Great game, Hawkwork. The aesthetics and sound were spot on, and the gameplay mechanics were a fantastic idea. It was challenging, but it wasn't so hard that I didn't want to continue. I'm pretty sure I played all of the levels because it looped back to the first one. My only gripe with it was that the webpage scrolled every time I pressed the down and up arrow keys, and I had some difficulties on the title screen getting the game to play. I would definitely find a way to freeze website controls while the game is in focus if you decide to flesh this game out further. Other than that, I was very pleased with the experience. Amazing work!

Cheers. Thanks for pointing out those issues, I will address them. There are a few other things I'm aware of also. There will be a post jam update.

There needs to be some balancing and a little more variation also. Corners were cut...

I totally understand. I think we all had to cut some corners, haha! However, I'll keep a lookout for your future updates after the contest results are in. I had fun playing this. :)

I found a way to fix the scrolling bug. Added some more different enemies also. But there are still a lot of bugs, I'm afraid.

That's awesome to hear. The scrolling bug was the most important one to fix in my opinion, so I'm glad that you were able to get it taken care of. I'll have to try this one out again once you're able to get a little more done on it. 🙂
