Decent game. Pretty challenging toward the end as spawns increase. Nice graphics, and I was glad that the shot had a nice radius around it to help players who are terrible at aiming like me, haha! Music was okay. Sound effects were never annoying, so that's great.

Game gets more challenging during the end, which is good. 10/10 would play again.

Up and down movement felt a bit weird. Otherwise this was a wonderful entry! Great job!

This was really fun experience!

It took me a while to get a grasp of the controls but this is solid 5/5 stars! I don't really know how my time flew by playing this game, graphics and sounds are very fitting, gameplay feels very good once you invest to it.

GJ! Definitely work with it, you have very solid base :)

Mac version doesn't seem to work, clicking does nothing so I can't get past the title screen.

uh oh! I'm so sorry! @shaolin-dave I'll fix it ASAP!

How could this be? I used unity's default "OnMouseDown" function! I might have to figure something else out!

[UPDATE]
I tested this on my macbook and it works fine. Can someone else confirm this?

Good job with the game. I had a lot of fun playing it. the difficulty scaling was pretty well done and gets pretty challenging near the end. The enemy hitbox the the bullets felt a little weird at times since it felt like it would sometimes just pass through the enemies. Overall great game though.

Great game! The enemy variety is good and their different amounts of health and attack patterns add a nice layer of strategy when deciding which enemy to use energy shooting at. The audio and graphics were very well done and the gameplay was entertaining. It took me a few tries, but I eventually made it to the end.

This was quite a bit of fun to play,and Bulbino is quite cute. The music and sounds were particularly nice. I had a few tiny hiccups on Mac, but I was warned ^___^

Very nice, colorful and flashy game! Gets difficult a bit quickly imo.
