Fun little sound effects and interesting game play, more levels and enemy variety could make it a steam level game!

I enjoyed this game,  but I don't understand what is the one resource though hehe. I liked it very much, good job!

I like it. The art and the style.
Also it is satisfying to reflect bullets at the right time.

I also had an issue with not working controls. I restarted the game and it was okay but then it happened again and I just continue playing standing still ) 

I think you just have to constraint the mouse inside the game or lock in the center. Most of the game negines has this functionality. Not sure for GameMaker though.

Sadly your solution did not work, but after like 3 hours I finally fixed movement controls by forcing fullscreen. Hope you can enjoy the game in its fullest now.

Very fun take on the survivor genre with a surprising amount of depth and progression.

With randomized upgrades between levels and a graphical overhaul I could see it becoming a paid game.

The shields not moving with you when bashing feels a bit weird, personally I'd change that.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and I can definitely see how the shield delay with the bashing could be weird and something I'll look into adjusting.

Movement controls were not working but still playable. It would be nice if the enemies were a bit faster.

Developer

Movement controls have been fixed and now and work, also if you make it into the later levels I think you'll be glad that you don't have 12 enemies sprinting at you.
