[Horizon 6]

I really loved the colored retro pixellated style and the various sounds. That's fun to listen for the first time the little sound telling you that you have no more bullets. Why did you choose to deactivate the great music by default ? I also like the font ! Where did you find/buy it ? Alternate between low and high elevation might be more than visibility purpose. It's a good way to align baddies and do combos if we suppose that the laser goes through the mob. I see the hard work provided in the menus, leaderboard, animations... it's sleek! Great job.

Thanks so much for this valuable feedback. (I may have an update later based on this and other feedback with regard to the music and movement control.) I never thought of a combo idea, that would be very cool! Yes, for some reason working with the retro fonts is my favorite part, and if you dig into the devpak (phaser3-examples-master/public/assets/fonts), you will find a treasure trove of them there. Using them effectively can be a little tricky, not too bad, i can do a little tutorial if anyone needs help. Thanks again for the kind review. I'm pulling for your game to get the prize - it's a complete game experience well delivered.

[Feed & Evolve]

That's fun to play, although it's a bit repetitive. I like the egg opening animation and the tiny Birzard. The enemies sprite and animation could be improved, especially when they attack the egg. The enemies that attack the egg at the top of it seems to not touch it (because of the arcade physic I guess). The chicken sound is terrible so I absolutely want to kill them quickly ! The music is great. In this game we need to be focus, especially by keeping an eye on the healthbar and also on the enemies. Don't really know what is the goal of the third bar with the star. Anyway good job, it's easy to play but not easy to master. :)

The enemy animation isn't smooth enough, but I was with little time to create them, so I used the ones that I had in the moment. The chicken is really annoying hahaha, I made all sound effects. For the egg, I literally broke an egg shell on the microphone x-D. I used arcade phisics, maybe it's not the best for this kind of game, but I just used that one before. The third bar is the XP bar x-D if you fill that, the Birzard will evolve, it has 4 evolutions, after that the "final boss" will appear. The idea of the game is that you must leave the enemies with low health to feed the Birzard (because of that you have to be careful to not overprotect it x-D). Thanks for yout review, for sure I will keep improving this game and your review was very constructive =-D
