Movement felt super smooth so super good job with that! Enemies are a little hard to aim for, but had fun collecting orbs and attempting to shoot them none the less!

Great job on the movement. It was a pleasant surprise when the game turned into a bullet hell/cat & mouse game. I also really like the color choice and aesthetics used in the game. Great work.

Great idea, and laid out really well in a humourous way

3264 points. nice work! I had lots of fun with this game, though a never really used the green orbs.

Pretty gun! I like the audio and general art style!

I did run into a few things, namely that you move really quickly going diagonally and can out run everything. Since score accumulates with time, this seems to be the best strategy. Also, the keys seem sticky, for example if you move up and left, and then just hold up, you still move up and left until you either go the opposite direction or release all the keys.

Overall, was a fun game! Good job

pretty fun! very minimalistic but the movement and mechanics that are here are fun and i can enjoy playing it — i'm a bit hesitant to rate the audio though since it's just 'above all' by HOME

Very neat game, everything is well rounded and polished off! Had quite a lot of fun playing!

Minimalism FTW! Soundtrack is FIRE! Love the ideda of constantly gaining things and throwing them out. I feel as though the controls could've used a little tweaking, but great idea and a lot of potential!

Fun game, though I've withheld scoring on audio because you're using pre-existing song like @jjoeyay pointed out. Great song though.

Real straightforward and fun. I would like it if the demolish range of the pink power was a bit larger... I find myself mostly using the other two.

Nice! I like the rock-paper-scissors dynamic between the three weapon types. I also think the red power could be made a little more useful, especially by making it larger. It becomes very useless when you are at low health.

I appreciate that the enemy colors line up with the powers of the orbs, but some on-screen indications of how to use them would be nice for the learning curve. It's also obnoxious that blue orbs give one shot instead of like 3. Still, tight controls, fun enough for what it is.
