Pretty fun game, great work. The mechanics definitely need to be made clearer though, I assumed it was a bug that things weren't dying until I read the help section.

Thanks for your feedback, I have now updated the game and made some changes. You can try it out anytime :)

I really liked the variety of enemies and attack animations. I also liked the different camera angles used to disorient the player. I noticed a few minor bugs like the camera glitching when you are on the ceiling for the stairs and the bee's orientation (I think these could be fixed pretty quickly tho). It took a few tries but I finally made it to the end (with 2 stars). Overall, the game is fun to play and I really enjoyed it. It reminds me of older arcade games (with the countdown at the start too) + jetpack joyride/gravity guy.

The animations of each enemy makes the game pretty lively and was nice to see as I fought them since it gave each of them some form of personality. The use of shooting along with the gravity switch made for some nice, quick action. There are bugs like the bee switching gravity with you which was annoying, but one important feedback I have is to include health bars as I had difficulty maximizing the efficiency of my shots. It was due to this that I ended up wasting more bullets than I should have in some runs. One part I DO LIKE a lot is how varied the enemy attacks and obstacles are, kept the gameplay loop fresh!

Thanks for your feedback. It's great you like the animations. There was an issue with the bee but it is now fixed. The bee and some other enemies are designed to follow you when switching gravity, this is one of the features of my game. The player has unlimited bullets while the support has a limited time on-screen so there is no need to worry about wasting shots. It is now an updated version, you can try it out anytime :)

I think the combination of the low/high shot mechanic and the support mechanic makes the game interesting. I should admit, it's very hard to figure out how to defeat each enemy without looking at the help page, but once that's figured out the game is enjoyable. I appreciate the very simple AI on the man-eating plants with how they have different attack animations for when you are on the ceiling or on the floor. My favorite part of the game is the temple part. Cool game!
