The artwork is stunning! Also, the experience of shooting downwards from top to bottom was a really fresh take! (ツ)ノ

Really cool game. I especially liked the pace changes and different objectives between the missions. The sound is also very fitting and the graphics fit also very well to the type of game. For some reason I had always a scroll bar next to the game even in full screen. Maybe something you could improve. I also see this as a very cool mobile game, especially because of the portrait format. You would just need to add some touch controls.
Congratulations to the cool retro style game with some nice innovative ideas! Well done.

Scrapbeat DashI cannot tell you enough how I love arcade style shooters and space themes! So Cool!

Kitty BeachAwesome! Great balance and progression of difficulty, and not too long or too short. The music especially kicks ass.
If you’re looking for something to improve, the sprites all felt a little flat. I think some animation would help them. Like maybe the hero ship, when it moves left or right, do a tilted view of it?

XRM: Extreme Racing MachinesNice story. Nice enemy variety. Nice difficulty progression. Nice ending (won't spoil it). This, my friend, is a masterpiece!

Codepath()Hi, I was going to try out your game, you have a really nice intro to it!! But for some reason the PLAY button is missing for this game on Chrome browser in Windows 11. I tried to open it on Wavedash, but the same, then on my phone, and the button was there, but I can not use SPACE button to start...
Update: so I connected my keyboard to my phone and was able to start it, but the arrow keys were not working, so I couldn´t play. But then, I pressed the spacebar on my PC, because I saw in the intro press SPACE to skip...and it worked, well, I am not very experienced playing on the browsers :) So I played and got to mission 3 for now ;) Really impressive how finetuned the playability of the game is, in just 2 weeks! :)) I see that it was programmed as well for the YouTube playables, lightweight and in a vertical view, not many games are like this here. I injoyed playing it!

Lala Cats vs MachinesSimple game, but really nice opening intro and some good thought put into it. The returning scene threw me off, and then warding off the pirates with the asteroids made that probably the most innovative thing I've seen in a space shmup in a while.
