great take on blood bros and similar gallery shooters.
survival was really fun and exciting and scoring mechanics are well thought out.
I like the strict timer and stopping movement for scoring
music was great and art was good and charming.
IMO the recticle shouldn't move at all when you move,
I get that its a fast way to get it to the other side of the screen, but I have to reposition it every time I move which makes it annoying.
also it shouldn't stop you from shooting if you don't have enough charge.
slide works a bit weird, maybe holding slide and then a direction could be better like someone said in the comments, but maybe I just need to get used to it.
I would change the blue hitbox color to be something else, even if it looks like a police siren, but uniform is also blue with blue enemy bullets too.
pink bullet color is a bit similar to shot and explosion color lowering bullet visibility.
a random (maybe bad) idea, but running out of time with a lot of lives feels bad, so it could add 1 second per life to the clock when you run out of time.
anyways, amazing caravan game with really fun survival too.
