I would have added some health. I usually die right away because it takes some time to get used to the game so I spend more time restarting the game than learning how to get better at it

As already mentioned, reload to restart the game is a real pain. It was fun at the begin but the game gets boring quickly since it's quite monotonous (lack of diversity in enemies and ways to play). Drop the player in the middle of the cross is not good to but the controls are easy to get. The core idea of the game is nice but I think that this mechanic could be polited too. At some time in the game I was hiting WASD and also moving and clicking with the mouse whithout paying attention to the bar and I could get pretty far with the score.

Fun! In the heat of the moment I sometimes forget who is controlling what. In any case, when you lose you can always blame the AI.

Hey there! Thanks for your feedback; tbh, I personally ran out of steam somewhere mid-jam so where there could be some polish applied (like said restart button) instead was just a void of, well, no polish. Still, though, it's useful for further developments :D

It had some fun but the auto movement always took me towards the center, which was a little annoying when going for the powerups on the outside. Also yeah, adding a restart button would be appreciated :)

makes you quite mad when the person walks into the ghost/demon things.  Decent top/down shooter but needing to reload to replay is a pain.
