A short game, but the art was great, and it felt good - nice job!

(I also appreciate the linux export, cheers!)

Pixel art is really nice! However, it needs a hotfix. I get a Game Over right after pushing restart button

I took a long time to understand what I was supposed to do, until I accidentally walked to the edge of the screen and discovered there was a switch there. Once I found out what to do, it was really easy. The restart function failed every time too, so I had to keep reopening the game. I do enjoy the art but aside from that there's not much to it...

Great looking game, but I had some technical problems also. Kept dying as soon as I reset, then it crashed every time I died. Nice graphics!

Good stuff:

Your attack felt super powerful, through a combination of the long start up time, the imposing sound effect, and the large, intimidating, detailed pixel art. The angels' attacks struck a nice balance of being tricky to avoid without seeming unfair in any way. The music was outstanding in adding a moody ambiance fitting nicely with the game's tone. The pixel art was also impressive, and nicely fitting thematically.

Areas for improvement:

A start menu before the game started could have been nice, so that player can start when ready but not do anything before the angels spawn. A couple more animations along the lines of the attack would have really made the game pop-- an animation for the angels dying in particular would have really made your attacks feel even stronger. Some more clarity involving what the switches did could also have been nice.

Overall:

There's definitely a core of a game here, particularly relating to the fantastic, moody presentation. A little more mechanical depth and you'll have a fantastic game!
