HAHAHAHHA OH come on that face! Well I have to say that it is a good game I liked it, the particles and sounds are quite cool, but the resolution for this kind of games must be portrait! :D

Your face was just hilarious :smile:

Graphics and audio were ok, as for the gameplay you could try adding enemies which move diagonally. Currently if you don't manage to move below an enemy wave you basically have no means to kill it. My high score is 1200... for now :smile:

Overall, that's a nice entry ! Good job.

Nice entry! The particle effects were really good and not being able to overuse your gun is a great concept. Also, +humor for that beautiful face.

Sound and graphics work well but the gamplay... meh. I rate it "funny face"/10 :sweat_smile:

The space ships come down too fast, if you miss one it's hard to kill the others without being hit. The energy item effect looks nice but it's very hard to see it, maybe make it a little bigger? I think that the explosion effect doesn't fit with the rest of the graphics, but with the face there, maybe it doesn't really matter, right?
It's polished enough, but not so funny to play...

Really fun little game, but needs some polishing as @mateusmp said. The face in the corner reminded me Carmageddon. Good Job!

I like the game. Only thing is that the space ships are too big and come down too fast. If you arent already on front of the ships there is no way to kill them. Everything else is awesome though
