Awesome use of simple mechanics and really polished. It's really hard but super fun! I like the simplistic art as well. I think the strategy is to circle the enemies in small mode then when they are grouped together, you mow them down in the large mode. :D

I liked the balance in this game, each form has its pros and cons. Overall pretty enjoyable gameplay!

Cool game idea !

I had a lot of fun trying to reach the last wave, but I still have a bit of a hard time controlling my character near the borders, maybe it is because the recoil is a bit too strong of my default movement speed a bit too slow ? But also it is what it makes the game difficult and fun so .... I may just be bad :D

Good job on this game, loved it :)

Cute game! Simple but very well made and very polished. The game reminds me of "Just shapes and beats" but that might just be the color scheme. Good job, this is one of the few submissions that feels like a complete game!!!

Perfect example of a simple concept polished to perfection. I had a blast balancing damage output with avoiding the spikes as I was constantly sent hurtling towards the walls with every burst. I can tell there was a lot of care put into game feel, as the stretching of enemies as they take damage, and the screen shake on kill go a long way to making every action feel extremely satisfying.

Really good use of limited assets to get a well defined style. The gameplay was fun! Good submission

You got a lot of graphical mileage out of primitive shapes, love to see it! I loved how every mechanic felt like it was multi-purpose. 

  • I need to shoot enemies to destroy them so I don't get overwhelmed -- but I need to be mindful of my position whenever I shoot.
  • I could use my own recoil to move more quickly to get out of a jam-- but not too much because I might run into a wall. 
  • I could shoot-to-shrink to squeeze through a gap-- but not too much because then I can't shoot at all.

Everything was on this very delicate tightrope. Very nicely done!

you can never go wrong with a good topdown shooter, and the recoil combined with the playerscaling in a really nice touch. Mabey have it increase the recoil the smaller you are, and have less when you are big?

Be sure to check mine :)

Keep it up.

Simple yet effective design, I like it! Also very nice feedback/juice! Good work and enjoyable game!

The art style of this game is pretty simple but really unique. One of the most important things is that it's super fitting to the core gameplay, which is SHOOT TO DE-SCALE. Well done!!!

Very stylish and enjoyable. I could not get over 18 waves remaining, but I loved how I kept better and better at gameplay. There is clear skill progression involved and I love it. Also I'm a sucker for minimalist games too =)

Great little game

Great game.Unfortunetly you don't shoot exactly in a direction of a cursor, but it isn't a big problem.

Overall really good. More detailed feedback in dms.

Honestly really good game ! I found it difficult to move as i'm an azerty user so there should be an option to change keys of movement, also there was a bit of problem in the main menu as i had to go higher than the button to click it, otherwise i really like the game and it was really fun and enjoyable  :)

Pretty fun little game! I liked how you used the scaling theme, that you have to shoot a bunch to get smaller and avoid projectiles is cool. I also liked the variety of enemies! Overall, great entry :)

Submitted(+1)

Does not very use the scaling theme, but the dual purpose of the shooting is very cool! I felt that the skill ceiling is high in this game
Beated only 10 waves personally

Super cool idea, great style and gamejuice. But I hate you for making those annoying little shooters
