Yeah after playing it a bit more, I myself find the way the lasers interact with the trees a bit confusing and frustrating at points. When play testing, it was wayyy too easy when the player could shoot through the trees, so giving them a hitbox to absorb the lasers helped balance the game. However, it still isn't 100%.
Thanks for this feedback! :) This will help me iterate and improve in the future. I really appreciate it and glad you had fun with this game!
