Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I thought it would be a bit different and kind of play to some of the classic 8-direction shooters. But it would have made things a bit easier to aim and use the mouse to shoot.
That's interesting that you died instantly when you played the second time. I want to say that it was because of the way that I set up the energy system carrying over between levels. I'm sorry that happened though. It's a pretty simple fix thinking about it now.

Yeah, no worries! I have plenty bugs that I see in my games after submitting them, and I'm like "Oh, well DUH, I know exactly what line to change to fix that" haha!
The 8 directional shooter idea is a cool idea though, I've never seen something like that, I think maybe just a bit of guidance could have been helpful in order to let me know I could do that, my first instinct was just to ram things when I couldn't figure out how to shoot.
I still really like the introduction scene, great job on that part ;)
