I REALLY like the beginning of the music, then it seems to divulge into some chaotic mess, which might be the vibe lol. 

Fun shooter with some abilities and boss battles. I really dislike spamming click though. Give me burst, full auto, or slower and more impactful shooting and I'm happy personally. Also in my opinion the game field is a bit "noisy", like a lot of the flowers and mushrooms in the grass it's hard to keep track of the bullets, enemies.. etc. 

Cool shooter

Neat game! There is suprisingly good amount of content, 3 bosses👏 The water and energy mechanic is nice. Cute art!

It requires a lot of spam clicking to beat a boss, maybe you could try putting some cooldown on shooting and allow holding the mouse button.

I was able to beat first and second boss, my high score is ~650. GG!

I think shift is a better key for dash, but rly cute animations and art! Also how much health does the bee boss have cuz I couldn't kill it after spam clicking for a few minutes

Developer

Wow that was a lot of fun! I enjoyed the challenge of trying to balance energy and water whilst simultaneously weaving between different enemies and their unique attacks. The different bosses kept me engaged for a while :)) I made it to the mushroom boss with a high-score of 596
