Awesome job on the polish and presentation!
The gameplay was fun but a bit frustrating as if you forgot where the enemies were you had no hope. It would have been nice if you could re light the environment somehow. Maybe add lamps around the map that you can light up if you shoot them. Or maybe give the player a button to briefly light up the map.
IT WAS TOO SHORT !
I had a great time, nice game ! It has a lot of potential to become a full release !
Love the concept, it's hard to put a puzzle + level based game in a high score chasing theme but you've done that pretty nicely! 👏great touch with the whole arcade machine feel, proper JUICY sfx, vfx! This has lots of potential + already halfway there to become a full commercial release. There's so much content you can play around with/add so do consider that :) If you've watched GMTK's what makes a good puzzle video, I got the 'aha' moment when i one shot all the enemies in level 1 hahah overall was a very entertaining experience :)
Thank you for your kind words!
That is a high quality game right there, i really liked its aesthetics so much, but i can't figure out where is the leaderboard?
Thank you!
The leaderboard is actually the moving text in the main menu. If you click around there, you can view the full leaderboard!
Wow, you really know how to get the dopamine flowing! haha
Really cool visuals and lots of juice that made things feel very satisfying.
I only wish that there was more replayability!
Awesome work.
Thank you! I really wish I could make some more levels haha
Super fun! I replayed it a couple of times because I wanted to take the top spot. Barely was able to grab the top spot by only like 15 points lol!
My best score: 116987!
As for feedback, not really much to say. I enjoyed the concept a lot, the combo feedback when hitting multiple targets had some great juice to it, and overall felt really polished. Nice work!
Was it possible to do the hallway level in one shot? The two guys straight ahead were doable, but the one guy off to the side in the bigger room I couldn’t see a clear path to angle it for all three of them.
Thank you for playing! I really glad you enjoyed it!
For the hallway it is not possible, my bad lol. I really wish I could work more on the level
The game just emanates power.
A retry button for each level would've been nice.
Otherwise, great game.
Thank you for your suggestion!
This is just a lovely wee game. Clean, short experience. One of my favourites so far. Good job. But ultimately it comes down to remembering the where to shoot and everyone will end up having the same highscore eventually. I'd randomize the target positions and make it endless.
I really glad you liked it! Yeah, I think randomizing target is a good option. Thank you for your feedback and suggestion!
Excellent. It encourages replayability, the presentation, the sfx and vfx are impeccable, a very good game, congratulations.
Thank you for your feedback!
Great game
Thanks!
Only these few word to describe:
That a very good game with no issues. (and also Head)

Thank you!
Having to try and quickly decide the angles you need to hit during the level start really snapped my focus in (and the music was a solid choice).
I had a lot of fun with this one and basing the gameplay on lighting and geometry was really unique.
Great job!
Thank you very much! glad you liked it!
Great use of 2D lighting. I loved the end-of-level sound it’s super satisfying as the score numbers go up. On the bonus map, I was stuck for a few seconds until I realized it was over and I just had to wait for the shots to disappear, lol.
Thank you! I wish I could add more levels, but here we are lol
Wow, thats pretty great. I love the old tv warped screen aesthetic.
Thank you!
