I really like the aesthetics of this game. They fit the theme very well. I really don't like that you have to spam right click to shoot though. The idea of only being able to shoot when you are in certain areas is great but the arena is a bit too large. Having the camera move towards the mouse position does help but I was still shooting into the darkness most of the times because the enemies weren't on my screen.
I really liked your use of the theme! The upgrades were really cool, and it was satisfying to unlock the laser at the end. Nice!
I loved the sound effects for the pickups and the sound effects for the enemies were very fitting. I like the interesting game mechanic of running around in the circle to recharge the energy for shooting. The art style is minimalistic and very clean.
While playing my main strategy was to run away from the scary hissing enemy then constantly moving while trying to shoot. I forgot I could go back for upgrades until I could already buy the max upgrade lol. The camera looking ahead of the shot is a very nice touch.
One thing I would have liked is to be able to hold down the LMB to fire rather than spam clicking, which is less painful on the wrist lol.
Overall a lovely and fun to play game! Great work!
I really enjoy the game, i played every level, after you got the last weapon it was very easy to beat the levels. I was also facing the bug which cause that you cant shoot when you was already stand inside the circle. But i really like animations and SFX. GG
Excellent game! I struggled initially because it seems like if your already in the zone when it lights up, it doesn't take immediately so I didn't know how to shoot but once I accounted for that it was smooth sailing. The audio was great, good feedback but not overwhelming at all. I love the character sprite, the 8 directions really add a level of polish.
Thank you so much. I have to thank my friend for the great songs and sfx and i see that the game definetly is missing a tutorial and a bug fix
