Successive impressions:
- see the keyboard keys: noo I don't have a qwerty oh it works nevermind.
- Moving is easy, but it has this stiffness. Maybe it would have been better to have a system of velocity?
- I mistook the tree trunks for moles you could assimilate, and spam the E with the fear that keyboard won't work after all.
- Are defenders more than extra lives?
- Good feedback on controls, with the easy to understand cooldown bar. However, damage (inflicted and received) is not visible enough. I did not dare to use dash.
- Lore and gameplay... I think it would have been better if the "tiny creatures" were alien and not Earth animals, because spiders and snakes shooting bullets? It looks too much like "these were the only sprites we had".
- Next level and the biiiig green void you roam aimlessly. Maybe it would be better if the clusters of ennemies were linked with visible paths (such as the usual beaten earth)?
And since I'm not good at gaming, I did not continue. But it was fun.
