Amazing take on the theme! Audio and visuals were super slick and the boomerang mechanic was fun, notice some other people have mentioned damage feedback which is my only critique! I also wasn't sure if the boomerang does damage on the initial throw as well as the way back, so adding some visuals/sounds for that would definitely clear it up either way

Awesome style you've got, brings it all together! Very tricky to manage what is essentially a twin stick while blind. Considering how often you're in the dark, I think what this game needs most is some really clear and satisfying sound effects for basically everything you do, from throwing, collecting money, defeating enemies, even walking.

Space DustAesthetics are great, loved the into cutscene VERY much, haha. Looks great. Some more clear feedback on damage-taking and damage-doing would be great, but overall it's already very nice little game.

Incident Report #43I loved the aesthetics and the idea of not seeing myself when I shoot. This is a great videogame idea :) Art style and initial cut scene are also beautiful!

Gravity GrooveWent for the high score, and ended up greatly surpassing it.
I would have liked better feedback for when an enemy takes damage. Some of the bigger enemies took a while to kill and I wasn't always sure if I was hitting them. More powers ups you can get later on would have been nice as well. And the music restarting when you get hit confused me at first, I thought I was dying.
The tutorial at the start as well as the main menu and everything, felt nicely polished.
Regardless of my complaints, it was still fun enough of a game for me to play for a while.
