Hi there! Thank you for making this game so we could play it! I enjoyed the concept behind it and thought it was a fun shooter game! I encountered a couple bugs with the movement (character getting stuck or not registering input), but still thought it was a nice game. Thank you!

Fun little shooter game 🙂!

Gameplay
A tutorial or some hints/tips would have been nice. Before I realized I could buy upgrades with the arrow icon I was 5  times game over :). Maybe also useful to pause the game while upgrading. Now I also died a few times while trying to buy upgrades. 

The upgrades were very useful. So I could survive longer. Heatsinking missiles were difficult. Tried to crash them into the wall every time 😁. It was fun though trying to get further each time and being able to buy more upgrades.

The controls didn't always work well. Sometimes I was stuck on the ground until I jumped and jumping could also only be done with arrow up button while I could walk with WASD. There is still room for improvement there. In the end I could play the game just fine.

Graphics
Nice pixel art. It all fit together. Also nice that there is variety in the enemies. Some more particle effects might be an extra.

Audio
Nice track. Some more diversity  maybe a bonus in terms of track and SFX, but audio and effects in the game are nice to have anyway. 

Theme
Upgrading yourself and weapons fits well of course.

Present fortunately, but very short 😉.

Overall a game well done 💪. Nice that you joined us in the jam.

Like The Idea And Very Creative But The Controls Don't Work Sometimes

I thought this was fun! I didn't notice the upgrade arrow until a ways into my first run. The way the music pauses is a bit strange, and a lot of things could've used some more sound effects. I wasn't really ever in love with the controls and it felt weird being able to be and be shot off the sides of the screen. Also the fact that the missiles couldn't be shot was kinda disappointing, I don't know why I automatically assumed that would be the case to be honest. Can't hold it against you but I do think it might've been better if you had a way to deal with them besides running :)

overall this is a fun game, the upgrades feel good, buying health back is annoying but not so expensive that it feels punishing. Good work on this!

really good work, a challenging game x3

and what a headache those missiles e.e XD

Really weird that you can move with WASD and the arrow keys but only jump with the arrow keys. The graphics were nice; I really liked the ground tiles.

I like the heatseaking missile , pain in the **** to avoid though haha , good work!
