Wow, excellent design. It really takes a lot of thought, and the difficulty curve was well constructed as well!

The core mechanic is really fun and pretty innovative, plus the game is clearly inspired by the theme. Maybe the shooting could be made a little bit easier, but it really has this nice flow to it. I'd like it if the graphics were just a tad less pixelated.

Great design. The ion cannon is really satisfying to use. I also like the music and the pixelated 3D-shaded look. Well done!

Really fresh gameplay and very addictive - had to force myself to stop playing :) I'm not a especially drawn to pixel art, but I loved the look of this and the aesthetic fit the game perfectly. It gave me flashbacks to arcade Gauntlet. Awesome!

The sounds were great the art was nice and orbital strike lasers seem to be lacking as of late in video games today

Nice weapon, challenging in the timing (but maybe some more feedback?). Like the style, but the text is rendered to blurry.

Great game! Graphics were really really good (Except the text). Resolution was too big though; I didn't see parts of the screen. Weapon feels extremely polished and awesome to use. I found myself constantly trying to group enemies up so I could hit more of them. Upgrades are all nice and contribute to the gameplay. Very, very good game!

Good luck :)

Nice game! Graphics are a bit too pixelated for 3D, and not as clean as 2D sprites if that was intentional, but nevermind. The game is fun and the improvement system an different enemies work great. Good one!

Great gameplay. Love the low res look.

Got stuck without being able to draw several times.

P.S. Pinks spawn way too early and are crazy op.

Interesting graphics style with nice mood. I guess I do not understand the rules regarding the lack of ammunition. Why do I run out of ammo, or where can I get it?

Anyway, I like it! Especially this orange tint of a sand and the look of enemies.

I like this concept, but you should not allow the hero to go out of the screen.
Good work ;)
