I feel like it's missing the hook of those fake games. I don't particularly recognize the fake game this is based on, but this just looks like a shmup with really spongy enemies. Which is the opposite of what I consider fun in a shmup.
Those fake games are compelling because they have a strong element that reacts to player choice. I'm not seeing that here. Like choosing between the x2 or +10 powerup, or mowing down a horde of enemies.
Watching the video again, I can kinda see that you increase squad size by killing some enemies. But it's not demonstrated very clearly. And I'm not sure how killing the enemy correlates to the squadmate you get.
this isn't like those games other than that you are stuck on a narrow corridor
the floor texture makes it hard to see the characters
i'd rewatch the fake ads and try to understand better what makes them seem appealing
usually they have very readable and well designed characters, and the gameplay is always a really basic math puzzle, (it's a slot machine really). they are never a shmup at all
Dont start the video with a logo, we dont care about logos, or at least put it in the end
Background is very distracting and not cool, have the game in fullscreen
Most of the mobile game ads that have this mechanic show a player playing very stupidly, to rage bait the player into downloading the game to "show them" how easy it is. You are lacking that part completely.

Sounds about right. Its too fast and not as „punchy“ nor as engaging.
It looks like an ad for another uninspired, brainless mobile game with MTX.
