I liked the risk system—it's a sound game design idea.

Hi, thank you for playing and for the kind words!

This is a really fun game. If you'd expanded it with upgrades and stuff between rounds, it would feel like a really fleshed out game. Unfortunately at the moment it's lifespan is pretty restricted, but in that time it is really fun (my high score was 632). It needs a decent bit of skill to play, making it something I could see myself competing against my friends at.

Edit: One more thing, the sound gets a little annoying when you're spamming a lot, maybe replacing it with a continuous sound that fades in and out depending on whether you're using your thrusters would help?

Hi, and thank you! ๐Ÿ˜…

I wanted to add some upgrades, but I didn't have enough time. And yes... I know the sound is annoying. It was made in a rush. 

I wanted my game to be a little bit bigger... At least to have an in-game story (text boxes, crew sprites, etc.). But, unfortunately, due to the lack of time, I ended up with half of all features I wanted. So after the jam, I want to finish it properly.

Again, thank you for playing and for the kind words. Also, congrats on your score!

I like the risk/reward of scoring system, forcing you to click faster for more points but at the risk of ending the run early. The palette swap was definitely a nice touch. I also enjoyed the writing to build the backstory on the game page's description. The ship design was cool too. Great work!

Hi, and thank you! ๐Ÿ˜…

To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should keep the palette swap or not... And I wasn't sure if the story was good either. So, I'm really happy that you liked it! I'm also really glad you liked the ship design (off the record, I spent most of my time just working on that ship animation...).

In the end, thank you for playing and for the kind words!

Pretty straightforward game. Mobile compatible as well.

I loved the palette swap!

Thanks for playing! ๐Ÿ˜…


I know it's not as creative with the main mechanic as it could have been... But I'm glad it turned out the way it did.


And to be honest... I was trying to make a mobile game. Everything was working... Except Buildozer (the thing I was using to make mobile builds)... So, with the help of Pygbag, I ended up making a web build instead.


Also... Thanks! The palette swap was a last-minute change to the game, and I wasn't even sure whether I should keep it or not. ๐Ÿ˜…

Cute game, pretty short but the high score system kept me coming back

Developer(+1)

Hi, and thank you! ๐Ÿ˜…

I know it's a short game, but I didn't have much time to work on it. So, each sprite was made in a short amount of time, and I'm not very good at graphic design. So, you've really made my day ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you for playing and for your kind words!
