A downloadable game for Windows

Just Shoot was my first attempt at making a game and i'm glad to say i succeeded, it was made for the Weekly Game Jam #64 with the theme of Glitch. It took me 36 hours to complete in it's current state and i gotta say it was one hell of an experience, this was a solo entry and i learned a lot, looking forward for the next jam. It is a top-down shooter like Asteroids but with some random enemies with a basic AI, controllers are standard WASD or the Arrow Keys for movement you control the aim of the "ship" with the mouse and you shoot by pressing the "Space Bar" the whole game was made using Game Maker Studio 1.4

Which tools did you use to make it? I am looking to join a jam on 2th of Augoust and I don't know what to begin with, my aim is a sample 2D game.

I used Aesprite and a few online SFX creators, don't really have the name and as for the engine it was GameMaker 1.4

What's good:

Fantastic graphics and visual effects
Tight controls
Increasing difficulty
Alright soundeffects, a bit repetitive

What can be improved:

Players want to see progress, showing the score when dying will increase the game's replayability
Enemies spawning right beside you feels unfair
Could reward the player somehow when he accomplishes something

A great first jam game!
