This game is a really cool take on space invaders! I'm not sure if I just didn't play far enough into the game but adding rounds that have increasingly more ships would be cool and make it more fun to see how far you can go. And I like the death effect too it's really cool.
a simple idea well executed! i didn't encounter any bugs on my playthrough.
It could be fun if you could also hit enemies as the harpoon came back down. That plus adding variable speed for different rows of enemies could create fun moments where you get multiple enemies with one shot, maybe if you shoot while moving the harpoon could maintain some directional velocity and hit a couple in a row diagonally.
just some random thoughts I had while playing it, great job!
Much appreciated! I am as surprised as I am pleased that you encountered no bugs...
I considered an idea since uploading where the enemies could be "squashed" as they come down and, later on in the game, you could hit multiple at the same time, giving you a score multiplier.
Great take on Space Invaders! because shooting makes you pause for a moment, you have to think about the bullets differently. Could definitely see the difficulty scaling well with some round variations. Nicely done!

Much obliged! This is very good feedback. I had a plan to add more levels to the game before I uploaded it. Alas, there was no more time...
I will definitely work on this game a little more after the jam and see what I can add.

Thank you again for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it.
I am looking forward to adding some more levels and more features once the jam has ended. Very much looking to add the round variations you mentioned.
