I love the idea of the lazers reflecting! I felt that the dashing mechanic was a bit slow and the controls made it a bit hard to aim to the turret. I noticed that whenever you hit the "Try Again" button, it takes you all the way back to the main menu. I think you should have the button reload the scene instead of bring you back so then the player can get right back to action because it is quite annoying when you play with the keyboard and have to go back to your mouse just to restart the game. Maybe you can add a key input, like the return key, to restart instead of using the mouse too. I think you have the right balance for the score system; it encouraged me to keep going when I got the survival points. Overall though I think this is a great game and I had a lot of fun with it. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoy the aesthetics and the gameplay is simple and refreshing. I find myself wanting to dash but constantly waiting for the prefect opportunity to. It's a nice amount of on edge. Music was really skippy in the webgl version but sounded pretty good on the windows version. The windows version also ran smoother and I'm not sure if that's a consequence of using Godot or your game isn't too optimized for WebGL. I feel like a lot of games fall into the pitfall with these bouncing enemy type that the player can just stand in the corner and never get hit, so it was smart to go with an ellipse for the player space. Really fun game and I would love to play a full version!
Thank you!! Yeah, the ellipse kinda came from those really cool physics/math videos, where it shows lasers always passing through the focus points of the ellipse. I was inspired by that, so I made the room elliptical.
About the music, the game engine I used has some problems on Web exports, but yeah, the windows version doesn't have that problem.
Thank you for playing!
Great idea and graphics, gameplay is very fun but a bit hard. Amazing game overall.
cool concept, liked the aesthetics of it the only thing that was weird was the song was getting cut out every 1 second but imma assume that is a problem on my part, overall good game!
Really cool and unique game! It's got that right mix of difficult but satisfying, well done!
This is a really fun game! It's incredibly difficult, but in a good way. One of the only issues I had with it was that I couldn't just press enter to play again, even though I was doing it a lot! The simple art style doesn't hinder the game at all, and instead cooperates with the music to create a cool futuristic-y theme. Well done on this!
Could you rate my game in return?
Maybe you could add the possibility to control the player with mouse.
May you rate my game too?
I love the simple aesthetics. It gets very hard with more than one laser. Also I wish the music didn't restart every time you died.
This simple idea is elegant and well implemented. Anticipating the reflective trajectory of even a single turret is difficult enough, as turrets get added, I'm easily and frantically overwhelmed. But with a single click, I find myself at it again. I can definitely see this getting competitive.
Well done, and good luck! :D
this is a solid simple idea, and it's done well. the visual and audio feedback feel nice and the difficulty feels fair.
Fun game. I really think the game should have sound and music. Also, the grey lines blend in to the background.
