Let's get the negatives out the road first.

 I think that the player movement was a bit slow, making it hard to dodge the thousands of bullets flying at you while simultaneously shooting and picking up the corrupt files.  The collision detection was a bit weird, sometimes I'd get hit by a bullet but it wouldn't register, and other times it does. When an enemy hits you with a bullet, you don't get a short amount of invincibility time, so if one bullet follows behind another, its an instant game over, with no time to react. I managed to reach the boss but then not long after a bug came and killed me instantly, perhaps you should have made it so that they only take off one heart and then die.

Okay, now with that out the way, let's talk about the things that I really liked about the game. 

I love how you took the theme, I think it was really unique and I loved the idea behind it. The game was very challenging and fun too, I think you had the difficulty balance was just right. I liked the games music and sound effects, it fitted the gameplay and artwork nicely.  I also loved the inclusion of controller support, the game felt great to play with one! (I used a ps4 controller).  I found the joke at the start about the new virus known as the "coronavirus", I thought that was quite funny. 

So overall, what are my thoughts on this game? It was fun, unique, and I definitely enjoyed my time with it! Well done!

Thanks! About the player movement, the player speeds up once you level up. The collision shapes are tiny - you have to use the focus ability to see them (I should have made that more clear.) Also, the invincibility time is a good idea - if i continue developing this, I'll be sure to add that! I wanted the virus enemies (the bugs) to be more dangerous than the normal corrupted files are, but maybe you're right - it is sometimes a bit frustrating. My teammates helped a lot- I can't take all the credit. And yeah, I know playing with a controller feels great! I playtested mostly with my Xbox controller. I just randomly thought about the corona joke and had to include it xD.

Oh, I see! I honestly had no idea what the focus ability was for, so I never ended up using it. If you do continue developing the game, you definitely need to make that more clear, because during my playthrough I never used it once, I just thought it was a feature that wasn't finished, because all it did was slow me down and made me more vulnerable to bullets xD.

Oh. xD

Yeah, I should definitely make that more clear. Thanks!

I made it slow you down as well so the player doesn't just keep on using it for the whole game
