Very challenging! Love how smooth it is!

Loved the movement on this game. everything was very smooth. pretty hard or maybe I just suck but fun either way. really like the "stamina", could make that bar a little more pronounced since its so important but a fun feature that adds depth to the survival aspect. 

Cool game with simple, but at the same time nice graphics. Music will most likely get bored with time, but this is exactly the kind of time-killing game that I would sometimes play on my phone

Cool game it makes really fun if you understand what's to do.

I also like the graphics. Good job :D

I enjoyed this game! It was really fun! Good Job!

I really like the dodging shots to refill energy mechanics. I also liked bouncing on the stage to gain score. Cool game!

Wow, I didn't think I'd like this because it looks like a phone game, but this was so much fun!

I'd recommend is allowing less "energy" to do more. I liked shooting + running around a lot. I liked the part where you run out, too. just less.

I liked how the energy bar is really visual, and one stat for both teleporting and shooting mechanics, but I might recommend making it come in chunks. (It's difficult to tell how much you have in terms of bullets and teleports.)

Also, maybe change the text to white.

Sorry! That's one too many recs. (I don't even know the parameters of the jam are. :)  ) The main thing is: this game is amazing. This is totally a game I would play more of. You guys should be really proud!

Edit: Honestly, nevermind! This game is pretty good as is.

Having to dodge enemy shots to recharge your abilities is a neat mechanic, it made me want to keep some enemies around while I killed other ones. The simple look of the game is great as well.

Hey!

Here are my 5 cents about the game :)

What I like:

The gameplay is solid and challenging and the effects look really good! When hitting walls the bounce effect is visual and the trail helps to facilitate that feeling of movement really well. Also aiming and shooting feel very well in place. Being trapped in that tiny breathing square also adds a good sense of stress to the overall feeling. Enemies have different HP and ammo is restricted yo one has a good tactical aspect in there too.

I also like that it works with simple shapes and polygons and builds the aesthetics more by effects than by fancy textures etc. I always like simplicity in games. Also it is not easy to get a good high score and seeing the leaderboard right now, I need a lot of practice it seems ^^. For me it is super hard to reach 1000.

The game loads up super fast in the browser by the way and the music fits the theme well. Good job.

Some remarks:

Just one tiny thing. The enemy bullets' color can be optimized imho. The bright purple has basically the same brightness than the bright player square background and that is a bit hard to read. (see this  monochrome image without saturation)

That is critique on a very high level, because I do not what else to criticize :)

Overall:

Very good entry here and thanks for the time and effort you have put into this!

Keep it up!

Really nice game! I like the idea the the gameplay :D well done

nice challenge, nice controls and easy to learn. i like the simple look
