Also, did you know you can play this with an Xbox 360 Controller?

I think you did a great job given you had only three days. I like the movement and shooting, especially how you mixed it up with moving targets. One thing I noticed is that there's no penalty for missing targets. Having an incentive, such as having to hit all targets to progress, would make the game much more fun and any challenge more meaningful. Also, I could fly straight up off the screen to the end. Essentially, the game can be beaten just by holding the up button for 25 seconds. This game was a really cool idea with a lot of potential. I'd love too see what you can do with more time. Keep up the excellent work!

I dont how how to make penalties for missing the bullets, though i might add it in the mobile version.

Nice to see a fellow Gdevelop user :D It's a good concept it needs some polish but this is the way. Keep going

A health system and it would be good to go! the controls could be WASD instead of arrows. i like the No UI look, but something to tell the player about what's happening might be nice!

Interesting idea, certainly fits the theme of the jam. 

In my opinion, the gun could use a cooldown or limited ammo to make the experience a bit more challenging, you can just spam the trigger and cover the screen with bullets at the moment. 

I'm a sucker for minimalist looks and this one is bang on, now it could use some more variety but it's definitely a good concept.
