I do really like it. My suggestions to make this even better would be\n-A different control scheme. Perhaps following the mouse or something.\n-Less projectiles.

The idea is simple but it works really well. Graphics are nice and cohesive. The only problem I had was with the control scheme.

as said, missing sound effects (i made up for it by making mouth noises), but graphics are nice, gameplay is smooth, one thing i did notice tho was that the ai could do with leading its target as i
