Technically, it’s quite polished (using the mouse and WASD would be more convenient than the arrow keys). However, it lacks a bit of visual clarity. You should consider using less harsh colors with more contrast — personally, I had a hard time seeing the blue balloons against the blue background.

I would’ve liked to know how far along I was in the game, because I played for almost 10 minutes and never saw the boss that’s supposed to show up around the 6-minute mark. I died several times, but I couldn’t tell if I was restarting from the beginning or from where I left off, since the XP/balloon bar stayed the same.

Keep it up!

It’s fun and well-polished! I would recommend changing the right-click action to left-click, as that’s what players are generally accustomed to—it felt a bit odd for me. Overall, great work!

Nice game, I really like the aproach "Vampire Survivor" But its in a 2D view, like a 90's shooter. This with more time can by a really over well experience. Graphics needs improve, not in the style, that's nice... But like the background it's heavy pixaleted and when you complete the EXP bar have a transition or something that reward the player. But was a nice experience.

I passed too much time to debbuging the game so asset are minimalists. The BG pixelisation is just the built in shader filter so I will set down after the jam. Thank you for this nice feedback.
