The game is certainly rough around the edges but that's to be expected in a game jam.  I like the concepts but the project may have been a bit ambitious for the time frame.

  • The shop didn't seem to do anything for me (This may have been a bug?)
  • moving the character feels stiff (I think the game would have been fine just locking the character in place)
  • By moving in any one direction for a few seconds you can guarantee that all enemies  approach from the same side
  • you can just spam click to spawn enemies and immediately shoot them for points (maybe make missed shots not give points?)
  • there is no reason to ever aim close to the player, the shots may as well have had a set distance
  • the music is a bit loud (but it's better to be to loud than to quiet)
  • and all the UI/menus look blurry
  • when you die many particles are spawned lagging the game
  • The background gives no sense of movement (just needs some pattern instead of a black screen)
  • credits have no back button meaning your stuck

I know this sounds like a lot, but some of it is just nitpicking.

That being said I don't think this is a horrible game. You have a working game that fits the theme of the jam.

  • The shooting works well
  • The particles look good
  • Screen shake is never bad (might have been a bit much tho)
  • the menus all work
  • Controls are shown to the player
  • I like the concept of missed shots becoming enemies
  • There are sound effects

Overall completing a game at all is an accomplishment and something to be proud of. (Only 3 out of the 10 people that entered this jam submitted something)

Great game! I liked it, and I disliked a few things. 

What did I like?

- The score, and the high score.
- The mechanic of shooting.
- The shop store.
- Camera shake.

What I disliked?

- Splash screen looks so low resolution. 
- The UI looks so bad.
- The main menu has too many colors.
- The main menu' font is not the same as the game scene' font. (It looks bad)
- The main menu looks messy. 
- Hovering over the buttons and clicking on them, the colors of these two look so bad.

What I suggest to do?

- Change the splash screen with a better-looking one.
- Use the same font for the main menu and the game scene.
- Use fewer colors in the main menu. White color for the buttons, and the different color for the game title.
- Change the color of the hovering over and clicking on the buttons.
- Remove the reset and controls button.
- Move: Play, shop, credits, and quit button to the middle.
- Set the navigation of the buttons to none.
- Enable the dialog of the game for editing the settings of the game, (Fullscreen, quality...)
- Turn off resizable window.
- Make the canvas scale with screen size.

I hope you found this helpful! Keep going and never give up.
