Great game, very funny concept  a lot of bullets - hella nice!

Simple visuals, solid music - i like it.

As a small feedback i think slide after end of move is no needed, it gives vibe of no control for a moment.

Overall game with character and very nice! Good job.

Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Overall: โœจ This was an interesting idea. The concept was intriguing, and I enjoyed exploring the mechanics. Great job overall!

Fun: ๐ŸŽ‰ I had fun trying to figure out a way past the enemy cactuses to get to the other side. Dodging the needles was challenging, and the boss cactus devil wasn't damageable for me, but the game kept me engaged.

Visual: ๐ŸŽจ The visuals were minimalistic but consistent, which worked well for the game's style.

Audio: ๐ŸŽถ The audio was ok and didn't detract from the game experience.

Theme: ๐Ÿ“š I did not see the theme of "consequences" implemented in the game.

Other feedback: For movement, setting your Rigidbody to Vector3.zero when there's no input would prevent the cactus from sliding around, or you could increase the friction. Loved the tutorial—it definitely helps players learn the game quickly.

Great job overall! ๐Ÿ‘

Cool concept! I did feel that the player projectiles might be quicker, but overall nice execution. 
One weird bug I had was spikes remaining after I died and respawned. My health went below 0 :D

Fun concept and a solid implementation.

Comments:

  • A bit slow for my taste, I would have preferred faster character movement or perhaps a dash mechanic
  • it would have been nice with more feedback when you hit an enemy, I'm still not sure if all enemy types could be killed :)
  • since the spikes where so thin it was a bit hard to see which direction they where flying at times.

Good job though!

Seems like I've some strange issue in the browser such that the aiming is constantly dragging downwards x_x

Interesting and relaxing game! The view angle is a bit strange for a third-person shooter. It blocked my slight. But overall it's a fun mini-game!

Could not beat that final boss, having the spikes stick to the character was pretty cool!

Made it to the end!

It was quite painful to see needles sticking to cactus's body though..

I liked the idea of smooth cactus. very cute!
