This feels very polished, looks good and tests your reactions! The effects feel great too. You should have definitely captured the mouse, I lost because I clicked outside the window despite having hidden the cursor. Alternatively you could have made the spacebar be the only way to shoot, I found out only later. The theme is hardly implemented though, the growing tree is just background irrelevant to the gameplay, at least as far as I played.

Thank you very much for the suggestions.
I knew about mouse capturing before, but had completely forgotten about it when I made this game, so I am a bit sorry about that.
Also, I disagree that making the spacebar the only way to shoot would make the game more accessible. On the one hand, it Would make it more obvious that you can shoot with the spacebar, but this would also hinder other players who prefer to use the Mouse Button instead.
And yes, I have just kind of thrown in the theme with no real relevance to the gameplay. I have not done a game jam or anything similar before, so of course I am not very good at thinking creative fast compared to other people.
