Nice game! At first I thought i could just hold the fire button, but that sets you back, so you have to choose.
The music in game was really good and not tiring, although i'd like a settings menu to control volume.
Good job!

Thank you so much!


Definitely wanted to add a settings menu, but was struggling for time. I've never added one before and was worried I'd make it half-baked, so I decided to scrap it. Will definitely find time for it next jam! 


Thanks for playing!

A nice retro shooter, sounds good, nice graphics... But I'm that kind of people that let the button push too fire like was no tomorrow. So I fail a lot in games that doesn't make this... I like to feel that. Is a nice entry but patience is key.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! And yeah, you can't just spam the button all the time. You said it well, patience is key. With certain powerups, you can shoot for a long time but especially at the beginning I can see how you feel! 


Thank you so much for playing!

Nice job! I love SHMUPS! I really like the visuals, and the music and sound effects fit really well with the gameplay. Also, a really clever take on the theme. It's quite challenging, and the game loop is addictive. Awesome job!

Developer

Wow, I really appreciate all the kind words! That means a lot coming from you. Thank you so much for playing!

I like the exploding Stone animation and the Ship Design.
Would be cool if it Tilts to the sides when moving

hello, I submitted my project literally like one minute too late for me to participate, but HelperWesley has allowed me to vote on the games and said I could ask for feedback. so if anyone wanted I would REALLY appreciated if people could give a fake rating of my game and some feedback. like say how many stars you would give it for each topic and stuff. I spent 50+ hours working on this so super thanks to those who give feedback!
