really clean, straight forward art. solid presentation (main menu, tutorial pop up before gameplay, wave complete). only nit pick is the mouse aiming was really weird feeling, a reticle and mouse cursor on screen is what I expected. But the gameplay other than that was good. probably feels better on controller?
good job guys, also who ever did the vo was very soft spoken, not usually what I expect for alerts. respect though, audio is challenging

It's hard to control with mouse since you don't see where the cursor is. Other then that solid entry.

Amazing game! How have more people not rated this? You could easily turn this into a full release and sell this. 9/10 amazing game :D

Very cool twin stick shooter and tower defence synergy, cool graphics and audio, but sometimes I felt that game probably needs aim mark. Great Job!

Fun game. The idea isn't particularly unique but the realization is great. Could use a visible cursor and maybe a digital energy counter.

lack of cursor makes it a bit difficult to play with mouse and keyboard, but playing with controller works well!
Overall a fun game!

Funky music! Definitely works better on gamepad, good shout. Building towers and pootling around is great. I did accidentally quit back to the menu when trying to pause the game to grab a drink but otherwise I enjoyed!

Great to play a twin-stick! Experienced a couple visual bugs bit it didn't take away from the fun :radioactive:

Cool, very polished game. I found mouse targeting a bit awkward and switched to game pad which was better. Some how I didn't feel super motivated to replay this game despite how polished it was, I think maybe unlocking the different turrets when you died or similar mechanic to increase engagement would have perhaps have helped.

Its great to see games from different genres, tower-base defence games always seem a bit complex to me for a jam game but you handle it really well, congrats to the whole team, great job!

The warnings are really funny and the game is great! The only problem I ran into was that it doesn't shoot in the same direction that I point my cursor.

It seemed to me a little complicated control, but this game has special effects nice (reactor core). Great game and great job! I like it!
