animations, but it's a good start.

Developer

Thank you! I was alone and VERY rusty on Unity, but I had fun making it :) Your game looks AWESOME!
