The gameplay feels familiar, but it's genuinely engaging. You quickly set a goal — to reach the point where the attack cooldown is minimal and the enemies (the numbers) fall in one hit. For a game made under a tight deadline, everything is top-notch: the graphics, the economy, and the responsiveness.
Some commenters complained about object readability or difficulty finding upgrades, but I think that's just a human factor — everything can be easily figured out on your own without guides and without spending much time.
However, I don't really see the jam theme reflected at all. Numbers sometimes shoot at me, but it causes no harm — I don't have health points, and their shots don't affect my score or costs. So it feels like the theme was added just for the sake of it, without influencing the genre, narrative, or gameplay.

Thank you for your detailed feedback - it is very useful. But we actually started our thinking process with taking the theme as ''Trust no 1'' and Agent 1's sniper mechanic. :D Actually if you fail the sniper minigame Agent 1 steal some of your coins! We had storyboards prepared for the game, but they couldn't be completed within the one week deadline.
