Looks amazing, hard but beatable well done!!

Quite fun, just a bit difficult, which is not necessarily bad. Liked the art, sound effects and music. The laser and movement were cool mechanics too! I think a nice idea would be more variation in the journey, e.g. the heart.

Very funny game :) I like how you look on the limitation and theme. Graphic and sound perfect fit to the game:) Game is hard, but I think this is balance difficulty :) I like this element of help when you lost and start next try with more mission progress bar. If I can suggest something, maybe you should add some upgrades and a boss :D ?

Thanks! I changed the sprite of the artery walls, so now the movement is more visible.

Nice. Easily one of my favourite games here :D

All this game needs is to reduce the health on EVERYthing and make it more fast paced. Check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

Thanks, your review and recommendation helped me. I made update that increased the stream twice faster and increased laser`s damage. The game just got better!

Good work! i really like the laser effect, was pretty awesome! it was hard to tell if i was going up or down though. alot of the time i stayed still and just shot the yellow balls.
