How does your game fit the theme?
By clearing waves of enemies, you have two control options for each action, but with each wave of enemies you clear, you lose access to an option. You may start the game by using WASD to move, but by wave 6, be forced to use WADownRight, turning the game into a action packed game of keyboard Twister!

Very entertaining game! It's great to see that controls are actually lost only in one side, so it makes the game always playable. I'd love to start every wave at a neutral position as I was being killed from time to time, but overall I truly think this is a great project, excellent consistency in the presentation.

Nice game!

The controls are kinda difficult to master.

Nice game! Graphics and audio are good, and the gameplay as well. The problem is that with some keys (like shoot), if you lose them, you can't win anymore (Or maybe there's a way around that? I don't know). The text was also offscreen on my computer, but that could just be me.

Still a cute game! And a title screen and everything of course, well done inonly 2 days.

Losing Control(s)

Thanks for the feedback daanolav! The game was designed so that you should always have a key for every action on either side of the keyboard. So if you lost Space to shoot, you would still have Right Ctrl for the rest of the game, for instance. So I may have a bug, or I may need to make instructions/rules clearer.

Regardless, thanks again for playing, glad you liked it!

Wait, what? You can use right control to shoot? Let me try that...

Oh, maybe I get it. Is that on the right part of the screen? It could be that my computer just cut the right part of.

Yes, the mirror of the WASD layout is on the right side of the screen. You can see the full control list in the How To Play section of the main menu, but the game will still be tough without being able to see which keys on the right side of the HUD are disabled. Sorry it's getting cut out for you!

Ok, I had some problems like this with other games, where the sides were cut off. I'll make my rating a bit higher I think.
