This is really fun. It feels very polished and has really good art! I wish the shield did more, it feels kinda useless since you can't attack or anything while you're using it. Also, when the shield deactivates, you can't start charging any attacks, so if you hold down click while that's happening, you'll never fire unless you release click and then click again. I was trying to make as good a use of the shield as possible, but it felt futile. Still really really cool, I like this game a lot, great job!

Thanks for the feedback! I do have a couple things: firstly, if the user were to be able to use the shield while shooting, it would decrease the challenge drastically. Secondly, all you have to do in order to shoot immediately after the shield deactivates is to keep holding the mouse down- it just takes a second (intentionally for more challenge). The shield is most often useful nearing the end of the wave, as more of a last-minute protection, but with more skillful timing it works mid-wave too. I'm glad you like the game though!
