I feel like some of the stuff, such as bullets, should give you more than one bullet, as that was my biggest struggle.
Overall it is an ok game, it just needs some more improvements and final touches and it would be way better.
Good job!
I liked what you were going for, but it took me a couple of plays to really grasp what I was doing. I would have liked some more prompts and UI enhancements.
## Great Job though!
In the beginning I struggled a bit with the controls, but then it worked very good.
I missed a challenge, it felt like the game is endless without increased difficulty.
Graphics are nice, though, and in conjunction with the music, they set the mood pretty well. I wish the song was a bit longer though, specially for a game that can, in theory, go on forever.
Overall, I liked the concept very much, and I think I'd enyoy an enhanced version of this game. Good work!
Why does my score go down sometimes?
Bugs:
- your HP continues to decrease, going negative, after you die
- sometimes you can't let go of an item, and it becomes a permanent part of your cursor (my cursor is above my HP count)
