Use of the limitation
The game is a 1 screen roguelike so each playthough is different due to the enemy placement/type and ability choices after each round, there are 4 main very different playstyles that I tried to incentivise (making each playthough more unique), I was going to incorperate the limitation more by having each playthough have a random change to the game but I ran out of time to do that.

It was a funny experience. I didn't know I could shoot at first, so I kept dashing into the blocks and dying. Once i knew that i could shoot the game was more fun :D It was a bit difficult but still fun.

Decently challenging and great mechanics. I liked the numbers and varieties of enemies. Fitting three different functions into the mouse isn't something I would ever think to do, but you pulled it off well!

I liked the variety of abilities too and how they all have some mechanic which matches their thematic name, a super interesting use of the limitation, I wish I'd thought of it :)

The framerate was slow on WebGL but very interesting mechanic and fun gameplay!

Pretty cool gameplay, I enjoyed lining up the quad shots! And I like the nice range of abilities.

Cool & engaging gameplay.  I really liked that all of the ability upgrades were themed after dream-states.
