Nice idea and solid implementation!

I really like the music but the other sounds were slightly repetitive and painful :D

It would be nice if moving up/down meant you would dodge the bullets.

a bit clunky to doing the block (probably cause of the stamina thing), also it getting hard to block more than 2 bullet, since the timing is different and the block can't hold up long

very nice game overall, solid entry :D

Very difficult. Walking speed is slower than a walk which is very unfitting if I play as a Roman warrior.

As an animator, a suggestion. Before an enemy attacks, so the player is able to make proper decisions to block the attack, it would be ideal if the aliens gave some kind of signal that they are about to shoot.

I could theoretically learn the exact timing that they may shoot, and conserve my limited blocking time this way, but I don't have the patience for this.

Since my block apparently cannot be held for very long, I am basically not given any tools to go through levels and succeed.

I don't have a way to block, I don't have a way to approach my enemy. I don't have a way to play this game.

It's a bit hard game, maybe because the block meter depletes so quickly. I never got through stage 5. The player graphics remind me of old retro adventure games.

Difficult game, block meter is so short and the movement speed waaaaaay too low. Cool concept though.

Cute little game with a neat retro art.

The block depleting so quickly does make it quite difficult. Getting some indication that a shot will soon be fired would have been useful too.

Going to agree that movement speed is way too low, the blocking is alright, but it makes attacking useless, since youmove so slow better to sit a distance and just tap block all the shots.

I'd love the atari style, if it stayed that way overall. But something are clearly at different resolutions.

At first I don't know how to pass level 3. After read the instruction I know how to defend. It's challenging. I like it. Thanks... :)
