Please note that there may still be bugs as the game hasn't been extensively tested. Reporting them would be appreciated! Thanks Guys!

Cool idea, some easier way to select which type your using would have been nice

I'm getting some pretty bad input lag(game not recognizing when I press a key)

Gameplay is pretty neat and allows scoring, but I didn't quite understood the link to the theme

93 ennemies down! I really enjoyed the sounds & music in your game. It lacks a bit of variety, but the principle is clever and pretty fun!

(You missed a perfectly good occasion to make a pun with "earth, wind and fire" though :D)

I like the idea, but it too repetitive after 10 waves. Maybe other follow on players way (like circle or trying to get player from backside) btw, I like this style of game.

Works well, no bugs, fun to play!

If the graphics were to be improved, and spiced up, it would actually be a very good casual game. If you are going to go and continue developing it, then invent some more gamemodes.

Nice game! I felt some oriental mood.

Good concept although it arguable doesn't connect to the theme incredibly well. But the game's great fun and certainly addictive

Easier element switching would make the game much more enjoyable (Maybe something on your right hand so you don't have to leave WASD). Music variety was nice. Fun game.

Nice defender.
Maybe a easy way to change the shoot style would be great.

Originally the switching of bullet type was using the right click of the mouse. However we thought that you'll loop through all types(fire -> earth -> water) so we decided to use 1,2,3 to directly choose. Anyway, thanks guys. Appreciate it. :)

i cant fire or move after pressing enter. type switching works however

Cool action game! Just put the button to change munition type where I don't have to quit wasd to press.

I liked the way enemies swarm at you, and combining action with a bit of thinking to actually use the correct weapon.

Switching the firemode is a bit counter-intuitive though :( I need the left hand for movement already, so it's hard to reach the keys.

Not sure if it's a bug, but... going diagonally makes you move faster. Anyhow, nice flashy graphics, even if more enemy types would be appreciated :)

Really nice game! Loved the music and the idea was great, pretty fun! Don't really like it being 1,2,3 to change, maybe just make it one button to cycle through them? idk, how you have it might add to the challenge. Well polished. Good Job!

Not bad at all. not easy to switch from weapon to weapon while moving.
