The game has an absolutely beautiful aesthetic. The art reminds of a certain type of pixel art that's hard for me to describe. The music is also surprisingly fun and soothing. There's practically no connection to the theme, however. The only thing I can think of is the tower in the middle being magnetic. The gameplay is also very basic and not too fun. It's hard to lose because the tower has so much HP. If the game was more challenging, it could have been tons of fun. Great game!

This is awesome and would be great on console or add gamepad support!
The art is cute and shooting these monsters is fun, especially with the showering of particles from them which is very satisfying. I wish you could hold LMB to shoot continuously though, as I found myself wanting to stop playing before my tower was out of hp simply because the clicking was wearing on me. I also feel the target could be bigger, as I would lose my cursor in the chaos sometimes.
nice game. the health bar was too long it takes an hour to die lol. and the restart button R at the end didnt work for me. i love the art and music

They will forever remember ol' Gunslingin' Joe and the terror he delivered upon those greedy creatures. Extraterrestrials not daring to say his name in fear of Gunslingin' joe's bullets.
The game itself is pretty cool, the sound of the gun hurts a bit due to its frequency. A bit sad that there is no actual game mechanic with anything magnetic... I personally don't think it's enough to slap a vibrating magnet at the center to respect the theme... But great job to you for doing this in 3 days :D
