- very good game I can't get a score above then 11 but I have a suggestion in easy mode the player should shoot from the middle where the laser guider is there it would make easy mode easy but overall 5 stars
- I genuinely love the logic of playing with only space key, gameplay and the graphics are all minimalism! I get to score 18, and I am so noob at this game! (I will try beating my score after this feedback lol) As for the feedback; I would say this can be a great mini game, and man! For only 1 month of experience this is a great start! I loved how you disabled laser and speed up the player for hard mode instead of increasing the speed of red circles, thats clever! At first I thought the number will decrease whenever ⭕️ by pass me, but they were only there to destroy. - you can improve the game by a tutorial! This game really doesn’t require much of an update, its fun and challenging! *you can improve it by polishing some graphics! Other than that I think the main mechanic is really good, you may want to add several different modes, rather than easy and hard! Maybe add mods like defending an area, where the 🔴 can’t hit your area… I see this is a startup project to push yourself in the journey of gamedev! But this is your opinion, if you see this as a full project, you should continue improving it! Other than this, I haven’t seen many bugs (only that we can push red circles) Yeah! Thats all, I wish you great adventure in your game developer journey! Go share your project with friends and family, you made this! Congrats.

Great game. Really nice SFX and Music. One thing:
It will add an additional challenge if the Shooter dies on touching the falling objects. Right now it just touches them and moves them around. That was you won't only have to shoot them, but also dodge them.
Interesting gameplay. Reaction challenge. I like it.
It's easy to get used to the game controls and I really liked the shooting-dodging concept. Overall, good game! But I would also make the sounds a bit less louder
Hi! Nice job!
I really liked that you linked movement and shooting: in doing so the controls become even more minimalist and the game acquires a distinctive and recognizable component! Similar to what someone else pointed out, my eyes felt a little overwhelmed by the glow (especially on the main menu screen)...
This is a great project for a month of experienced developer!!! I had fun playing it.
I especially liked how the mechanics and the graphics are minimalism. Well done, hope to see your future improvements!
Really awesome concept. I had fun playing and managed to get a score of 32. With some polish this game could be really great!
This is really well polished! Very replayable, has good audio, and I like the "retro" feel. One comment is that the glow effect on some of the objects was a bit harsh. Great job!
For a first game this is great! I thoroughly enjoyed spamming shoot button to wiggle back and forth to hit stuff and tap the shoot button to correct direction. Also the music track was great! Would be interesting to see what ideas you could take this game in.
The idea is so good but in my opinion too much post'procesing.
A bit too much post-processing. Kinda nice though.
Took a moment to get used to the mechanic, but after that it became very fun.
A lot of similar games usually don't have a reason to not shoot without stop, but making the shooting a part of the movement really makes for a great time.
Great job on this one!
Great game with a great direction switch after shooting. Liked this idea alot.
Cool game but so HARDD!! lol.
Solid, but lighting was quite annoying
I enjoyed playing this game. I loved the music and the laser sound. I also thought it was pretty neat to have just one control and mix it up by having the shooting also switch direction. I thought the circle was going to hurt me and was happy to see it didn't when it hit me. I found the glow effect on the circles and text to be a bit distracting. Overall amazing job on creating this fun game!
This has some really nice gameplay! I loved how the shooting function pushed you back and forth a bit.
Really good concept! Maybe try to soften the lights a bit, people with high photosensitivity (like me) could really get sick. This was a great game nonetheless, the idea was wonderful and the sound was on point. Keep up the good work!
Nice effects, but HAAAAAAAARD!!!! XD
Nive work.
I have a thing for hard games :)
Fun simple mechanics. The lighting was a bit overdone for me, but overall a solid game.
Ah cool concept!
