Additionally the use of the theme served more as an annoyance. I would just slowly be draining and the enemies wouldn't drop enough batteries to stay alive.
Presentation, sound, and graphics were done very well!
Pros
- I reallllly like the sound!
- I also liked the graphics a lot and the different particle effects
- Game play mechanics were smooth
Cons
- I died after the round was over like @kleinzach
- Simple balancing things are needed, also like @kleinzach mentioned
Overall I think yall did a fantastic job! Things to add if development continues: More enemies, more weapons and possibly armor/power-ups
Ps: It would have be nice to have the oportunity to shoot with a clic, but it's ok ^^
Good job :)
If you continue development, it would be nice to just see more content; more gun types, power-ups, etc. It probably does need an extra gimmick though to help it stand out more from other shooters.
Other than that though, I thought the graphics were fine (better than most), sound effects were great (until there were no more enemies and I was just confused going pew pew pew forever =P.) Music was good without being overbearing. Overall very solid.
