Good game. Character looks a bit like a certain classic capcom character...

Pretty fun, well done !

The efficiency of your weapon is pretty reliant on how fast you can mash the space button...

When my daughter heard the music, she started to dance directly :). Nice and nervous game, I like it.

Yay, I won~!
The graphics kinda remind me of Megaman, especially the main character, even though I've never really played Megaman 1 through 10. ^^" I got bored with music somewhat quickly, so it's a good thing the game didn't last much more.
Also, I didn't like how enemies damaged me by appearing at my position; I'd like to have some long enough warning time to stay away from them. I got 3 health points at some moment because of that.

Overall, rather decent entry, though not one of my personal favourites.

A nice, short game! I got to the end. I liked the controls, and the waves were just the right length. The only thing I'd change is that enemies spawn on top of you without warning, which didn't seem exactly fair; most of the damage I took was completely out of my control. Maybe the game was tuned that way and it was supposed to feel like that for the experience, but I found it really frustrating.

Thanks for the game!

I really liked the teleport effect but found the timespan from seeing it to being damaged by anything coming through it to be too short to get out of the way. Nice progression through the waves, but tuning the combat a little more would help it be less frustrating.

I think the graphics need more shading / more contrast between the colours and there was a bug that made the player character walk automatically, but otherwise this is a good game.
