Super cute! I love the explosion effects. The binary option were and interesting addition, it felt like they allow you to adjust the difficulty which was neat.

I dare not admit how long I spent looking at what I now recognize as the cover image, and wondering why it wasn’t responding.

Once I remembered about scrolling on pages though, found the game and gave it a go. Simple controls, played well, audio settings were a nice touch, and it was easy enough to understand.

The binary choices were nice, but didn’t feel like they had a huge impact. It would be really cool to see each choice come with a downside, like “You move faster, but enemies have more health” or things like that. Just to give more reason to pick one over another. But It’s a jam and we don’t always get time to implement these things.

Overall nice game, fun to play, good job.
