Cool purple theme.
I think the guns should shoot more pellets, for a better game fell, feels like a bit of a weedy shotgun. Doesn't have to do more damage, just needs to feel bigger.
The choice of punishment every level is pretty cool.
It's a bit hard to see if you're hitting something (the sound is good but an health bar / movement from the ennemy would be better)
In a certain way it kinda looks like we had the same base idea for our game :joy:, but your way to make the player choose is penalty make the player feel more like he is in control of what he does and that's great!
First off all bullets are the way to random. It is hard to kill the enemies and not to lose some health. Tweak the spreading and it will be better.
UI is good, but I think you should pick the difficulty instantly without pressing Enter.
Keep up the good work!
