It’s such a pleasant surprise to see another Godot developer! The characters are adorable, and the movement feels really smooth. It would be even better if you added more feedback effects, like screen shake when bullets hit.

The kitty is very cute ^^ The evil kitty is cute too. Would be nice to have at least some audio track, but understandable. It's a compo entry made in only 2 days, I can see why UI is bare bones and there is no music. However, even a simple tune would suffice!

The visuals look hand drawn with pencils, and I really love that. Gives a special warm touch to the game.

I figured out my abilities slowly, but I didn't feel like obstacles really protected me from enemy fire. First ability seems to just make you start shooting, and then you don't need it, since you shoot automatically from then on. Maybe it could be on cooldown too, and be a bigger projectile. And shooting would just start automatically from the start.

I have to say I couldn't get through the 2nd wave, even after a few tries. Maybe I am just not good, so don't take it to heart. I am sure there would be people who would complete all the waves much easier.

Overall, very cute concept and art!

I just got this screen for the LD version:

Uh oh!

If you're seeing this error, it means I can't find your index.html file.

This usually means you created your .zip file by zipping the entire folder, and index.html is somewhere like MyGame/index.html. If you recreate your .zip with index.html file in the root, this error should go away.

See the embedding guide for more details. ludumdare.com/resources/guides/embedding/

Managed the first wave but not really sure what the abilities do, I couldn't tell what what was healing or hurting me very easily, needs a little bit of feedback or audio
