This was a fun entry to the jam!
Theme:
The game did get more difficult because of the less powerups. The only critique I have on it, is that it isn't a main focus of the game. It felt like you could play through the boss fight once and be done with the game. There was no reward to engage the player to play a second time. Which if a player left after the first round of the boss, made the theme obsolete. But I do like the concept of this!
Visuals:
The art looks like a flash game. Nothing wrong with that though. I love the style and it is very cohesive all the way thru. I did wish the player was a different color or popped a little more.
Sounds/Music:
This area was sadly lacking.
Overall:
This was a solid entry, that could have used some additional info to help ensure the player understood the rules of the game. The boss was unique and had an interesting design. It was a challenge to play through the first time, but had little incentive to go through with the second time. Also the shield seemed to lack function, so I was not sure how to play through a second time even if I wanted too. But thank you for joining and showing off your entry! Great work!!!
