I liked the art and visual design. I feel like the timer didn't do much as a timer, given how the survival and game progress timers were chained to each other. It's little more than a healthbar. I also found the most effective strategy was to turn the shield on and ram enemies. Is that intended?

Banger music. Being able to one tap enemies and asteroids felt really nice. One suggestion is to probably limit the dead time between enemy spawns but besides that the game plays really well. Good stuff here

fun game! having the player upgrade when they die is a genius way to do balancing,,

shooting costing time is also an elegant way to discourage spamming!

The shooting sfx is quite satisfying and I had a lot of fun. I felt the camera was a little bit too zoomed in and I didn't really see the point of the count down as you just had to wait for enemies to come to you anyway. The power ups seem well balanced, and the game works well. Nice job!

Solid gameplay and good audio. As someone already mentioned sometimes there is not enough enemies spawning so you run out of time in the wave and can't do anything about it even if you hit every single thing that spawned and with the time limit fully upgraded. I would love to see more upgrade options. I would also add a parallax background, it would add a lot of depth to the visuals. Still a good game!

Very fun game ! The only thing that I think could be better is the player speed, it's very slow and I would love to move arround more quickly since the shoot is very fun and precise !

It was a very fun concept. I really enjoyed the gameplay and the upgrades after every round where really satisfying. There was only one aspect I had a problem with. The spawn rate. There were rounds I would play and have to wait 10 seconds for the enemies to start spawning, or there were rounds I played perfectly without getting hit, but I'd still lose because not enough enemies were spawned for me to beat, in order to go to the next wave. Since the time is your health, and your enemies are your points to pass the wave, it felt very unfair, because even if you play perfectly, you could still lose. But you have a really good base.  I had a lot of fun maneuvering around enemies while shooting them, and only having one quirk (which isn't even a bug) on a 4 day game jam, is a major win. Good job

Very fun, I like the mechanics and the design of the game

So satisfying and fun ^w^ upgrading and replaying is enjoyable. The sprites are effective and well made. A short but entertaining game Well done team :3

Super fun! Barely scraped out a win with max upgrades. I liked having ammo and health all being tied to the same thing, and the variety of enemies, although small, was plenty for a short jam game. There were a couple times where my bullets felt a bit slow compared to my spaceship speed, mostly when I was trying to hit a moving meteor for ice cream sandwiches. Maybe they could have been tied to the speed upgrade, but all in all, I’d love to play an infinite version :) Great work guys!

honestly is a cool i like it is was litle bit hard but i think i just have skill isssue but i like the game ヾ(•ω•`)o

Didn't find much reason to move around but it was a fun reaction game anyway.

The meta progression is a nice way to fine tune the difficulty so it's not too easy or hard for anyone!

simple twin stick. nothing wrong with that. nice idea tying the timer to your bullets and health.

Well done on UNIDENTIFIED COUNT - DOWN! Nice work getting a playable entry together for the jam. I liked the core idea and the way it fits the jam theme. 

Pretty fun! I wasn't expecting that there would be an ending; I was fully ready to accept that this game would go on infinitely... I didn't even need to use all the upgrades! It took a little bit of time to realize that my wanton shooting was decreasing a second from my time, though

Nice take on the theme! I like that you don’t have to start over if you die, but rather just not get as much money 👍
