Cool concept, but very difficult.

Really enjoyable with simple and pleasant graphics. The upgrade balance is done well. While the concept and limitation implemantion are quite simple, they work well.
Lovely game. It is very enjoyable and the art is super and easy on the eyes.
Nice game! I like the graphics! The shooting feels satisfying, nice particle and sound effects. Upgrades seem somewhat balanced too.
Some bugs/issues I found:
- The web version was not scaled up properly, it only showed a small little area at the bottom left
- The double bullets upgrade doesnt stack with accuracy upgrade
- If you have maxed out reload speed you cant die at the end:
I cannot think of too much to say really. You made a quality game that used the limitation almost as stated. Great gameplay loop of dodge and shoot, choose a useful little upgrade, and repeat. I will say that I was caught off guard when I shredded through my time after upgrading to shoot 2 bullets at once, for what appeared to be the cost of 2 individual bullets I think? I was expecting to shoot 2 for the price of 1. I suppose your use of the limitation could have been more innovative or unique, but that is just subjective really. And certainly not a requirement. I really liked the simple pixel art and the pixel perfect rotation of the sprites. Fun lil' game. Keep up the good work!
