This was definitely a cool little game. Loved the overall presentation and the minimalistic art. That said, I thought the colours for the final desert area could've been a little different. The energy powerup's icon and text blended a little too much into it to the point that I almost didn't see the powerup
I thought the concept of the game was cool though, I feel like it really needs some tuning
As an example, I'm guessing one of the main aims here was to have the player need to make a decision about which enemy they should attack first so that they still have enough energy to get to the other enemies. I think that's an interesting idea, but it felt like the game was a little too forgiving on that front. The player basically had enough energy to get each and every enemy without worry.
On that note, I also think it was interesting that some enemies dropped pickups to refill your energy. However, I think it would have definitely helped influence a player's decision making more if it was indicated beforehand that a certain enemy when defeated is going to drop a pickup. Maybe an enemy has an icon above it to indicate that when defeated it'll drop a powerup.
I also think that maybe you could have the enemies also have some sort of behaviours or actions as well because currently, all of the levels in the game kinda felt like the same puzzle in a way.
All in all, I think this is a pretty solid base to make something from here, though it definitely needs more variety and mechanics to really make something that feels cohesive. Good stuff none the less
