Nice concept and its execution! Liked the music and effects, makes the game more immersive.

I think the controls are a bit "clunky," since pressing the A and D keys moves the ship in discrete steps rather than continuously, but you get used to it quickly.

Really like the art, the rain effect on the screen and the wave cutouts look really good. The controls felt a little clunky.

First of all. thank you for playing! Rather then pressing spacebar right away, wait a bit for it's mouth to close. You wouldnt want to give it a free meal now.

Hi! That's great to hear. Many things worthwhile take a few tries so that makes sense and is intended to be played that way. The fade in screen can freeze because of loading the shaders which can take a bit longer, as we did not have time to implement a proper shader cache system.

I think something is wrong with the game. It just showed a black screen and then the page crashed.

Try refreshing the page again please, it coud be the shaders not loading properly, we did not have time to implement a proper shader cache, so give the fade in screen a of time to load.
