Loved the mechanics and how you handled dashing as well. Reminded me of luftrausers in a way\n\nThe enemy variety was cool, and even though it was a small amount, I loved how you managed to make use of them to their fullest. Each wave felt like it's own puzzle in a way with a solid amount of variety.\n\nThat said, I was a little sad that each enemy was more or less the same thing design wise. I think having some enemies move a little would've added a lot more to the dynamics of the combat and made things more interesting\n( As an example, just having the boats or the helicopters move left or right, but at different speeds would've added a lot )\n\nI also think that some of the missiles tracked you a little too precisely. Maybe they could've been a little generous in that regard.\n\nLoved the art style and how you mixed 2D and 3D, though I think you could've made it a little more cohesive. I think some of the sound effects could've been a little less sharper. The sound admittedly got somewhat annoying after a while.\n\nOverall, this was a very solid little game. Great work on this.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1149417,"author_name":"winniehell","author_uid":"winniehell","epoch":1744545404,"text":"I like the game (and no, I could not survive all 21 waves :sweat_smile: ). making it progressively harder and introducing new types of enemies felt right to me though. just a tiny note: the sound when dying was a bit too harsh \/ loud for me in comparison to the rest.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1154439,"author_name":"quadtree","author_uid":"quadtree","epoch":1745013621,"text":"Pretty fun game! It took me a bit to realize that the dash had no cooldown, so I should just dash constantly, but once I figured that out it was pretty straightforward.
