Definitely needs Robotron shooting controls instead so you can shoot and dodge at the same time. Great music!

The controls took me a while to get the hang of, with f/j being shoot. And the switching colour could have added a lot of strategy to the game, but I don't think it quite worked. But it was a cool concept, I really like the idea. ^^

An interesting concept but a glaring issue popped up for me where swapping colors never felt all that meaningful when attacks were consistently comprised of overlapping mixes of the two colors, making it so I took damage unless I just dodged them anyways. Being forced to shoot with F instead of being some sort of mouse input also makes the game harder in a way that feels unfair.

A cool concept though for sure!

Cool concept! Was way to hard for me though, could not get though first wave. Took me few tries to understand that swapping color to bullet color would heal me. I spent most of the time trying to dodge / avoid everything. Also there is no collision on screen borders. Really liked how the menu worked :)
Visually everything is very clear and simple. Good job!

Creative take on the theme! 

I didn't end up incorporating any strategies like trying to heal with the same-color bullets into play because I was so focused on avoiding. It may help to introduce the mechanics more slowly, so the player can get used to one thing before they need to keep track of other stuff.

The graphics are simple but work really well, I think. Nice job

Nice style. I liked the old school arcade look and feel. I did find the controls pretty difficult. I think mouse aiming would've been a little easier.

Otherwise, cool game. Good luck with the Jam.

I like the idea behind the game but its pretty complicated to understand everything thats going on when first playing. Its also very hard to aim when the firing direction is locked. I would prefer if the mouse could be used to target.

Unique game! I like the idea and the music too!
