Great job! The addition of the camera shake is a really nice touch.

Thank you! There's a pause menu too, which you can toggle by pressing the Escape key. You can change the maximum intensity and fire rate of the weapon too

The camera shake when taking damage looks really cool. How did u add that in, are u pausing and unpausing the game or adjusting the camera positioning or something else?

Oh! It's really easy. I basically do it like this:

extends Camera2D

@export var max_shake_intensity: float = 25.0

@onready var shake_timer: Timer = %ShakeTimer


func _ready() -> void:
    set_process(false)

    shake_timer.timeout.connect(set_process.bind(false))


func _process(_delta: float) -> void:
    var shake := Vector2(
        randf_range(-max_shake_intensity, max_shake_intensity),
        randf_range(-max_shake_intensity, max_shake_intensity)
    )

    var timer_progress := 1.0 - shake_timer.time_left / shake_timer.wait_time

    offset = lerp(shake, Vector2.ZERO, timer_progress)


func _shake_camera() -> void:
    shake_timer.start()
    set_process(true)

The shake_timer's One Shot property should be on

This is a cool way of doing it. I was searching this up and came across the term "hit stop". It seemed a bit complicated.

From what I see here, the main feature is:

• offsetting the camera between a random range limited by the max_shake_intensity
• subtract the ratio of time_left and wait_time from 1 to progress the offset from the random shake vectors to zero
• setting the process to false on timer timeout signal

But, where are you calling _shake_camera as it is a declared a private method? I guessing, you call it when the player takes damage.

the mobs shouldnt be getting blocked by the barriers otherwise they just keep getting stuck everywhere, same bullets shouldnt be disappearing when hitting the barrier it looks weird
