Pretty hard to beat for this old man, but I like the grim art style and the SKELETO-TANK!

I had a really good time playing! Going in, I was kinda expecting it to be mostly a shooter game, but it's really more of a strategy game. I spent most of my time practicing where to bounce my first few shots (the grid paper really helped with this -- thank you!) and then an overly-cautious amount of time at the end of each level ricocheting bullets off the walls to back the last ones into their corner without exposing myself. I may or may not have spent a solid ten minutes backing in the count and the last two pumpkins lol.

Also, the jump scare at the end making me think there was one more level was devious. (But also pretty funny). In your honor, I will start accepting all the cookies when asked.

Really fun and clever idea. I love how the enemies' progress in the level is also their health and shooting them makes them run back. I felt really clever trapping the pumpkin enemies in a small area  and slowly pushing forward.

Unfortunately the same mechanic applying to the player is pretty unfun because losing control over the character feels bad and you can very easily get comboed, especially since it disables your bullets' ability to damage the other tanks, made worse by the fact that your player tank moves and turns fairly slowly so it's hard to dodge enemy bullets.

Still, despite that, I had a really good time and enjoyed the hand-drawn art assets. Great job!
