This game is impressively polished, what with the art, the number of enemies, the multiple islands and the bosses. I really like the aesthetic of the game. The power ups are nice: they feel satisfying to collect and actually make the gameplay more enjoyable.
I think for the most part the difficulty is not too hard and not too easy. Each individual stage is not hard, but making it to the boss fight with enough health to survive is a challenge. The kraken is not that hard to beat, but I haven’t been able to beat the crab yet. There is a lot of replay value, trying to take down the bosses.
As for controls, it seems there are times when the projectiles don’t go to where the cursor is, specifically on the right side of the map at some points.
The lunging birds sometimes feel a little uninteractive, but besides that I like all the other enemies.
I like how different the 2 islands look. I even prefer the look of the second island, which feels like a reward for making it out of the first.
