Off Garbage

I only made it through the first two levels before giving up. The music got annoying pretty quickly, and the gameplay started to feel repetitive almost right away. There is barely any enemy variety, and even though enemies spawn fast, it does not make things more exciting. It just makes it feel like you are doing the same thing over and over. One of the biggest issues for me was the lack of any real tutorial. I spent the first 10 minutes not even realizing I had to press a button to charge the battery, which made the beginning more confusing than fun. The UI did not help either. The text was hard to read, and the symbols for the battery and lives were so small or faint that they were easy to miss. After that, the whole game loop already felt samey. You go through waves of weak blob enemies that die in one hit, then get to the end of the level and fight a boss that mostly just feels like a bullet sponge. There is not much story to keep things interesting, so it all starts to blend together pretty fast. Overall, it just felt repetitive, hard to read at times, and not very polished or fleshed out.
