This is a very enjoyable and fun little game and I like it a lot! The game do starts a bit slowly but it started to get better and better once you goes on a few tries and started to grasp what the game is about. I eventually got score of 2550 which I guess is not too good. The visuals in the game although simple somehow looks very pleasant, especially the special effects which I think contributes the most to the nice feel of the game.

For some feedback, I think the game do feels a bit slow concerning the difficult increase. Dragging on more than 10 mins I think do not benefit the game at all, and I rather prefer that fast to lose and start again mentality. I would also say that the game would benefit with more enemy types, and I would also suggest adding rare enemies that seldom appears, but would be much harder to deal with.

 Anyway, I think you did a good job polishing the game and really make something very good in that short 14 days time limit. Well done!

This game is great, I've played it for over an hour now. It's a perfect interpretation of the theme. Love the visual style and general level of polish. Especially excellent use of the post-processing effects

Some minor notes/thoughts:

• when you get to 10000 points, the scoreboard rolls over to 00001 points, and then you start gaining points as normal again (*see image) 
• the difficulty probably ramps up too slowly, on a 30 minute run I rarely had more than one enemy on screen
• enemies (and their stunned bodies) probably shouldn't be able to exit the screen, it's frustrating to stun a guy only to have it float away and then do an attack from offscreen
• the laser enemies are effectively not a threat compared to the other two, because the biggest danger to the player is having an enemy near them

All-in-all one of my favourite entries. I could see myself coming back and playing it again and again. Thanks for making it :)

Really great retro feel! Enjoyed the trip :) The system and gameplay feels food, maybe just needs some tuning on the difficulty ramping. Perhaps a bit more enemies on  the screen at once to get those dangerous situations and chance for amazing recoveries ;)

Felt like it played into the theme in a great way. The lowfi style also makes it stand out wellpolished. And hey - I made it on the highscore :D

Music got a little tedious though

Took me a while to understand that the Dash enemy could also be shot. Once I understood that, I can see why people say the game is easy. I think it's still pretty satisfying as is! Good game!

Really well done, polished visuals, fun to control. Only problem for me was that once I got the hang of it I was just pre-firing where the enemies would come from and killing them instantly. The enemies only ever spawn in one at a time. This would be fixed if 2 enemies spawned at same time because I couldn't pre-fire both.

really cool interpretation of the theme. I like the minimalist style too :)

Really simple but addicting game. Idk. Monkey brain was like let's just keep playing. Haha! Could see it getting crazier with more enemies on screen. I think at time of build it's pretty easy. But I liked the variety and how each enemy has their own thing they're doing. I also really like the Hive being your weapon essentially. Gotta make sure to land your shots or you'll beat yourself.

Fine job.

Love the visual style of this, it comes across incredibly well polished. You managed exactly what I wanted and failed with my submission.

You really nailed the theme too! 

Over all this feels like a real strong submission!

Cool game, really like the leaderboard as well. Done that before as well and it's a really nice thing to add for the player. 

The controls to shoot and move at the same time are a bit finnicky, but I like it for it. It's quite an original way to do it, and it makes you need to do a lot of planning, which is good. 

I had alot of fun moving my little fellas around and learning the different enemy type’s movement and behavior. Amazing work! c:

Really cool concept, congrats :)

Had a great time, one of the best so far. A solid foundation for an incremental game like Node Buster

A good arcade game and gameplay loop. Did not get that high because the mouse issue caused some enemies to be unobtainable until they moved in.

Very fun! Reminds me of old arcade cabinet games, what more could you ask for? Thought I had it down then got clapped. Forget my score, was like 1590 or something

Only feedback is that like others have said, should maybe ramp up a little faster. Also I found the cell regeneration/spawn noise to be a little rough to listen to, compared to the shoot/hit sounds. I think its just a little too high-pitched, but I'm also a little sensitive to sound lol

Nice simple art style, good sound effects and music to match the theme. Simple but good gameplay. Good job!

Nice little submission. I got 3300 points!

Simple art style is very well executed. Fits the theme. Very good use of attack forecasting with the sound and animations.

Well done for getting a leaderboard working too. I have one in my submission, and I know how much of a pain they can sometimes be.

For improvements, maybe add a hard mode the player can select.

Great job!

Really cool. Love the visual aesthetic! Only bit of feedback would be to ramp up the difficulty a bit sooner or at a more steady pace! I got 1520 points! :D
