I've played a bunch of games this jam in which you only have one bullet and this is easily my favorite so far simply because of the ability to pull the bullet back towards yourself. It is super satisfying to kill an enemy with the bullet returning to you. My biggest complaint would be that it is annoying to have to restart the entire game on failure. Either checkpoints or more procedural enemy spawning would help a lot.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your complaint. The pacing is still too fast. I would have loved to implement a small countdown before the start of each wave and the checkpoints are a nice idea. I wish I would have started programming before Sunday, I really could have used the Saturday :D
But as a major lesson for my first game jam here, I learned that I should take a day leave before the GameJam so that I don't feel tired from the work week (which is already programming for me) and loose my motivation on Saturday. I was almost giving up but Sunday got me hooked again and now I'm really looking forward to more game jams.
Thanks for the constructive feedback, this motivates a lot.
