This game is pretty fun. I liked the balance between weapon effectiveness and enemy waves, I had to really micromanage my shots and character placement to feel like I was driving them back. The art is nice, although I'm not sure why a teenage Cyclops from X-Men is doing the splits and protecting this planet :grin:

The bombs were meh for me - when the challenge ramped up, it seemed I had unlimited bombs to clear the screen and get new powerups I think it would have been more fun and challenging to maybe make the powerups stronger or longer lasting, and then dramatically limit how many bombs you have and how quickly you gain them.

I eventually self-limited my bomb usage and finally lost a bit over 100,000 points. Thanks for a fun game!

Thanks for the review!! There's a bunch of stuff I didn't think of! Sadly I ended up being too limited by the framework to add even the stuff I did think of... But I'll keep it in mind if I decide to expand on this game!!

Hey! Nice game. I felt very little to stay engaged with shots when one tap re-orients the firing angle. No need to drag when you can just tap an incoming bug and the lasers instantly take it out. Perhaps needing to drag it may fix that, but I'm unsure that would make it more fun haha In any case I really liked how you made the life system; that the planet died a little every time it was hit. Regen is a great match to that system. Cute!

Cool little game. I liked the graphics but the sounds could've been better. Solid gameplay as well, the difficulty rose at a good pace.

Thanks for the reviews and for trying my game! I wondered about the reorienting control as well but in the end I had too little space to do anything about it... And yeah, testers kept telling me to at least add music but I didn't have time for that either ;;
