Thank U very much for playing! Tell me, what changes would you make to the game? The new updates I'll make are pausing the game (key "P") and restarting the level (key "R").
I also adapted the game to be playable with an Xbox One controller. To be honest, the difficulty decreases a bit with that, but the truth is that I designed my game with those 90s arcade experiences in mind, where games were challenging. You're not the only person who has mentioned this, so maybe it's something I should reconsider if I decide to create games like this again, as I want to experiment with different genres. By the way, you can check out the resolution of all the levels here:
The game aims to be an arcade experience with a challenging difficulty, reminiscent of classic games like the original Arkanoid or Contra. If you're having trouble, I'll leave you my video completing all the levels so you can get a better idea of how to overcome them more easily.
