Nice work!! Particle effects really bring the simple shapes to life

Bit slow to start, and audio can get annoying, but there are good ideas and it's very clean

I do like this game, and it's definitely a solid foundation for a game. The simplistic graphics, in my opinion, don't need to be updated, and actually really add to the calming experience. Even with the action, everything feels like (and this is probably a strange analogy) I'm just sitting at the bottom of an ocean, just alone and not worrying about anything going on on the surface. Audio is fairly decent, and the theme connection is strong.

@mathstr0fficial thanks for the feedback

Really cool!! Super fun once the game got going. The art style really fits the while .io theme as fun enough to play a couple of times at the least! My only suggestion would be to have a small array point towards the nearest enemy as I got lost a little at the beginning looking for some enemies.

@antztakeover cool suggestion if I had thought of that I would have implemented.

I liked how clearly you were able to convey information, from the ui to the color of enemies. It would be cool if upgrading your fire speed was an option!

Good work. It's pretty simplistic and calm, but the sound effects deter that. you'd need less harsh sounding effects for this be the way it's trying to be. Otherwise it's a nice foundation for a game.

Very neat game. Had fun with it, survived until the end. I didn't understand why I couldn't hit the light blue squares before they hit me...?

@kuro that was a bug I had trouble fixing. It annoyed me to

cool game. i thought the moving environment added to the strategy of the game. the only issues i had were the sound effects and the bullets only going as far as your mouse. other than that, great work!

Fun game, though I would change it to shoot with the left mouse button since that is kind of the norm. It's good that you introduce new enemies each wave. It's also handy that you can sell upgrades to get some health back, although this wasn't obvious to me from the start. When you introduce the blue enemy, all of the enemies start to bundle up into one big blob, making it hard to survive. I would add some code to make sure that enemies maintain a certain distance from eachother.

The gameplay is fun, but lacks a background music to set the mood, and the sounds effects of hiting an enemy and destroying them are just painful.
