Really cool, really polished game!  I'll echo some of the other comments that the difficulty is pretty unforgiving, but I think that would be as simple as forcing the enemies to wait a few seconds before firing (so you don't die immediately), increasing the movement speed of the player, and/or decreasing the enemies' fire rate.  Great job!

The presentation is over the top. But I am dying so many times that I can't really enjoy it. What might help with a game where death is so frequent (maybe it's only me, I don't know) would be an instant restart. Right now I have to click several buttons just to start another round, just to die instantly again...

Great work on the polish and having everything in a clean and playable state. The concept is clever. I think it would help to be a little more zoomed out/have less UI on the screen at the start so you can do some strategic planning. I couldn't always see all the objects in the room so I had to use some trial and error to clear rooms, but I think it would have been even more rewarding if I could have fully planned out my strategy before clicking go.

Thanks for the feedback, I like the idea of scouting the level before going in.

Very cool game! Concept is solid and really good UI design! Nice job!

Nice art, gameplay was cool! 

Only problem are the WASD controls, we don't all have a Qwerty keyboard so it's better to use or add the arrows as controllers too

Developer

Good point, thanks for mentioning the control issue.

Nice concept and art!

I like the idea, but I feel like the game is too hard? I think it could be made more enjoyable by increasing the player speed or by extending game area. I died at least 10 times in a row trying to figure out the player movement.

Also I am not sure if this is intentional or not but when the "Choose!" menu shows up, the player isn't actually required to choose a color since shooting is still allowed and when the current color is white, it is actually better to not choose anything. Levels 2 and 4 can be beaten this way by shooting white bullets to both enemies.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the extensive feedback! Also, good point about level 2 & 4, I'll be changing that.

Very well made! I had a lot of fun playing it although I did get killed in the 1st second of the 1st level haha. Overall a great game that's very well polished 11/10 :)

Good idea but it was annoying getting insta-killed so many times.

Good idea though and well-polished for the time given

Cool game with nice visuals. However the levels are a bit weird. Other than that good job!

I really like the look and concept of your game however, it's incredibly difficult to get started. The player is shot before they even have time to process what's happening or how the game is being played.  I really like how the player needs to attack with the enemy's complementary color! I also really like the look and polish of the game, just the level design needs some work. 

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I agree the level design is pretty poor right now, I had to rush it as it was the last thing I did. I'll see if I can get some more time in to tweak / add levels

I can't play the game on Browser:(

Developer

Sorry for that, it should be working now
