Challenging game. I included it in my compilation video series of the ‘So Bad It’s Good’ Jam, if you’d like to take a look. :)

If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
The Game is Literally Impossible

Ha! Brilliant! Definitely So Bad It's Good. Shitty graphics were spot on.

An Adventure HappenI've decided to try using a standard format for all my feedback this time around. Please excuse me if I come across as overly curt or miss something important about your game. I'm writing these all quite hastily as there are a lot of games in the jam this year!
What I liked
The awful graphics, especially in the menu.
The presentation including a seemingly useless menu bar and (at one point) and installer.
What I didn't like
Between the total lack of sound and the (near?) total lack of effects, shooting and being shot has no impact whatsoever.
I'm kind of on the fence about the tutorial. On one hand it's better to have it than not have it, but on the other hand, it explains UI elements that wouldn't need explanation if they were better designed. For SBIG, though, I guess that's fine.
Did I think it was so bad it was good?
Mostly just bad, sorry. The style and rage-inducing difficulty are definitely SBIG hallmarks but the game is just boring and feels pointless to play.
My thoughts on the modifier implementation
It's impossible to win. A straightforward implementation but I'm more into some of the more creative ones.
Other remarks
I used the "F25" version without the installer. Having an installer is a nice touch but is a barrier to entry that some potential players may not cross.
Verdict
Didn't really do it for me, sorry.
If you have any questions, comments, queries or concerns, please reply and I'll do my best to get back to you.

RiftBreakHaving to use an installer for a game jam game is a smart SBIG move. When I first launched the game, my mouse cursor disappeared - I don't know if it is a glitch or not, but it was great as I had to click blindly in the menu. Brilliant SBIG move. Somehow, the mouse cursor was there the second time though.
I rather enjoyed the game itself actually. The laser mechanic is clever.
Hey, and congrats on submitting! This is quite a fun little game, and all the mechanics are in place for a good top-down shooter. I had a little trouble navigating the menu, but I think that a lot of effort has gone into this game, despite the short length.
This is one of the few games I've seen so far that included a dedicated tutorial, which is often forgotten about during game jams. Although there (seems?) to be only one level, I had a fun time playing. Nice work!
