I liked this game ! The art style is charming, with the clouds gimmick that hides the enemies. The patterns are interesting and we got a strong replay value. I didn't get far because shoot'em up are not my cup of tea, but I recognize that there was a lot of work and polishing made into this game. Good job !
Here are some thoughts about how to improve your game, don't take it as flaws but just advice on how to make your game feel more polished :
- Autofire : besides preventing the destruction of the player's spacebar, it's also a good way to give more accessibility to your game for disabled players.
- Sound Balancing : The fire sound effect is like repeated many times. I suggest you to just decrease the volume to give more room for the music and other sound effects.
- Add more ambient sounds : Like some wind sound effect from time to time, like when clouds pass by
- More sound effects for enemies : Like when the regular enemy fires at you, or a distinct sound for specific stronger enemies.
