I feel the scoring being based on catching enemy drops instead of on kills makes the kills feel less rewarding than it could have---maybe if both the kill and the drops gave points? Nevertheless, the feel/ease-of-aim of the cannon is spot on and I love its sound effect :D

Wow, this is a juicy game. Really like the cannon effect paired with the screen shake. Not to mention its really satisfying lining every creature up and taking them all out in one effective hit. Great job!

Well done! It was very easy to know what to do and to actually do it. It would have been nice if the loot were easier to get.

Wow shooting the cannon feels great!

I really enjoyed playing this. The shooting feels great and the rendering and effect are really nice too. One thing I would change is the player speed. Sometimes it felt like I was stuck and not able to evade the enemies. Overall considering you build the engine yourself its awesome game.

Very satisfying feeling when shooting! I would love a more fleshed out version with more weapons and power-ups. Really cool that you made it in Rust with your own renderer as well. Kudos!

Shooting animation is cool

A lovely game! has a lot of potential! I almost played the game without moving then wanted to ask how to get points then I read the controls, I had fun blasting, attacks have a nice OOMF to them

That must be one huge cannon the bacteria is carrying, judging by the sound! The gameplay loop is simple and could use a bit more variation, but I had fun blasting away. Nice work!

Firing is very tense, I love this cannon. Looking forward to more interesting weapons

Very nice visual feedback in the game, I enjoyed playing it. Wish there were more variations of enemies. Nonetheless, still fun!

One thing I've noticed when some people add screen shake to their game is they like to add way too much and it becomes overwhelming. You avoided that and added the perfect amount, for me at least. It made the shooting feel like there was a lot of weight behind it, which went well with the actual weight of the shot and the sound effect, but it didn't stay around too long.

Hard but also pretty fun. Well done.
