Nice idea, but fairly hard to play.
I am unsure when the ammo has been replenished, or damage taken. I could see there was text, but it was so tiny it was hard to read during gameplay.
I think if some of those things could be telegraphed a bit better, it would already make the game loads better!
Thanks for playing! That is great feedback. Improving the UI would be first on our list of things to polish.
Cool
The animation that gets played when hit is very cool! I had some difficulties understanding the controls of the game.
Is there a way to get ammo for the turret?
Thanks for playing! You can replenish ammo and health by collecting resources dropped by defeated enemies. When your resource count is above zero, you can tap the right arrow key to exchange one resource for one ammo, or tap the left arrow key to exchange one resource for one shield health. I do wish we were able to make this more clear during gameplay, but in the end we rotated Brains to point in the direction you last tapped.
It's pretty fun and very nostalgic, the art style reminds me of old Atari games. Great job!
Thanks so much for playing! We're glad you liked it.
