Really love the artstyle in this, it fits the theme really well and looks sharp, alongside the little intro story in the beginning they both look realy good and adds character to the game. The gameplay is tense and enjoyable. A few critiques with the game would first be with the ui placement of the player lives in the middle area of the screen. Alsothe green missle power up rockets get stuck on the van and push the player about when firing. Other than that enjoyable game good job.

Thank you very much for the compliments Yerduso, we really appreciate that.
I agree, the UI placements as well as power up timing could definitely have been bigger, a fix for the collisions with the projectiles would definitely make the game more enjoyable. In future I definitely think we need to allow for more bug testing as well as have more people on the bug testing. I would also say it would have been nice for the animations to have been slightly smoother as well as more variations for certain actions.
However I think for the majority of the team I am happy with the amount of time and effort they put into it and think that we came out with a fairly decent game, well done to the rest of my team. :)
in terms of the collisions it was unfortunate error that got through until the last day of testing to do with the way the rigid bodies were interacting which is something I personally will remember when doing projectiles in future as it does disrupt play quite heavily. Also the health UI for some reason would reposition on building the game while the rest of the UI did not which I could not find how to fix
