Tutorial/Learning Curve Mechanics
Get rid of the account stuff. I went through with it, because I realized I don't have to put in an email, so I just put in some gibberish, but most other people will not bother with your game if you have to do some sort of account. It's something that people are very annoyed and sensitive about - especially when it comes to playing a casual, online game like yours - the whole point is that it's easy to play.

There's no clear description of what's happening. The bullets shoot in a weird way - they go in the direction you move in? Or what exactly do they do? Either way, they should be faster on default. I'd up the speed of the game too - make the basic/default speed (and bullet speed, like I mentioned) and bullet firing rate faster.

Is there any way to get health back? Why should I even try to beat other enemies if it doesn't help me at all? Or does it eventually? I didn't play it very long, but beating enemies didn't seem to reward me at all. There was nothing to pick up on the map.

Trying to be number one on some sort of leaderboard is ok, but an online game like this needs more immediate incentive to try and do stuff - killing enemies makes you stronger, give you hp, etc - something like that.

Besides that, it works - works fine without issues, no lag, no weird errors etc. The enemies (or bots I suppose?) are moving around fine etc, evenly distributed around the map. I like the varied RPG possibilities, but if I have to try each one to see what exactly it does, it gets me pretty annoyed - so make a clear, short description for each.

Thank you for your reply. For the rewards, I have new features I will add like leveling system, items, coins, loot, new maps, new creatures, etc. For the account, I can't remove that because, as I said, I will add a leveling system, items and coins so I don't want the player to lose his progression in game. Or maybe I will add an option that the player will not be obligated to create an account but he will lose his progressions. It's true for the description I need to add a tutorial or something. I will implement what you said. Thank you again.
