This is such a cool clone! The hit detection between the player and the trees feels great because it give me the sense of getting away with a close miss often (making me think im better at this game than i am haha). The AI are tricky to shoot which is great since it adds challenge to the game. If i were to nit pick at something it would be cool to see a night phase (i might have just not been good enough to get to see one). The sprites look very nice as well. Overall an amazing clone!
The gradual pop in of the trees felt solid. They weren't too sudden that I felt it was unfair, but also sudden enough that it was a good test of my reaction time. However, the placement of the trees below the player as they come down towards the screen make the perspective feel a bit awkward. I would also say the shooting could use some tweaking in terms of controlling the shot. In the original, it allowed you to shoot at more of an angle for left and right, and you could also change the direction of the shot after it came out. Those two things really helped with aiming for your targets.
I really love how you design the AIs’ movement that they sometimes move in full speed (which makes it hard to hit) and sometimes decelerate (which makes things easier). Love this kind of dynamic player experience! The new colors in this clone is definitely better than the original game. Except the scoring system you didn’t make, everything else feels comfortable.
