Super cool game! I just wish there was a saving throw kinda thing you could use space for. like a rechargable burst that hits behind the paddle, or maybe a jump. it's more one button! Anyway, I loved the graphics, nice feeling.

Thank you! We plan to use the space to use objects (bullets, area attacks ... ) but we ran out of time :(

We will add in post update ^^

I really liked the way this game looks a lot. The control system is a little hard for me because the scroll wheel is sort of difficult. But it's a really novel use for it and I'm excited by it overall. :) Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!!!

Too bad you didn't get time to add the bullets and area attacks. As it is, sometimes enemies are coming at the shield level at the same time on different lanes and you can't really fight against it.
Apart from that, I liked the overall realization ! Nice little game there :)

Nice little game, love the graphics, but you run too quickly out of hearths I think.

Nice game. The graphics and animations were very impressive. Scroll wheel is a notoriously finicky input, it can be completely different depending on the mouse and the player's calibrations, so I would probably avoid that and stick to either panning the mouse up and down or the up and down arrow keys. The game itself was fun and the boss fight was pretty neat. Nice work, well polished.

I beat it! Super fun game, and it is quite an original idea to use the scroll button, but it works very well, even better than with the mouse.

Nice game, but a little too hard in my opinion. Another function to kill ennemy when you miss them with the shield would be welcome, but you ran out of time apparently and I understand that XD

Really funny Game, i like the sound and the control with the mouse wheel.

Really cool and additive gameplay! But I think it will be better if the player has some skills to attack or defend against nearby enemies. Well done!

Good job! Perhaps consider adding more tools for the secondary button? (space) would be interesting. I think the mousewheel is a tough choice but it's fairly playable!

Well done =)

Nice mood!
The graphics looks quite stylish.
Though this game is quite hard IMO.
Also I think using mouse scroll to move is not so intuitive, you know, many mouse wheels are not very responsive.
Anyway, nice job!

Definitely a good game with a lot of potential. I think you woud have a problem with different mouse wheels moving at different mouse speeds.

I really love it, though.

That's clever to use scroll as a game controller, it's a small change but makes game much more entertaining. Pretty good music, goes well with graphics.

Great use of the mousewheel! A very fun mechanic. Seemed a little unfair though when two bad dudes came at the same time on each end of the track, seems there was literally nothing that you could do...

Nice visuals and fun challenging gameplay. Occasionally I would get two enemies at one which kinda screwed me but nice pretty entry.

The controls were a bit touchy but overall really fun and highly polished. Took a few tries to get to the boss but it was worth it. Fun game!

I did much better with the scroll wheel than I did with the keys...
Music was nice and not abrasive, fitting the visual of the game well...

I liked the Boss, but kinda wish he exploded...

The darkness consumed me :( Fun game though, found it easier to use arrow keys than the mouse wheel, so glad that got implemented

Very nice graphics, loved the rain. If combined with the right music, it would set a much better mood, now the music and the graphics don't feel very coherent.

Also, it is impossible to block all enemies, making me die pretty quick. Max score of 1440

Overall great entry. We really think you could add some touch controls and throw this on mobile easily. All the stuff you've done for the post jam fixes the issues we had playing the jam version. So keep going, and good luck with it!

Nice music and graphics. Controls are a bit too sensitive. It would be nice if things started out slower, and got faster later on, that way I would have a chance to get used to things.

Nice entry. It's a simple game. Maybe you can add more variety. Overall the game passes.
