Hey Jogo, I finally came around to playing your game.
I’m not too fond of the idea simple because it is a shooty game. About half the games in existence are shooty games and you simply made a non-shooty game into a shooty game, something you can do with just about any game. It seems to be well executed.
The leaderboard is definitely a nice touch.
I would have expected the shooting to work with LMB rather than space.
It’s unfortunate that there is no sound.
Hi murks! Thank you for sharing your opinion on the game :) Does it have anything to do with the connotation of violence that shooting things has or are you simply criticizing the fact that shooting things has been done a lot? I agree that is not the most original idea out there and readily admit that I only thought 'oh, this might be fun' when starting to work on it. Interestingly enough I made 3rd place in the 'originality' category, haha. But still, I think it turned out quite fun for the few hours that went into it. Physics/skill-based games really seem to trigger something in people. The leaderboard definitely caters to that.
The choice against LMB was due to pinball games I played as a kid and actual pinball machines as well. Smashing a button is just part of it. Didn't feel hefty enough with just LMB in my opinion ;) But I can in a future version support both as a compromise.
Yes, sound would have been great. Hopefully I can arrange some heavy-duty dubstep (as Mathias requested) from a good producer friend of mine.

Both. Although as one of my viewers pointed out the game is not actually violent. I don’t think much of ratings in game jams ;]
