Good job on your entry.
PS: The music is so disturbing.
Good job! :D
Pros:
- Audio: Really like the programmer music, it was pretty funny.
- Core mechanic: You implemented the game mechanic loop like me (1. fight 2. chose powerup for health). I think it's properly balanced, it took me 3 tries to win the game, because I traded too much HP before fights. Also it gives you room to try out different strategies.
Cons:
- Enemies: They use the same "follow" mechanic, which makes them repetitive.
- Level: One level over and over again.
Overall:
Liked the game, it was nice to see that some other entrant had the same idea but used in a little bit different setting. Good one!
but the enemies that start behind you are quite tricky and painfull.
you cannot really avoid them, i started mostly by going backward and basically got hit few times by those.
the onther would would be to simply give you all the health that on the level and you didn't collect at the end.
because each time i finish level i would just collect the 3 bubles they are not far apart but yeah that still be nice if you could just get them automatically when you kill everyone.
it might not be actually necessary.
i would probably give you 3 health for each you dont pick up while fighting and make the fight harder so you probably would need to pick the health.
