The retro aesthetic was achieved I believe:) I was confused at first how to play the game, and found out you use arrow keys to move, but also I had fun dodging projectiles! It's not too bad for a first game- I also really loved the audio track! It also further helps me immerse in the retro theme:) i was also quite surprised with the brown object thing that resizes on the direction you touch it- I assume it was to help get cover? either way it's a nice short game- did you code this without a game engine btw? but either way, I'd say this game did okay :D
