I liked the game mechanics, although the controls were a bit icky with just using a keyboard. There are only so many misses you can afford until you simply can't beat the game, and with the ship sliding and enemies firing at you, you can't afford much time for aiming, either. It makes for a good challenge, though! Also, nice soundtrack! Really enjoyed it, fit really well into a space-asteroid-ship-shooting kind of game!
The sound effect on letting balloons go was amazing, I could listen to it all day. I liked the idea around the game very much, although I couldn't get too far without a mouse. I don't think there's much you could've done to help with that without making the game considerably easier though, so it's all good. The soundtrack fit the game pretty well, too!
The cutscenes, story, music and sfx were really nice. However the back-and-forth for souls was indeed a bit tedious, but that's something that'll be easily fixed, no doubt. I liked the idea of gaining new abilities and unlocking new areas, and that will surely allow your game to expand into something great. With a little bit honing on walljumping, that ability alone could be the key for instance.
The first time around when I didn't realize it was only a single level, losing the colors was horrendous! Didn't even think it'd be so difficult distinguishing holy water from lava. Great job!
After crushing the first cube in the tutorial the game just stuck for me, leaving the score at 10/50. Sadly couldn't play past that, as the mechanic seemed interesting :(
Oh my. I tried multiple times to come up with an idea based around ammo being health without getting one that actually makes for fun and engaging gameplay, and you did it. Hats off to you, the idea and the execution worked perfectly. The sound effects, music and artstyle complemented eachother quite well, too.
The moment I entered wave 11 I couldn't wait to finish it so that I could write you this comment. The music resonated really well with the stage, considering it was a "boss stage". Like some other players, I was able to beat it by pumping all my upgrades to fire rate. I can't wait to see where this game goes. Overall the gameplay was extremely enjoyable, the music fit the game really well, the idea behind sidegrading has tons of potential, and the sound effects were also quite spot-on. Keep it up!

The gameplay gave me a sense of I have no idea what I'm doing, but that aside it was a really enjoyable experience!

I really enjoyed how you implemented the player's view. Gives the game a bit of uniqueness and challenge.
