This game is visually stunning, especially for a game jam entry! I really liked the mechanic where the weapon’s range increases based on how long you hold the attack button — it adds a nice layer of strategy. It might be helpful to add a visual indicator showing how much the weapon is charged. Also, it could improve pacing if the points collected in each chamber were automatically added to your total at the end of the round, even if you don’t manually pick them up. This might help smooth out the slow start since you only have a limited number of points to upgrade early on. Overall, you’ve made a great game — congrats!
I’d love for you to check out my game as well if you are up for it. Thanks!
