There are good background and characters. As a next step, making it speed up gradually would be more challenging.

Love the art style and the Halloween theme is a nice touch.

Its a great start, in the future you could make the enemies move gradually faster, or maybe bigger enemies with more health to provide bigger challenge.

A  cool art style would have been nice to see some music as well to add to the atmosphere.

A little bit easy  as a spamming of the space bar is more than enough to make sure you never lose.

All in all though a great working game!

Submitted

Really like the pixel art, just wish it was a bit more challenging by maybe adding some more enemy variants and maybe something to keep you from spamming the space bar like an ammo count.

Nice start!

In its current state, this game is very simplistic and the challenge it provides is, quite frankly, lacklustre but it has a lot of potential and I don't really want to complain.

The Hallowe'en theme was a nice touch so good job for remembering that as well as all the other things displayed in the game.

If I could suggest one thing to change, I think it would be good to have the enemies spawn at random vertical positions and make the candy bowl move up and down to be able to shoot the enemies, to add a level of challenge.

Like I said, good job so far, from what this game shows you have the skills to go far in this course!

The game is a lot of fun to run, and makes me wish there was more of it to play. 

The only thing is that I wish there was more of it to play, and that you had a sense of difficulty in the forms of ammo and you gain them from defeating enemies since you'd have to think about your shots more.

Very cool looking game.

May I suggest increasing the difficulty by adding some moving enemies, so that you have to time your shots. Maybe another mechanic that would stop you from spamming space like a cooldown or ammo count.

Submitted

The sprites are really well made! I'd recommend speeding up the enemies and add a few more to fight!

Thank you and i agree the enemie movement was a bit slow i just ended up running out of time.

Loved the art work, I think the adding music and sound effects would really improve this game, I enjoyed the concept and I enjoyed playing.

Thank you, sound effects and music was something i originaly planed on added however geting some of the other features implimented ran me over time but hope to learn from this game and make better one in the future.

Love the art for the game.

Maybe add some spoopy music?

I really like the sprites and basic idea of the game, but I agree with Jack that you could use a little something to create variation in the gameplay instead of just spamming space, perhaps a rhythm mechanic as he suggested, or perhaps being able to switch between attacks that only work on a specific colour of enemy (although I admit I'm not sure how to go about this with the single control), just something to make the player think a tiny bit.

But in general good work!

Submitted

I like the characters colourful teeth idk why 

also to add a little depth you could throw in a rheum bar or something when you shoot to stop spam, and maybe like a multiplier with cool downs etc 

But yeah nice work
