Definitely the best looking and most artistically creative game I've seen so far in the jam, it looks awesome! As others have mentioned, some nice 80's synth music would be a nice addition, and I found the movement and aiming both being on the mouse a little difficult, paired with the enemies having a longer view range than the player.  Great entry though, definitely a stand out of the jam!

Classic run and gun gameplay!!

This is a great looking game, you could really up the 80s-ness of it with some retro music and crazy effects on the screen.

The movement and shooting felt a little glidey at times, and I found it difficult to avoid in a direction and aim to shoot with the same mouse direction at times. Apart from that this is a solid submission, great job!

Looks great, controls are pretty good, and i like the SFX. This game just needs a bit of extra juice and a cyberwave or similar soundtrack to go along with it and then i'd have no complaints!

Interesting art direction, really like the consistent look! I kept naturally wanting to hold LMB and keep moving towards the mouse… but I had to keep clicking instead. A simple improvement would be to check mouse holds rather than mouse presses.

But pushing further, the mouse controls might not have been the best fit for the run and gun level design. It’s hard to make dodging projectiles enjoyable when you cannot move around and shoot at the same time. Besides that, great looking entry with pleasant colors!

Wow, this game sure looks unique.

My only two points of critique would be:
1) this game really need some background music
2) the controls are wack
It would be much better if the player could move using WASD - with LMB one can dodge the bullets just as well, but has to click all the time + drag the mouse between two places - where one moves and where one shoots, which is kinda annoying.

Also, it would be nice to add some kind of miniboss to the game? Idk.
