“Shrinking Stage” is a game I made that is inspired by the Steam game Windowkill (which I have never played - I don’t even have a Steam account - but I have seen YouTube videos of it).

Move your mouse to rotate your player and aim and dodge.
- If the controls do not work, turn off “disable touchpad/mouse while typing” in your system settings.
Use [W] to move your player and avoid enemy shots.
Use Space to shoot at enemies to defeat them, at powerups to collect them, or at the border of the stage to expand it.
