I really like the artstyle and the particle effects. I had some issues, where the enemies got stuck inside each other and it was hard to figure out if enemies were dead at first. Fun once i figured it all out though. Maybe some screen shake or punchier sounds would add alot to improve the game.

Really, Really liked this one gameplay is smooth and responsive and i dig the visuals!

A very nice experience! Loved the sound effects, and it really matched the theme. My only feedback would be that it would be nice to see a cursor when playing with a mouse, but assuming that it is intended to be played with a controller, it feels great to control.

Good job!

It would be helpful to see where you are aiming, otherwise great job, especially the concept of the game.

It's very confusing and hard to control without a cursor.But still it's a great game and i really enjoy

well polished game, would liked it if it was more revolved around the theme though as the enemies just floated off the screen and did not make me feel like i was running out of space

It has a nice minimalistic artstyle. The gameplay was also fun, although the player felt a bit floaty at times.

Cool game! I liked the idea of enemy corpses building up and taking up more space! Didn't play very well on my computer, but my computer is pretty old. Graphics were cool too, and the simple audio combined with it gave it a distinctive minimalistic style. Awesome job!

Cool game, very nice.

Hopefully helpful critique: - The firing scheme is getting in the way a bit, especially because the aiming cursor is so invisible.

Nice graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/8T98Y6n8oZk

Clever and simple idea for the theme! Would be great having several types of scenarios that use this mechanics of dead enemies becoming solid

As a big fan of Rez, you have no idea how much I needed this in my day. XD

I would like to suggest one change: a targeting reticle mouse cursor, so it's easier to see where you're aiming.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I did have a cursor thing in the game for most of its development, but I removed it at the last minute—thought it wasn’t needed, but it seems I was wrong. :)

Nice game but as the comments above mentioned, please add the cursor again since it is really useful to see where I am aiming. The art and effects feels relaxing for a shooter game but I really like it.

Very nice game, i liked the graphics a lot, nice sfx, maybe some music would be good but overall a great and fun game, congratulations!

Nice entry! This was a very chill game. Thanks for sharing your game with my stream awhile back. Your game was played around 2:18 into this vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299925225
