I very much like the style and the upgrade system. For me the waves of enemies could appear quicker, but i guess that is personal. Also you can try to make the "baddies" (like the double sun?) more distinct as enemies. Oherwise great work!

Use of the limitation
The ship is unique, if it's destroyed, game over. You'll have to start from the very beginning again.

I ate a lot of potato ships... I think that counts in?

Thanks man!! About the waves, it's kinda like of a limitation, because they already spawn very close to the border of the screen, but they have a very low base speed. But in the future i'm planning to increase this speed, or even make it a difficult changer, like every X waves the base speed of the enemies increase and they get faster the more you survive.
The game is really fun, the art style is great and sound effecs are also good. Fun game, i like it. :)

A Level BelowNice job!! I like how the damage was represented in the graphics of the ship haha. The enemies are cool and challenging, the movements change every time. Congratulations!!

Echo: BeneathFun game! I like that you created multiple enemy ship patterns and also multiple obstacles to add variety, which helps stop the game from feeling monotonous.
I do think you could rework the game over screen after the jam ends, as the text in it is currently pretty small and crammed together, and slightly reduce the time between encountering enemies and obstacles.

Within These DepthsNice! Did you do all the graphics by yourself? It鈥檚 pretty impressive. The black hole catch me the first time. And I run thought the stars the first time . The sun and the blackholes are good ideas. On my last try I add no choice to try to go between 2 big stars.

Deepest GreedIt was fun! But i have questions: its like and endless journey? i died but i dont really know how i got damage. Maybe it was necessary to add more explanation in some type of encounter. I talk specifically with the 2 suns(?) that was the probably reason i died, maybe? But it was a fun cute game with nice art! Great submission

Go deep, Mr. Slimey!Thanks for playing and for the comment!!! And yes, probably it was the stars. They cause heat damage over time when your ship is too close. I'm considering doing like other games from the jam and adding a screen with some info about gameplay, but I don't know if it's ok to add something new to a game already submitted. Until now I'm only solving the bugs I see in my way. xP
This is a very cool space game! I really like the pixel art, especially the blackhole, it kinda reminds me of Gargantua from interstellar so that's very cool! I liked how the black holes dragged you in which was a neat mechanic. All the core mechanics were very well done considering the time frame.
Some critiques I had:
I don't know how long this game is or if it's an endless game but I think this game can be improved with more variety such as more enemy types and more frequent encounters.
This game will also benefit from background space ambience music
If the upgrades were tied to the enemy kills that would be great addition
These are just small critiques for after the game jam, considering the time frame this is an amazing game jam entry!

Coffee RunnerHey Pikachu! Thanks for replying. The idea is to be an infinite Game, but considering the time box, I had no chopice but to repeat some enemies, but now the Jam is done, I could use some spare time to improve the game. About the powerups, the intended gameplay is to a powerup appear reandomly after 3 waves beaten, but I forget the cheats on hehehehe
