Excepcionally good job for a first Jam! totally rocket that vampire survivor style. I'm impressed at how you avoided lag due to having many instances on the scene. I know it may have been due to time constraints, but wuold be nice the have some kind of sfx control in the future.

First, Congrats on your first jam!!

I need to address this first, but I LOVED the visuals!! The pixel art (Especially the start scene planets), the effects and just the overall atmosphere were really well made!

For the gameplay, I was kinda confused where to go, wherever i went, the arrows would show up and the playable area felt a bit small.
Especially compared to the sheer quantity of astroids!

Speaking of astroids (and the drops) it is REALLY commendable as to how you managed to have SOOO much stuff on the screen at the same time without a single bit of lag. I legit did not face any lag at all. I dont know what you did but Id say you handled all those objects very efficiently!

Returning to the gameplay, the game despite throwing large amounts of astroids on you felt too easy. The drops were too overpowered and unless I TRIED, it was kinda hard to die..
It was also kinda repetitive. Like just hordes of astroids spammed on you surrounding you

Also when you get hit like 10 times at the same time, that camera shake goes WAYY TOO HARD, like it becomes impossible to even see. When you get hit once or even twice, the shake is really good. But it like multiplies too much when hit alot. So Id suggest to tone it down just a bit

I usually have my volume very low so maybe its different for me but I didnt really face the loud SFX problem that other ppl got, it was really fine for me

Overall, I love the art and visuals of the game, also like the Sfx! The astroids get too overwhelming but are never enough to actually kill you. The drops are too powerful. Also the camera shake on dmg by too many enemies can feel overwhelming.

With a bit of tweaking, this can be quite a solid game! 

And congrats again with your first jam! You really outdid yourself. This is a really really great starting point :D

Developer

that is one of the greatest pieces of advice that I have heard I will implement it in my next one for sure thanks a lot for commenting this 🫂👍

Developer

I know this is so early to ask but do you wanna be my friend we can do some game jams together!!!!

Submitted

Im not planning to team at the moment, but we could just add each other on discord for later jams!

Great ideas. the sounds were a bit to load

Developer

Developer

I just played your game your game’s sound design was really great It was fun and entertaining!!!!🫂🤌

tbh I didn't really enjoy the game, the concept and the intro are very cool, but all I did in the game was move up and spam the mouse to shoot, also picking up the green gem hurts the ears, especially if you pick many at one. another problem is there was no danger as I kept picking up more health than taking damage. to make it more interesting I would make the asteroids give less health, but also spawn a bit less of them. also lower the volume of picking up the green gems

Developer

Fact👍 I will try to change all of my mistakes in the next one😁👍

Fun Game, Although I Wasn't Taking Damage For A While. I Think It's Because It Keeps Healing After Max Health, But Could Be Easily Fixed With A Cap.

I can’t able to finish it all by the time that’s why these kind of bugs have appeared Thanks for the suggestion though I will try to improve that in the next one🫂

Game is simple, but fun. Fine art and animations. But i think there is a problem with HP, which doesn't have limit , as the result then you collect lot of health packs u become almost invisible.

I like the game idea and the intro was cool. The amount of asteroids spawning was intense though I didn't know what was going on lol. Good job on the submission!

I loved the intro !



I managed to gain 5075 points before my pc (and my eardrums) couldn't handle it anymore.

Didn't find any blackhole but at one point I felt like I was teleporter to another place on the map, maybe it was just a collision bug ?

Developer

Forgot to tell you have to move forward 😅

Submitted

oh ok XD yeah I could have waited for a veeeeery long time killing all the asteroids and filling up on score

Developer

Just move forward It suck you in💀 and move to next scene

Developer

I can’t able to make a tutorial did you guys able to find the black hole which sucks you in and transition to the next scene😅

I wish there was a hold to shoot but other than that very action packed and fun. I liked the ships animation a lot

Submitted(+1)

at first I thought how I'm gonna destroy all the asteroids with the weak shooting of the left click, but then I paused the game and saw the laser, which then I simply kept the middle button pressed and started to spin like a madman, only after 1 minute spinning that I thought to move   XD

 it was fun

I like the concept and art! I die every time I respawn tho>V<

Submitted(+2)

maybe there is a bug, as i click respawn, it appears in the middle of asteroid barrage so i kept dying without able to get to safety. Cool art and cutscenes, though!

Developer(+1)

Actually there are lot of bugs I don’t know how to fix it😂😂😂 But thanks for your comment😅👍 To dodge the asteroid barrage Try using the laser beam by clicking the middle mouse button but still it will be hard.
