I really had fun with this, the controls were smooth and felt good, and the escalating levels helped build up the tension and gave some great challenge (though I did find that even when I lost I could still go to the next level - seems you may have a bug there). The only thing I would say is that you could really use some larger projectiles and some better feedback on whether you were hitting your opponent or being hit yourself. A simple colour flash or some screenshake would go a long way to improve the overall feel.
Not bad for a weekend's worth of work, I'd like to see you take this further and improve it, and hopefully you'll be back for the next jam with something even better!
The bullets were somewhat hard to see, maybe using the same neon effect for the bullets could work.
Good job overall :smile:
The glitch in movement are a bit frustrating, as is the respawn location which is often to close from enemies. The sound made by the tile when you step on them is a bit annoying too, but that's ok. End my last complaint will be that the movement is not discrete, the character doesn't snap on a tile, so the control does not feel precise (but maybe it's just me).
But all those are minor drawbacks, the game is very enjoyable :) Graphics are nice and fits the arcade mood. Good job !
The concept however is really good.
