you should've made it so you would start moving as soon as you click and then stop to shoot when you detect another input. that way the movement would be way more responsive. also the sfx is too harsh imo.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, numblur. The movement logic you advice sounds good... I should definitely try to implement it... However, all changes to the game can't be uploaded until the game jam is over. Thanks once again for the feedback :)
