The minimalism lies partially in the fact that there are very few images packaged with the game, with everything but the title screen drawn with code.
This limitation also forces a minimalist art style.
Controls: WASD / Arrows - Movement Click - shoot ESC - minimise game window Tab - toggle between click-and-hold or click-to-fire shooting. M - toggle sound on / off
Note: The game was originally released without click-and-hold shooting, which was added after the deadline. If you want to play the original, download the "Without click-and-hold" version.
Click and hold is always nice for these types of games ;) Even if you shoot a little slower than otherwise. Having to click for every shot hurts the finger after a while.
I love the title screen, but don't like how it doesn't really look anything like the game itself. I also like how you don't limit the firing speed, so one can click away(or macro away). I also think you might've put too much HP for the player as it takes a lot of time to get killed in the game. Anyways, good job!
Very plain and monotone. I just was going in circles, and green enemies couldn't reach me. I shot browns when they stopped, they're an easy target, and rare circles were the only hazard. Reached 597 secs and about 40000 score, got bored, suicided.
A functional twin stick style shooter. With some tweaking could be more compelling, but as it is I got bored after a few minutes of kiting the enemies around. Ramping up the difficulty more quickly as well as making the bullets, player and enemies faster would help. I realise it's minimalistic, but games like this need to be "juicy" and give a lot of feedback to feel rewarding - explosions, satisfying sounds, score numbers flying off... The music loop could do with being longer.

Was a fun game and could have played longer as you can pretty easily kite anything, but i lost my motivation mid game! But good job!
