Great music and art, felt like it needed a little tweaking in terms of game play but enjoyed it :)

Neat little game. The boss design was funny and they had some cool attacks.

You can defeat the bosses pretty quickly be really spamming the attack button. Instead it might have been better to maximize DPS after 2 or so clicks per second to make it easier to aim.

Great music and sound effects, needs more tweaking in my opinion

The UI design and graphics are amazing. You clearly put so much effort into this and it deserves to get a high score in the end. The gameplay didn't feel perfect, but you had 72 hours and used it really well! Good luck with future titles and I truly hope this game ends with a good score! :)

From my opinion, your game has a cool concept of a mobile screen and the graphic is great too! I could see your game is potential as you could create a different bosses representing different apps on mobiles. The music is good as well. On web platform, I saw a gap on the UI (in the picture attached below). Did you leave it there purposely?

Really cool concept. I like the idea of killing apps and it fits nicely with the theme. The music was good and the art was solid. I also think it's funny the idea of flushing the data down the toilet. The game itself was pretty good. The controls felt a little heavy, but that may have been the HTML5 version. Overall good job and congrats on finishing! :)

Hi, it's pretty nice. Kinda fits the theme even if the theme is't tied into the gameplay, but fits into the story/idea of the game. My biggest problem is that it is very easy to click out of the box and unfocus the game. This is because the reticle has a maximum fixed size away from the player, therefore you do not know where the mouse pointer is at all.
The controls are slightly slippery, which do not work very well with bull hell games as they are all about precise movement. The player should stop as soon as the key is released.

The art is well done and each of the bosses look very impressive.
With a bit of polish of the gameplay and controls it would make for a good game.

Cute little game with a unique art style. Overall the game it’s good but geez, the audio it very loud and distract too much from gameplay. Nice work.

Simple and fun, but boy does my finger hurt from all the clicking.

Just imagine if you had to delete apps like this normally lol. Better than bloatware at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very nice, good design in the bosses and their adds. I was annoyed by the fact that I kept losing focus of the game because my mouse was leaving it but that's me and not you! I enjoyed it a lot.

Is this what they call a "killer app"? :-)

I think everyone already said what I was going to comment: other than some tweaking of the controls it's a nice game (buy why is the browser called "Baron"?)

It is a good challenge. I died many times before I got any progress on. I would have liked to hold fire rather than spam. Good job

I really liked the theme and the art, but couldn't play more than three times because my finger got tired of clicking. This game really needs autofire!

@wendel-scardua it's called Boron, not Baron - a chemical element, like Chrome.

I love your art style and sounds <3. They are simply great! I think gameplay it maybe too hard, but maybe this was a point. Anyway, really cool game. Keep it up!
