This game need to be mastered to handle the control. I died very fast but i was learning. Somehow i became Tomb Raider, shoot the enemy and then grapple the hell out of the way.

It's a nice game overall.

There really isn't much for me to say, as it's really polished. Main menu, upgrade system, nice movement setup with a mouse, interesting variety of opponents to keep the player form sticking into one strategy. It's solid other than maybe being a bit tedious to search down through enemies.

The only thing this lacks, and its from how this is a 2 jam submission game (still impressive to somewhat tie both), is that it's out of focus with the theme as the use of "Singularity" while the drifting aspect is full front and center. It isn't incorporated into the main game loop and yeah. It's more like a flavor, but it ends up being annoying, as it only acts as a enemy collector for most of the time or getting you stuck.

Other than that, I enjoyed it (even if I haven't beaten the Trial yet lol), Thank you for submitting to the game jam!

Great job!  I enjoyed the recoil mechanics a lot.

  • I think the blackhole is just acting as hinderance that takes away otherwise fun movement mechanic
  • A limit on how far the shotgun works (screen height will prob. do) 

Apart from that the game is Awesome!

Wow, that's a really cool game.

I ended up playing this for way longer than I expected. The upgrade system gives you incentive to do "just one more run." Really good!

Insanely addictive. I agree with toveno on the full release part
