I did find a spot in the final area where the pathfinding would get a bit weird around one of the houses so that fight was a bit easier than intended. I didn't end up using the melee attack because the range of it is so short while the enemies are fast and many.

I give you 5 stars on everything except on fun with 4.5 because it is just shooting hordes and there is little surprise except of the story and spawns, so almost perfect. The pixel art is excellent I love it but I will let it at 4.5 stars because it is a jam and maybe it could be slightly better.

It took me a few runs to figure out the core mechanics, but after that I pretty much had the gameplay down. I would like to warn players without mice: it is *very* difficult to only control the game with touchpad. Aiming with it is extremely slow. Another thing I would like to suggest is making the enemies not spawn so close to the player. When I got into the second zone, I was effectively instantly surrounded.
