I definitely think it would feel more comfortable to play if you could shoot in one direction while moving in another, whether twin-stick style (or WASD to move\/arrows to shoot) or aiming with the mouse.  Maybe that would make it too easy with only one enemy type -- you'd need other types that can get in front of you and that would take time to implement :\/","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"dimesto52","author_uid":"1035556","time":"2017-12-08T23:47:57Z","epoch":1512776877,"modified":1512776877,"text":"it would be a nice game by browser and a system of score would be nice","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"IcyLava","author_uid":"1002251","time":"2017-12-12T20:01:50Z","epoch":1513108910,"modified":1513108910,"text":"It's not particularly challenging, you just sort of strafe around them until the enemies are in one big bunch and then you move towards them, shoot, move back, reload, move towards them, shoot... and on and on.

Good work for what you've done yet, and good luck for you next game dev.

I only managed to make it to the 3rd wave, but I'm terrible at this kind of game so it may not be quite indicative of how difficult it is.  One thing that would have been nice is some sort of game over screen; along with a score (even if it's only how many enemies you defeated). Overall, nice job!
