LOL that was fun. The particles excells well, visually appealing. If you want to expand this further, try adding powerups to spice things up. Like burst exhaust after drift that acts like a shotgun, dash strike that damages units you pass through after drift. Solid entry, good work.
This was fun! I really liked the drift-to-attack mechanic and particle effects
The movement mechanic is super interesting! The music is awesome, and the art style is also good. Not sure about the killing mechanic, though. I tried to make them slam into each other with the missiles, then resorted to crushing into them repeatedly.
This is super fun! Big fan of the movement mechanics, and the pixel art is really pretty. I couldn't figure out how to attack other than to ram enemy ships, but that seemed to do the trick haha.
It's really fun for me and intially i also wasnt quite getting how to drift and destroy enemy ships. but then i realized i can just spam click in close combat which does more damage for me and actually managed to score points. I enjoy the different type of ships, attack types and animation! feels very consistent and clean. had lots of fun! great work!
I love the game, although I don't fully understand how it fits with the jam theme.
This game is great. My on critique is the enemies. I feel the enemies should try to shoot you differently. When the spin around in a circle, it makes it hard to find a vantage point. Besides that, your game is really cool!
Yikes, this game is hard! My final score was 14. I had a really hard time hitting anything at all with my rocket trail, or controlling where my ship went for that matter. Spent the whole time basically just thrashing around. I thought the idea of destroying things with your exhaust was good, but in practice it didn't feel fun.
What is that "knocking" sound that seemed to be going on all the time meant to indicate?
Yeah, I always kind of felt the drift mechanic was a bit hard to use, but I ran out of time to fix it. I think that knocking sound is the shooting enemies shooting. Thanks for playing my game !
this game is great all though you will need skill to play it
A game with a very original mechanic.
Visually and musically, the game is good, but it particularly stands out for its unique drifting mechanic. Unfortunately, I haven’t fully grasped the mechanic and ended up spamming the button to deal with enemies. The tutorial is appreciated, but even then, the drift mechanics aren’t entirely clear. In fact, at first, I was trying to hold the button down, and it made the game almost impossible to play (the ship would go out of control and never hit any enemies).
Another small issue I found is that many enemies shoot at you and are constantly aiming at you, so when I tried to approach them, they would end up damaging me without me being able to do anything about it. Maybe this could be fixed by generating a shield while the drift boost is active.
On the other hand, there are a good variety of enemies, which makes it very fun to play. If you added some kind of progressive difficulty (for example, larger waves or bosses) and a reward system (like improving drift power or recovering health every X levels), I think it could turn into an amazing game.
Great job ^^
Ah, yeah I probably should've made a better tutorial, and maybe I could improve the enemies a bit in a later update. Thank you for playing!
I couldn't understand how to beat up alien spaceships so I just rammed into them instead...
It was pretty hard for me to drift and damage the aliens...
Ah, thats ok, sorry it wasn't clear enough, thanks for playing my game anyways
That makes me remember that I haven't put a proper tutoria
Very fun game! Took me a bit to figure out to destroy the bots haha, but super fun!
The mechanics are very cool, and the spaceship effects are awesome, the sounds too! It gives a feeling like Sonic charging up to run! Maybe adding a space background would enhance the overall sense of movement and speed. Very nice!
Thats a good idea! Thanks for playing my game
