First control changing game I've seen with a controller and it feels quite natural! As others have stated a bit more polish such as sound would've made this game feel even better

Thanks! As you said, I think on a controller it feels natural, and that’s why I didn’t want to add keyboard input: contorting your hands in odd positions to click buttons isn’t fun. Glad you liked it!

I got to wave 7. Beat me if you can fellow gamers.

It is a bit of a challenging game which is fun for me. Maybe try adding a few sound effects in your next game, a tool like bfxr is really good for that. Great job!

Nice one! My best is 6 in all my testing, so you did good! Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to add music and SFX but I ran out of time. Glad you enjoyed it!

The game is pretty fun although only having gamepad support greatly limits the amount of people that can play your game. Next time I suggest making it for keyboards/mouse and have gamepad be optional. Anyway great job!

Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Aside from a time constraint, I struggled to think of a way to implement keyboard support in a way that feels natural and easy to use. It is unfortunate that not as many people can play, but I think it works better this way. By the way, I saw your game in the livestream and it was really fun, nice work!
