This is a very impressive first try at the engine, especially for the little time you had! I managed to get a score of 179.

As feedback, I felt that some of the "hazards" would spawn out of nowhere without warning and hit me before I had time to react. This can sometimes feel unfair to the player, I would add some kind of warning that telegraphs to the player that something is about to spawn and in which direction it will move. I feel like the player's character should get some visual feedback when hit, maybe a white flash on the sprite. Also, personally, I would maybe test with the player starting 1 "stage" smaller in size.

Other than that, the gameplay is very fun and addictive, well done!

The soundtrack works really well and the variety of enemies and upgrades is impressive. The stage generator is very capricious though, sometimes being fairly harmless and other times essentially killing you. A more static progression could help.

Wonderful game! I personally would've preferred a more aggressive difficulty curve as the game went on but nevertheless this is a great first project in the engine! Best of luck if you choose to continue working in it! Godot rocks! TheShrinkingScreen_TFaW4RcfNK.png
