I really liked the use of the magnifier in this game! It's a unique and creative addition to the game and it really helped making the game feel more complete. I would've loved to see more enemies and a longer lasting game, because I do think this had a lot of potential! Great job!

Themes
The main idea was based on it being a LOWREZ game, but the most suitable theme turned out to be Unconventional Weapon.
Tools
Well, Defold as a game engine is transparent, lightweight, but some features either need to be searched for or added, which is also a plus in a way. Aseprite for art is an excellent tool in this case. BandLab for music - I hope to eventually compose something for the game.
Lessons
I learned a lot about game rendering, how the rendering pipeline works in Defold. A lot about shaders as well. And many other small things, which is in the future may come in handy in other games together or separately.
Comments
Yes, these are two different sets of images. Even two sets of game objects. The larger one has all the necessary collision checks, controls, and so on. And the smaller ones are just objects with sprites that copy everything from the larger objects.
When aiming, we see a render target that draws a fragment of the world with the larger sprites.
