Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the style of the game and its gameplay! :)
To be honest, the final section may feel clunky because it was my first time making that kind of gameplay. I think the bullets' inconsistency is due to the maximum amount of 3 bullets on the screen, which is totally intentional!
Finally, I started this game from scratch, but when I started having problems with the code I reused some mechanics and code from some of my other games (including games that I scrapped, which is always nice!). The bear is totally original, I don't remember why I added it, but I don't regret it haha!
Thank you again for the comment! I really appreciate it! :)
