I love this game! It seems to be very underrated so far, but is really fun! I love the screen shake, and the health system is one of the most unique mechanics I've ever seen!

This is a very good and polished game. The graphical consistency is superb. I loved the little progression I felt with each level. Well done!

This concept is very innovative and well executed. I like the fact that the shape around you is more and more complex (this is a good "detail") and that there are different king of turrets ! Good job !

Great game. I love fun little shooters like that. Great balance between graphics, sounds, game play,etc. I felt the difficulty ramped up nicely.

I found that choosing max ammo wasn't as useful as max health... your ammo automatically fills up but you need to choose max health to heal between levels.

Overall great game and nice use of the theme. Really well done.

Excellent game!

I like how everything work together, the visual, the gameplay. Small quantity of element, that make less noise.

Nice idea to use the circle as hud to show progress and health, beside limit the arena.

Nice work!

Love the rubber band effect on the arena. Controls are tight and gameplay is fun. Camera zipping to and fro based on the enemies remaining is a little disorienting, but I quickly got used to it.

A well polished fun game. I like the aesthetics of the game, the way the border vibrates, the particle effects and the camera movement.

Whoa, really neat graphics, i loved them! Very juicy! Also, the sounds were fitting! Mechanics weren't as innovative, but the shrinking arena surely fit the theme! Thanks for making this game!

Cool game! I like sounds, control sensitivity. Gameplay is't innovative, but I like how arena react on health. I can't stop playing!

Great game, I really liked the graphics! On the HTML version the game did lag every time I destroyed something which made it a little hard to play. I got a high score of 36500!

The graphics look pretty good! Just the right level of simplicity vs. detail.

I think there could be a little more variety in the gameplay. For example enemies that move around or have special effects would add a lot to the game loop. (I only got to the purple enemies, so I don't know if there's anything like that later on.)

A cool shooting game with nice soundtrack... If the enemy bullets and your own bullets were of different colour then it would have been nice

Very polished entry, animation, sfx are gooood. Gameplay is nice, maybe it lacks a bit of variety in the upgrades. Overall, solid entry, good job!
