    Fun game! There were a few bugs, namely that the game crashes if you try to go fullscreen while in the game. Also, I got annoyed that you had to go through the beginning each time. Other than that, a really fun arcade game with a lot of polish.

    Had fun playing this 🥳 but I was really bad at it, although I am probably bad at most games that use the mouse😅. Never made it past wave 4.

    Very cool concept. Solid sound. Great job.

    Dude, this was awesome. I am actually going to play it again after I write this. I didn't expect much because you didn't fill out the description or anything, but man was I surprised. Tutorial is well executed, game mechanics are solid and engaging, difficulty scales well, and the sound design is nice.
