Good game. Very fun and cool visual style. The "mode" theme is maybe a little weak - just because I couldn't really see any benefit to using the top-down mode (whereas the benefits to not using were really clear (and smart and cool like the cranes and low buildings).

For I only ever got a score of 7k so maybe that is a thing later(or i was missing something).

But ye, nice work - go bone mode.

Using the top-down makes it way easier to kill enemies, only requiring you to line up one axis of movement, and being able to dodge backwards and forwards while still firing on target. I was playing from overhead by default to kill enemies, while switching into forward view primarily to dodge projectiles and see further ahead!
