The little orange guys are so cute. Your game is pretty hard but it's very fluid and easy to control.

I like it! I think it was even better due to the fact that I accidentally clicked the link without reading your instructions. Was the mechanics were really intuitive so I managed to pick it up quickly. But then it got so crazy with those enemies haha. Nice work!

Great game, I really like the way the umbrella functions as both melee weapon and shield.

I like how intuitive yet novel the umbrella mechanics were, but it did seem very hard to master handling such numerous and speedy mobs of enemies with a mere melee umbrella :).

There's a very fun idea here! The difficulty ramp up is tough though!

It is sooo hard! :D I got overwhelmed quickly. I think you should have made the umbrella reflect the projectiles and not just absorb them because the switch between attack and defend is too slow for such a fast paced game. But other than that good job :)

graphics and animations are really nice! It gets a little crazy after a while.

I think it will be better if opening the umbrella will repel the enemies a little bit to give you some breathing room.

It's cute, and I like the shield mechanic! The difficulty could be tempered, if you want, by reducing the projectiles' speed and rate-of-fire, and increasing the speed of the umbrella (both unfolding and swinging.) But some people like their games hard!

I really like the idea and graphics (trails!), but no win/points make this game little bit boring.

Huh, that was a lot more fun than it initially appeared. I loved the difficulty ramp as well. It was a very satisfying experience. I think being able to keep track of some kind of a high score might be fun too. Great job!

Nicely done! Kind of hard though.

I liked how you had to balance using the umbrella both as a weapon and as a shield. Really fun and challenging game!
