The itch link returned a 404 for me

Oops! I forgot to publish it, my bad. Should be up now.

It's a funny game, but a little difficult for me.

Good Job! The most important is that you learned something and have something to show :). I'm sure, that everyone has got more ideas for their games, but they lack of time/skill or other things to implement it, so it's normal i belive. What make this hard is aiming system, which rely on Z/X button, what makes it hard, especially when you have to face the whole army of planes, rocket-launcher men and armored vehicles, so you need to aim and react quite quickly.

Cute and fun little game! I like the explosions and stuff flying around, and the parallax background. I wish the controls were a little bit different though, maybe my brain is a bit stupid but aiming and shooting with the same hand is very hard for me, if aiming was done with arrows too it would've been easier I think. Alternatively there could've maybe been a system where shots go near/far depending on how much you hold the button

Good game, the upgrades feel useful, though I think taking the bullet velocity upgrade is almost necessary due to how much easier it makes shooting down aircrafts. I also wish that the arc updated to accurately show the trajectory of your bullets after getting upgrades.

Thanks for the feedback. I do agree with all your points! (and that trajectory bug... I knew it existed from the first 24hrs yet I never fixed it in the end!)

Nice game! I had a good time playing it! But it would be so much easier to play and I think it would get a better rating and more people would play it if you could play the game directly in the browser. And I think it's a little bit to difficult.

Fun game but a little short in terms of content. I wish there was an option to resize the window. It's pretty small on my monitor!

Hi all, I have some big assessment due in 1.5 days so I've been unable to rate games recently, nor until then.

However, I'll be aiming to rate another ~20 games later on!

I think the game is really cool, but I do think that the projected trajectory was more accurate.

The game window is really, really small on my monitor, so it's a bit hard to play. That being said, it's got a good core loop. While the fast cars are hard to hit before they get too close and the tiny... people? shoot too well to dodge their shots, it's got a ton of potential. With music, maybe some more tank types, and a few balance updates, it could be a really fun game! Right now, it's a good demo for a core mechanic, and I'd love to play it again if you get the chance to revisit it and beef it up a little.

Nice work! This ones actually a lot of fun to play, kept me engaged for longer than I expected. I like the flash style hand drawn graphics as well. Lots of nice little elements and details like running over the people. And trying to shot down the flying heli-craft was a fun part of it, satisfying when you manage to hit them!

Super cool game. The flying of the soldiers made me laugh. The physical movement of the different parts is great and gives the game a certain charm.

Great job!!
