Good idea and graphics, but I didn't understand what the colored balls were for. Also, the game became monotonous after 150 points, you could have added some new twist to the mechanics!!! :D

You beared with it to 150 points!? It was never intended to last that long lol! Yeah, i had a lot more plans like other enemy types and boss fights but that was too much for me to do in the time period. Thanks for the suggestions though. I didn’t have time for in-game instructions so the colored balls are mentioned on the game page instead. Sorry about that.

I was clicking so fast my bullets were coming out like a hose, that's why it took just a little to reach that amount hahahah

Really minimal graphics, cool concept and great sound! The only issue was not knowing what powerup I got and the speed of the bullets! (too slow in my opinion) But in the end, really cool game! You did a great job, keep up the good work!

I was going for short gameplay since the game is lacking other mobs or bosses, or just anything exciting at all. So between frustrating + short or easy + boring, i chose the former and made the bullets start slow. Thanks for the feedback though!

Edit: I added the powerup effects in the game description. I know it should say in-game somewhere, but i didn’t have time for that.

This was fun to play! I found the controls easy to use and liked the sound you decided to use.  Nice work!

Great Idea for the game. I liked the music and controls of the game. I few points I believe you can add in future:

  1. Smoothness to shooting.
  2. Telling us what color pickup is for what power.

Overall really liked the game!!

I agree. My list of improvements is much longer than that though. I just didn’t have the time to do them. I’ll add the powerup colors in the description, but in-game instructions would have been better.

There are powerups that can drop that decrease reload time and increase bullet speed.

Kind of like with your game though, i just didn’t have enough time to do what i wanted and polish things up. Thanks for the comment!

The only thing I would change is the music volume, but everything else was very good, and also kind of difficult! It was like a challenge to play, nice game overall

Ideally i would have had time to add a volume control instead of a brute-force mute all button. Thanks for the feedback, i’ll take a look at your game as soon as i can.

Was fun... while I lasted!  I get over run pretty quickly, but it is a fun challenge that I enjoyed, and will probably come back to from time to time just to kill a few minutes.
