I could play it for hours :smile:
Art style reminded me old telephone games!
Nice work
What I liked: interesting mechanics, nice music and artwork.
Where I think the game can be improved: the game is fairly easy, gradual acceleration would be a nice addition.
Overall good job!
[The highscore number on screenshot is intentional. I am so much adult :)]
The screenshake after any bullet lands got old. The game didnt really ramp up difficulty so I stopped playing, but great job making a complete small game
Great music and overall audio , You nailed the simple to pick up hard to master vibe , and what an awesome way to incorporate the theme to make for a core game mechanic focused on procedural content !
Excellent work !
Great entry!
On one hand, I love the minimalistic control scheme where the mouse controls both the aim and the movement. And it certainly works well enough, and it's such a core mechanic that it's easy to accept. However, it is a bit annoying in practice, it is very hard to aim close to yourself, or aim "intuitively" without moving. Maybe I would have preferred to play with a more conventional arrows + mouse aim setup.
Nice art and music.
I wish there were more sound effects, for example when you're shooting your gun.
Thank you!
