Excellent visuals and aesthetic. I really liked the polish of the laser shots pinging against the walls. Gameplay wise I wish I could strafe enemy shots a bit easier. Perhaps if the rooms were a little bit bigger or the camera was pulled back further, or maybe if the enemies shot a little bit slower or less accurately. Great job!
Cool take on Minesweeper. I think this game would work well with smaller levels you had to get all the treasure chests within before advancing, rather than endless game play. In my experience it was a bit too easy to just ignore any area that had any mines at all and keep going down focusing on only mining through 0 mine tiles.
Excellent arcade aesthetic and audio. I love the music. The mix of being able to hide or leap over enemies works quite well. The difficulty may be a bit high right out the gate. It would be nice if level 1 was relatively easy to finish (lots of hiding spots, less enemies). Great work!
I love the one-bit pixel art graphics and the sound effects. I wish the camera view size was a bit bigger so I could see more of the screen. It would be nice if the worms didn't spawn quite so constantly and immediately so that the game felt like there were different levels of tension. I also wish I could hold space bar to fire. Overall, great work!
This game seems like a really cool idea and I like the UI design, layout, and approach to text conversations. Unfortunately, the welcome pop up wouldn't go away for me and covered much of the screen making it difficult to play and read.
