Very neat game! I liked the concept! It was addicting to play and I appreciated the inclusion of the power-ups a lot! Wish it was a little bit harder/faster paced though personally :D

Incredibly cool take on the theme, at first I was confused why the window was so small and then realized it resized itself the more you shoot which was so unique I was not expecting anything like that to happen, I love the face changes when you shoot it, it adds so much more depth to the game and the music was really nice as well, I liked the scrolling background too the game was just so clean and unique. Great submission!

Good Work! Love how the game window itself shrinks...

maybe make the game more fast-paced because it is very easy and pretty boring to play. i dont know if this issue happended in windows but right now im playing this game on linux using WINE and when the window shrink it shakes. it's very annoying. by the way very cool idea and i love the scrolling backbround. good job!

I really liked the idea, the music was great and the execution was also mostly good, but I think it scales in difficulty far too slowly. I know it's generally good for game jam games to not be too hard, but with survival games lower difficulty means playing the game takes longer, and it did get boring later on, so I ended up quitting before I actually died.

Very unexpected. Reducing the window as a health indicator is cool. The control is extremely clear. I liked it.

This is one of two games I've seen on LD so far that have the shrinking application windows as a gameplay mechanic. The other is...

And both are excellent.

That's a super creative take on the theme! I liked the clean graphics, and the music was a perfect fit, too!

Man, what a cool idea! I was first trying to resize the window with my mouse, but when I realized what's going on my mind was blown. Using the window title bar to extend the UI was a nice touch.
Nice visuals, the background enemy is cute and effects look good.
It gets really fun after like level 20, when you actually start to require the window extending powerups.
Good job!

Nice idea and good execution. Would have liked a bit more enemy variety, or for enemies to "persist" when outside of the window, as just shooting in mostly 1 direction basically despawned all of them. But the idea was very good and on theme. Next time rate more games yourself to not be in the "Danger" category with only 1 day left!
But the idea is clever and the gamefeel and music were great! Nice work!
