Nice start! I included it in my GameDevNetwork: Gooseberry Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Gameplay feels basic although I sense a little bit of binding of isaac here. The theme didn't really come through as well. Still, the bloomy graphics were nice!
cool foundation for a game here. I never found any power ups or anything, or was able to beat the boss. not sure if there is anything after that?
As said some enemies are on top of you when entering the room, and the same thing happened with the boss.
I think with some more enemy types and some particles on the bullets and stuff when you hit someone, it would add a lot to the game.
I like the neon art style tbh.
Making that post-jam version is a good idea, because right now it feels like a crude prototype of something much better it could become. In my opinion this game really needs some kinds of power-ups/upgrades or other clever ways to make you feel like you are progressing. Maybe somehow related to killing the smaller enemies (better upgrades through kill multipliers/drop chances/something else?), because currently there are no incentives to kill them as you can just run past them to the next doorway (those ideas are just off the top of my head).
The overall visuals are really cool, but something needs to be done to the shooting audiovisually. At the current state it just doesn't feel satisfying (imho). You should also consider making the game more fast-paced, because otherwise it can get boring faster due to the lack of content.
This won't run on Windows 10, but does on my Window 7 desktop. Nice graphics, slightly obscure gameplay. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be doing in the game ... is it just a maze that I have to get through alive? Do I get weapons at some point to use against the red blocks?
Hey sorry for the long response time, I'll look into the Windows 10 issue but it was working fine on my machine which is running it. I ended up being really pushed for time which ended up with me rushing alot of the aspects, the end goal is just to survive as long as possible. Weapon upgrades were intended but I ran out of time :( Thankyou for playing!
