i give very few 5 stars all around but this game deserves major props bc somehow in a week you were able to create a captivating game that, while being a 2D platformer, feels fresh, moves great, looks great and utilizes light in such a way that feels unique and new. I wasn't expecting to see anything nearly this polished after only a week, so the fact that you were able to come up with a game that, in my opinion, is easily releasable today is absolutely insane. I don't have much feedback at all beyond that it's really fun, really hard (in a good way), and plays like a knife through warm butter (that is, very easy to get into). If i was any better at platformers I'd crush fr (i am bad at platformers)
My only thing is that I'm not a big fan of mouse to aim? just because the movement is such a big part of it it can be difficult to align your mouse to the bug location (they are so cute) to shoot while the screen is moving. That's up to you though, really more of a small fix imo and its the only issue I had
you should totally set this up as a speedrunnable game bc it lends itself to that genre of gamer very very very well
great work 11/10 :)
