I was initially a bit confused about how to shoot. I was just clicking when I wanted to shoot, which sometimes didn't go through, so I thought I had to restore my shot somehow. Eventually I figured out how to, but I wonder why not just have the player constantly shooting if there's no reason not to anyways?

Enemy spawning was a bit wonky sometimes, I was only able to get a score of 9600 because of it. Visual effects are very juicy and the music is interesting. Overall a solid game!

Is a good idea to have the option of autofiring, but maybe I will add it as optional or maybe only for mouse and keyboard players. The enemy spawning is definitely a pain and is not intended per design so for sure I will change that. Thanks for the feedback

Nice choice of music, but wav files are over 200 MB =)

Got 1 629 425 points by a cheesy tactic. Get into the corner - now you have 4 times less area to defend from. No way you gonna survive that long in the center - unfortunately, some enemies spawn right in front of you.

I liked visual effects. Good job!

Developer

I had thought about the corner thing but literally have not time to correct it, I think most games spawn a enemy in the corner that kills you so you can not be in the corner a lot,  but not sure. The same about the enemies spawning to close but I didn´t liked to spawn all of them outside of the player view, I have to tune the distance and the enemy speeds. 

About the music I was not sure what format was the better. I imagine .ogg weight less than .wav but did not checked.

Thanks for the feedback! For sure I will try to tune the gameplay and have a little but finished game.

Glad to see there's a fixed version! It's very easy to miss something in a short jam.
