They'd block my (and the AIs) movement and making things a bit harder. Or were they supposed to be a blockage?

This gave the game a bit more to do instead of just clicking randomly or holding down left mb.

The mechanic of drawing the circle works really well. Luckily, I read the tutorial on the itch page. If you only write one text, maybe you should put it in the game. I really like the character's visual. The only big issue is that the character turns towards the mouse cursor, but the gun is offset. So it shoots beside.
