Loved the style of the game! Building the ship feels really satisfying!
Thanks!!
This game is awesome. Very satisfying to play, very well-polished -- even though I can't get past three minutes.
Thanks for playing! The difficulty curve could have definitely been improved.
Very polished but also I struggled to control the ship without slamming into asteroids, haha.
Glad you liked the polish! The controls were definitely challenging, but that was to encourage more action and dodging 😊
Es un juego muy divertido y frenético, con mejoras y personalización de nave. Muy bien diseñado todo, felicidades!
Gracias!
This is super polished for a game jam game, nice job! I loved the music and sfx so much, and the visual style was great as well. Nice job!
Glad you liked it!
thank u!!! ❤️
This is amazing already! Music and visuals work nicely and it plays very well!
Many thanks!! The audio guys really elevated the feel of the game.
That was very pleasant experience!
I've seen several game which had the similar idea. But this game has the most polished and coolest implementation so far!
So many sexy details, like red transparent laser which helps to aim!
Grumpy note: make ship follow cursor and place "Buy menu" button on the screen which pressable by cursor is cursed :)
Very cool! One of not many entries which I want to play not just because it's a game jam entry but because it's a nice game! Take "high five" stars!
Thanks a lot for playing and reviewing! The polish, building, and lighting took a lot of time and hard work, so we're glad you liked it!
We did mention TAB to open shop in the guide screen, but we definitely could have been more clear about that shortcut.
Really appreciate the kind words and rating!
Oh, shoot. My bad then about TAB button. I thought about Esc during the game but it was pause menu.
Maybe a little (Tab) on the button will help in future :)
Anyway, that was cool to play! Stop by to play our submission if you'll have a moment to spare.
Declaring this game as one of the best from the jams would not be a doubt because it's a game with complete features, art style, mechanics and clever ideas linking to the theme.
It will be an ho our if you play and rate my game as well.
Many thanks for the kind words! I will definitely play your game too.
I suck at these kinds of games, but I like the upgrade system!
Thanks for playing!
I found this difficult to play. Not usually good at these style of games mind. Good mechanics and particle effects.
Thanks for the feedback! Difficulty could certainly have been more balanced.
Aside from the fact that I suck at controlling the ship, this game is awesome! It feels pretty robust and complete.
Upgrading mechanism was great and exciting, I wish I was a bit better at steering my ship! lol
Glad you liked it, the controls could definitely be more intuitive. Thanks for playing!
Great game! The fact that upgrade my ship also makes it easier for asteroids to hit me is AWESOME! That sort of dynamic difficulty shows you know what you're doing. Loved it!
Thanks a lot for playing and reviewing our game!
The size increase does make it harder to dodge, but also unlocks damage-reducing health-regenerating armor, so I feel its a good trade-off.
Glad you enjoyed!
Really polished and great experience, although I did not really understand the healing at first and thought that I could just boost through the small meteorites without damage. Quite a hard game, but enjoyable none the less.
Thanks for playing! The healing could definitely have been more intuitive.
I ultimately have ragequit from the game after dying a ridiculous amount of times, but it was quite fun! My only complain is that if we die we lose *all* of our progress (we can't resume on the previous ship level for example) and that there wasn't anything to warn me that by upgrading my ship I'll lose all the current parts. Otherwise it's quite a good entry!
Thanks for playing.
Sorry about the difficulty, it's takes time to balance which we wished we had. It would take even more time to save the previous ship level when restarting, but those are definitely good ideas for the future versions of the game to make it more engaging!
Glad you still liked the game still, and we appreciate the feedback!
The polish duuude! This is what we were trying to go with. But we ended up with just the survival no action.
Thanks for playing!
Wow, the level of quality is impressive ! Everything is very well done, well done !
the game is just a bit difficult at first
Thanks for playing and reviewing!
We agree, the difficulty needs a lot of work, more time should have been dedicated to playtesting / balancing.
Appreciate the feedback!
A really great experience! Loving the polish on this one, especially the game loop too!
Thanks for playing. The polish took a lot of work, so we're glad it paid off!
Nice idea. I find it strange that when you have rocket boosters they are automatically on, and then boost more when you move forward, it made the movement slightly harder to control, but overall good job!
Thanks for playing and providing feedback!
The ship moves constantly to encourage action and dodging, but that could be changed when we work on the game in the future to give the player more control.
Nice work, the gameplay with fully customisable ship is fun.
I found a bug, if you equip only missiles on T2 ship you cant move but enemies cant hurt you anymore, so you can just let the game run and let the score increase :)
Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed!
That's an odd bug, maybe collisions don't work with missiles. As for not being able to move, that's likely due to the lack of rocket thruster.
Thanks for playing and providing feedback!
Nice work! This one is really well polished. The art and visuals look so great and once ai started to get the hang of the gameplay it really hooked me in.
Believe it or not though I was kind of nervous to upgrade my ship at times because I felt like it would make me a bigger target hehe :-D.
Really fun gameplay. Great job on this!
Glad you enjoyed the game!
As for you becoming a bigger target, it's balanced since you can buy "armor enhancers" which provide damage reduction and health regeneration, so a bigger ship is, in-fact, better 😊
