Like that
.
One thing I found was sometimes I was wondering why I died. It didn't seem like I was being hit or was too far -- perhaps the hitbox is too lenient?
I think this game could benefit from having a metric of score. Perhaps display how many enemies you killed on the 'game over' screen. or at least how many seconds you survived. that lets players in the comments have a little extra something to talk about, and it adds a little extra 'flair' even when the player doesn't succeed.
like, "You died. but on the plus side you killed 22 dudes." or something. Then on the victory screen display a speedrun time. I dunno.
It's a neat idea, but I think the difficulty dampens the experience. Cool game though.
