This was a nice concept encountering new enemies as you get deeper, and well polished with the death animations and projectiles to dodge - something I ran out of time to add myself! I was missing some kind of background music but otherwise fun!

Nice game. My only complaint is that there is no auto-fire. But otherwise. Good game.

@substr Thank you for the feedback! It just doesn't feel right if your enemy just disappears after you shoot them (there actually is a bug with the snake exploding that I didn't notice before release). In terms of background music I just didn't have time to add it, but I'll look into adding some (maybe from OpenGameArt) in an update.

@nature-studioz Auto-fire is a good idea, I'll look into adding that! Thanks for the feedback :)
