Nice game, upgrades feel very good)
As a player, should notice, that XP particles at first feel like danger projectiles. Maybe some pacific color will make a deal

Getting all those lasers made it worth killing all those innocent little fishes

Nicely done! I really like the antenna movement of the submarine!

I, too, first assumed the XP orbs were out to get me. Turns out I was right, but also wrong. Not many games let you have 13 laser beams when you left click, but this game does and that's what I appreciates about it. The rockets began to grow on me once they started getting bigger than my little yellow submarine. Something like random, limited time only power ups (i.e. even more lasers, or even more bigger explosions, etc) could be a simple way to enhance the already fun gameplay.

What a fun top down shooter! I wasn't expecting the mass array of lasers but it was so satisfying

Nice game! I didn't realize at first that purple and red orbs were necessary to upgrade. I thought they were projectiles and tried to dodge them. But once I figured out that it's possible to upgrade, the game became much easier. It's probably a bit too easy... There is a lot of space to maneuver and there are no dangers other than fishes.

Feels so good to have all the lasers blasting at enemies and their health bars melting away, super satisfying! Nice game!

Really liked this game. It was a long way down, but I just wanted to keep going, finding more fish to shoot. The bar on the left telling me how deep I was, was very helpful.

Quite a little bit simple but nice to play

satisfying but with more than 8 lasers, my screen started to freeze :/

Cool idea for the theme and I liked the weapon upgrading system in it too. The music was nice fit for the game and was fun to play too, nice work!

Very simple but well executed. Getting and using a bunch of lasers is very satisfying and the damage felt nice. I wish there were a few more ambient sound effects and sounds for shooting the lasers and rockets maybe. The music also didn't loop when it finished but I see you opted out of audio so those things are not really a big deal. Overall really good job though!

Destroying blocks with like 13 lasers is so satisfying lol
