I like the idea of the game! 
Honestly, the bird running towards me was a bit scary (I normally don't play shooter lol), especially since I didn't really grasp the concept of the combined attack at first
Creative and very serious game :)

That combo with the pen is difficult to grasp. I tried to brute force so I could learn how to reload, but it just wasn’t happening.

The spin combos strangely enough, felt like a Gears of War reload in a way where you have to time it or get punished for a longer wait time

Anyway, nice entry MastrCheef99! 🖊️

I couldn't understand how to play it because it gave me no time to read the instructions since the enemies were attacking me so I couldn't get far and so the game felt unplayable and unfun! 1/5 enjoyment.

There was some use of the them and the game was creative I think again too much was goin on for me to understand so Creativity & Theme gets a 2/5.

The visuals were bad I couldn't read the text and it was unclear what the enemies were or what they looked like their features were too blended in also the text on the note book pen spin instructions were too small! 1/5 Visuals.

The audio was ok I liked the music and the gun sounded like a gun. 3/5 Audio.

This game had no seriousness 1/5 Seriousness!

This game got an 8/25 rating.

The combos were not registering in my end, therefore kept making drop the pen, in any case It could just be a skill issue in my end but I defo was inputting the right commands, generally a neat concept tho.
