Nice game, not enough frames of invulnerability when teleporting.

Nice flocking behaviour, really dynamic. But it was quite hard, and I was restarting constantly. Maybe more then one life would help, as constant restarting takes out of engagement.

Yeah I definitely made it too hard, maybe three lives would be nice if I update it. Thank you!

This is a pretty good game! Good Job on it, it felt pretty unique.

I think it would be better if you could control how far you teleport or it tells you where you will be but other than that it was a cool idea for the limitation

Oop, I guess I didn't make it clear but you teleport to your mouse cursor when you right click, maybe if I draw a line between your player and the cursor as you teleport it will be more clear? Thanks for the feedback!

Super cool game. I even found myself creating a (mediocre) bot for it haha, which you may or may not interest you. The enemy movement is super cool to watch, nice work.

This is SO COOL! Haha thank you for playing and especially for making this bot, how exactly did you do it? Python, screenshot, click on blue? Or something else?

Using Rust, but otherwise dead on the money. Grab a screenshot; find and group nearby blue pixels, so that I get one screen-position per enemy, rather than a 100 haha; then queue up some clicks for each enemy position, making sure there is enough time between clicks otherwise bullets won't spawn for whatever reason.

You're game has a very professional quality to it, especially with the menu and sounds. I'd love to see this concept explored further in some capacity

Just in case you're interested, the maximum fire rate should be uncapped now that I have fixed bullets colliding with themselves. Your bot should be able to survive forever now if you increase its fire rate :)

I wish I'd given more time to balancing, I think it could definitely  use some difficulty modes or dynamic difficulty. Thanks for checking it out!

An interesting shooting game! Deciding when to teleport is challenging.
