The game has a lot of potential but with a azerty keyboard user this was pretty difficult to play with this special physics.
Also at start i didn't understand but after a moment I realised that the light was the life. A counter could be better to have a better appreciation when to stop and go back to get heal.
I think with a little bit more time and polish this game could be fun to play ! :)

The game mechanic is verry inovative and fitting for the theme. Hoever the game is too slow paced in my opinion. I killed everything a second after it entered the screen

At the beginning the mobs are very slow to come up, I thought it didn't work but when the show up I appreciate your game :)
I like the mechanics with the light

Fun to play... for me I think the first minute or two are a bit slow, before the number of enemies starts ramping up. I managed 4:50.

Nice game & graphics! But very hard to play with an azerty keyboard.

Cool game. Takes a while to get used to the controls.

I like the menu style and the switching when you click something.

Really liked the game idea and the controls!! The graphics and sound are a bit too basic, though!
Also, I had to die once to discover I was losing health while shooting, probably having a health bar would help with that and also understanding that the middle heals the player ;)

Positive:
- Nice Transitions
- Great Idea, I really like the aspect of managing, when to heal and when to shoot/take damage

Negative:
- Could need some move visual things, like panning camera, camera shake on hits
- Real UI for the health would lead to better control.
- Feeling glitchy when walking into the center (collisions)

Overall a medium game, with lots of potential to become a good casual game! :)
Enjoyed playing it :)

Keep it up guys!

Oh , I really like the concept of having to balance health and "are you shooting or not" in a tower defender.

I feel it could have been balanced better to make the earliest waves easier? Maybe bullets that take less of your health, and only very weak enemies at first? Because i legit died just from not being able to get away from a gun at first.

Great game, I like how you can't use your mouse to aim, but instead have to use your postion relative to the turret.

The one thing I did not like was how the music got quieter while shooting.

Good game, my only criticism is that the turret is automatically powered, which meant I couldn't just aim the turret ahead of time for enemies to come near, but maybe that was the point.
