Man, this reminds me of the days I used to play candy crush, cept that I find this one extremely engaging. I love the gameplay and concept, it's definitely one of my faves! Nice job bro!

Cool game! I like the art style and audio. I think there are some balance issues with the player’s firing rate. It’s a bit slow given how many enemies you need to shoot. Maybe you could try either making the player fire faster or the enemies descend even slower, or making them descend a set amount after X number of shots. Keep up the good work!

Nice game, maybe the dificulty is not that balanced… the fire cadence is not high enough so the moment you fail a combo or it is not a possibility you are doomed. Overall fun experience, well done!
