Solid all-around!  Good art, music, sounds, and it plays well.  I think there are a *lot* of upgrades for currency for a game so short, you barely get use from them so it's better to just get big damage and movement.  I like how each of the enemies have totally distinct sprites and behaviors, and each requires a slightly different approach, so there's a surprising amount of depth when they're combined in groups.  I do think the final boss is kind of unfair, I don't think there's any way to avoid all that spam so you kinda have to just tank it while you whittle down their health.  I really enjoy the touch of having infinite time at the beginning until you walk forward and come unplugged!  I also like all the tiny buildings - are they far away or am I just enormous, lol?  The rapid fire weapon feels chunky, I didn't like the single shot one that much though it seemed to increase my movement speed while firing instead of decrease, not sure if that's a feature or a bug!

Great entry!

Lovely spritework, puts me in mind of maybe GBA games~
Was pretty fun~  if I needed a few shots at the boss due to not dodging well enough
Nice one

I am impressed by this game! Very well balanced, the gun, the upgrade system, everything felt balanced. I initially wondered why isn’t there a health bar, then I realised time is the health bar :D

The upgrade and retry loop is very addictive! Well done guys.

Well done, very interesting take to forego health as a concept and fully lean on the coundown and delay being the ultimate punishment. Had a good time running through and eventually claiming all the upgrades and managing a full clear run just in time.

One oddity, I think the upgrade to reduce stun from getting hit didn't work. I suppose it may had made it a bit too easy if it had tbh. so maybe for the better.

Can I just say? This game is addictive and I love it! Really love art style of this game as well. Although using X to shoot is really uncomfortable imo, so I end up using K instead, which is much better for me personally.

Great work! Congratulations. Are we supposed to be invincible though? I wondered about that since I didn't die. Overall great work. I struggled a bit with the mapping of the keyboard though, maybe you should put the shot button on E or SHIFT?

Love the artwork for this game! I also thought the enemies were all very well designed and suited the setting perfectly!

I like the game cycle of this game! Doesn’t punish you completely for missing the time limit. The controls are kind of hard at the beginning but I got the hang of it later

Cleared on my 2nd try... but I wanted to enjoy those artworks more, so I cleared again in 30 seconds with full upgrades.

Very well polished! I really enjoyed it.

Very fun game! I didn't notice the background at first but then I realized I was a giant robot stomping over cities finding kaiju, so cool! I loved how at the end I could just mow down monsters.

This game is so satisfying! It just feels so good to shoot and kill enemies. This is one the most fun games i've played.
