Yeah its hard, the spin mechanic for me was just a use it and hope I hit someone. Also HOLY CRAP that death sound is horrible!!! Hurts my ears every time, music is nice though

This game is fun! It's simple but very satisfying when you do manage to play well. Sometimes the pacing can be a little weird, very slow at the start then all of a sudden chaotic. But it illustrates the exponentially growing difficulty of more and more enemies in a way that matches the theme!

The spin mechanic was actually really cool even though I didn't really manage to do anything useful with it. I just want to stress how bad the death sound is. Trying to condition the player to do better by causing them physical pain upon failure is maybe taking it a step too far.

Fun little game, but the death sound is terrible. You game link is missing the "http://" so some people might not copy/paste it properly and it isn't auto linked.

Wow. This is solid. I really like the spinning attack, even though I don't like splitting between the keyboard and mouse. There are a lot of great details in here too.

Nice work.

This game gets really hard after 14-15 kills! Very fun and goes with the theme perfectly. Nice work!

The spinning attack looks really cool, but I couldn't figure out how to use it reliably. It took me a while to realize that I could survive bullets by attacking through them, but once I did, I ... killed three enemies before dying! I'm not very good at this game. Perhaps more UI indication on the path a prospective spin attack will take could help guide the player to make it work, because I really want to see the spin attack work. Good job!

The concept is really interesting. I found a bug which you can find attached in which the player got in the centre of the world. Good sound effects.
