Short gameloop is an adventage here, it makes trying to beat yourself actually addicting. I really enjoyed this game, well done!

Very nice highscore game ! It was a bit too difficult for me (Especially since you have to go and collect the spare time that you gain, I kept colliding with other enemies which prevented me from going to take them) The visuals were awesome !

Great game and congrats on your first godot game :))

I found this game to be very fun yet quite hard. The rhythmic sound effects and the simplistic artwork give the game a particular charm. There seems to be however some issues with the background texture which is not full screen.

Yeah, I believe there's a problem with certain devices in regards to the size and placement of the elements in the game. It works for me, but my sister reported the same issue with her macbook so i'll have to look into it after the jam is done

Nice but hard game! Had to really focus on trying to progress, but that is fine. Its just that kind of game. Well done.

Really cool concept. It's exhilarating trying to get more time only to be swarmed by enemy projectiles.

I liked the concept. The Shooting Enemy Projectiles were a bit too fast in my opinion, and often resulted in a game over. But hey i could have just shooted at them, so skill issue on my end .xD. Great Game!
