Playability:
The camera angle makes this feel a bit weird but otherwise it played great.

Theme:
Fit the theme great! Having an audience watching and interacting is a nice addition to this genre.

Cleverness: 
Really hoping to see something unique in terms of mechanics or powers when it comes to wave based survivals. Keep cooking on this!

Artistic Style: 
Kenney makes some great assets and you guys utilized them well.

I really like the style as well.

I like the variety of enemies; you could move around and just dodge everything, but you couldn't do it mindlessly.

I took me a while to realize that they enemies were dropping hype orbs, so they might be a bit bigger. I notice the sluggishness as well.

The interactivity of the crowd was nice, either giving you gifts or giving you bombs.

Love the art style and character design! I would like to see more weapon variation in the future, like what we can see from the enemies. Aiming is quite difficult, I think this can be fixed by having the camera angle look down more and across less.

Pretty neat 3D shooter. Gets very sluggish at times, especially as more things are on screen. Gun seems somewhat unreliable, as bullets shoot all over unless stationary. Mobs dropping hype incentivizes going in, but the bullets going everywhere is a problem.
