I absolutely love the art and animations. It's minimalist but distinct, with lots of character. The gameplay is a lot of fun, although you definitely need to balance it a bit (between the pickup items not despawning and there not being a limit on turrets, you can cheese it pretty hard). But this could be tuned up a bit and be a really fun, challenging experience!

Thanks! Fun fact though, I've tried drawing a ground terrain/tileset for about 2 hours, probably did at least 10 different types with different colors, everything looked terrible, got annoyed with myself and I said.. that's it .. no grounds! so I just put a collision shape, and tested it out.. and wow, after seeing all the different s*** designs I've made, this one looked beyond perfection in comparison .. lol
After that I worked on it a little bit more, added same background image flipped vertically so it looks like a reflection + a few tweaks and that's the result I got.
I wish I could say I had this in mind all along, but in reality it was just luck/fluke that this happened hahaha
oh and about the balance, yea.. I finally found the bug that prevented those items from despawning.. level design/balancing will definitely need to be fine tuned quite a bit.
Thanks for playing and your feedback! :D
