what a good game!!!

Sound effects would really improve this entry. Just grab a microphone and hit random stuff in front of it. You'd be amazed at how much it improves the game :D

Great, although the later levels became quite boring as I was just circling the enemies and shooting off the outside ones. It started lagging quite badly on level 8 (is that level even possible?)

I can't start.
jk i know how.

That aside, good game! The only bug i found is when changing level, sometimes enemies spawn at you.

Very simple, but fun. Liked the concept of choosing how you level up as you progress. Would have liked to strafe up and down too, but I can imagine how time constrains you, especially on your first LD. And btw, great job finishing in time for the compo, I certainly didn't on my first time.

I enjoyed it, but other people may think it is too simple.

Good effort - would love sound effects :)

Great game! I really like it :D

Good fun, even without the audio. I got to level 9 :-)

Even some super-basic sound and music would help a lot, but I feel like the gently pulsing waves of enemies would be a good match for a moody, liquid music. Try Earslap's web-based musical instrument Circuli if you haven't already -- it's super easy.

I found the "SHIFT" control a bit hard to work with -- I kept pressing the wrong button. I think I would have found it easier if SHIFT (temporarily) turned off the "turn to the direction of movement" and the cursor keys moved in the same direction regardless of whether SHIFT was on or off.

Excellent first entry! I look forward to more :-)

Thanks everyone for feedbacks ! It has been a pleasure to build something even without some kind of original content.

I'll gathering some more knowledge for the next dare and trying to do better

Like how you embed the menu in the game to respect the theme.
Strife is so slooooooow without upgrade, make it really difficult.

Lvl 6 at first try, will probably give it another try ;)

The best thing about this game is it is actually fun to play! Simple ingredients mixed into a great cocktail!

nice
