the reloading mechanic is a bit slow when in battle but very interesting and fun , make me wanna try all of the possible combos , very fun
On a negative point, I cant really see theme usage here...?
That is a sentence I'd never thought I'd read! Nor did I ever expect to play a zippy axolotl as a main character! This game has style to boot. The mini-game to reload was also unexpected! Definitely something new. I enjoyed the whole experience.
The movement was a lot of fun, even though I got trace bits of lag in the browser. That felt really polished. A little more enemy AI might have made the combat even a little easier. As it was, them sitting and firing did not feel compatible with me having to zoom around, face them briefly, only to face a barrage of bullets XD
Thanks for the game!
Interesting way of reloading. First I felt it was just there to fit the theme and I didn't get it. But I it actually kept me focused and in flow, cruising around while reloading. Ended up enjoying it!
I think the difficulty and game length was balanced perfectly.
Very nice art style and I especially love these waves and the color of the water:

My favorite part was that you gave the frogs life lifebuoys instead of blowing them up, so adorable..

The only thing I'm missing is gamepad support! 🎮 🙏
Nice work!! Yay, I won the grand cup!

The only downside, as with many Unity3D projects quickly thrown together, is performance on slighly more shitty HW. A very solid entry!
Nice work! I'd love to see this expanded on in the future :)
