Great overall feel with simple yet challenging gameplay! An interesting take on the theme too with evolving the enemies instead of the player.

This was fun! It made me want to keep playing again and again. The strategy I used was to throw my weapon as soon as a new one came up to avoid the resistances, and to weave in and out of the bullets when I threw to clear a path. I also really liked the weapons with 3 bullets because I could shoot enemies to the side of me. My high score was 42 :)

very cool space shooter. good effects and the type of weapon really adds variety. the throw mechanic is a pretty good idea and the music is also fitting and adds a lot to it. :)

Great idea! The risky throwing move really helps hook me in. A great way of portraying antagonistic co evolution

The difficulty in this game increased a little too fast. And there some invisible enemy bullet glitch, but its not much repetitive.

However, this game is fun and enjoying. I really like the movement and tween of those elements.

You use great effects here XD (particles?). The mechanics are good, and the audio design combines too much with the game.

Congrats!

Yup, the effects are all Particle2Ds, save the lasers which are just Scenes with Sprites! Thanks for playing!

Simple and effective take on the theme, I really liked how it turned out :)

Oh, and throwing the weapon module is so fun :D

Nice concept and fun too

Very clean.  The game has some great originality to it.  It felt good to plan ahead and work out which weapon type to go for whilst ducking and diving.  I liked it a lot :)

It's quite fun! Loved the simple art style, mainly when the colours of the generations starts to mix. The different weapons are great, the shotgun felt amazing to use. The gameplay is very intuitive and fun, but would be nice to have some variation of movement on the enemies. It's a nice Game!

Yeah, definitely agree on the movement of the enemies. I'm hoping to expand on this idea in the near future, so will take this feedback to heart! Thanks so much!

Nice one! I like the throw weapon thing. It was a nice risk-reward mechanic. Super clean design and easy to understand aswell.

I found this engaging and addictive. Great concept.

Oooh, that's a cool concept, enemies getting more resistant to the damage you dealt!

Very cool and fun game! I do wish we had control of when the ship shoots though.

Cool game, I like the evolving enemies. I died very easily, but not sure if that is my fault or the games!

Nice game and liked the feeling and sound.

Shmup are always welcomed!. The evolution being on the enemy, not the player was a nice touch too!

I love how you used the theme in the resistance mechanic. I liked the challenge!

Loved the mechanics on this one. Was super fun to play, really reminded me of space invaders as well.
