This was an amazing implementation of this style of theme interpretation of looping around something to defend it. The art and music were all very fitting and the gameplay was a lot of fun! I also like how the levels ramp up in difficulty overtime changing(for me atleast) from trying to shoot everything down to just doing my best to survive the last few seconds.
Thank you! I'm glad we are able to provide you with a fun experience that wasn't too difficult or easy (we struggled with that in our first game). Really glad you liked the art and music too!
I think it's the perfect theme implementation. It was a really good one!
Thanks so much! :)
I like the how different each of the enemies looked and felt, and the story was fun. Your ship only going one direction in the loop made for interesting game play, and made me approach the game in a new way. I did wish I could shoot while boosting, and the delay in being able to fire again after getting hit was a bit of a challenge, particularly with the chaser enemies.
Very fun game, very nice balance of spawning and resources (energy, health, base health). For some reason i reaaaaally loved the boost feel, it is so smooth and satisfying to speed around. My only issue was with the timed levels, i wish i could beat it in smaller time if i did well managing ship and base's health. and as someone else mentioned in mac ctrl+arrow keys gives clunky behaviour. i would have to release ctrl to be able to aim somewhere else. Not sure if it was possible to do both together but when i tried my browser would not like it.
A nice and simple game that's enjoyable to play. The only thing I'm missing is a sense of agency. Even when I do everything right and progress from mission to mission, I don't have any tools to prevent the mothership from taking damage
We’ve got the same style of firing controls! Really liked the game — the different enemy types kept it fun and engaging.
Hey, thanks for checking out our game! I really enjoyed the narrative of your game and the music! The music reminded me of Metroid 4: Fusion and Castlevania combined, which I thought was interesting. I didn't really have any problems with the controls except that ctrl and space bar does bring up tabs for me on windows, but other than that it was pretty solid!
Controls need a little more work I think. But great art and sound design, and a neat interpretation on the theme. Great job!!
Neat concept, and great art and sound design!
I feel like the game could be improved by some tweaks to the controls, and maybe some changes to the spawn patterns. It was kind of unexpected that the aim direction would reset to center every time I boosted, especially when I boosted just a tiny bit and then had to tilt the guns all the way over again. I also didn’t love when the enemies spawned just behind you, especially on the levels with particularly long orbital loops. I get that part of the challenge is dealing with that situation, but I felt like I was frequently using all my boost just to circle around and get the one enemy that was right behind me.
Overall though, I enjoyed it! I got to the third level and then got obliterated by a line of the millipede enemies with just a couple of seconds left xD
Cool game! Controls do feel a bit wonky though, I would probably expect space to shoot instead of boost. Great work! :D
A good game : ) was fun to boost around and rush to different corners to wipe the aliens!
