The core idea is really interesting. It has tricky for me, once you get to a certain height it just takes too long for the shield to get back to the top and the field is too dense so it kind of becomes a challenge of staying near the bottom with going too far. The music loop was too short, I think it could have benefited from something longer. Fun game!

The control scheme for this was really creative. I  don't think I've ever played another game that controlled similar to this. It was tricky at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was satisfying to dodge enemy attacks in midair while waiting for the shield to plow through them. My main criticism of the game is that I found the audio to be somewhat repetitive, but other than that, I though it was quite good!

This game is mechanics are amazing! I can see this being expanded indefinitely, The game is really fun, it might need some polish, but it has so much potential! A scoring system, some extra levels with different colors and themes, more enemies, and refining the mechanic of the ring and you have yourself a top notch game! I found myself playing it over and over again, cause it was so much fun to jump out and try to get back in the ring XD
