How does your game match the theme?
The game takes place in space. You use the lack of gravity to move around. The aim of the game is to defend the Space Station from an invasion of aliens.

The movement mechanics are quite unique. It was super satisfying when I was able to plan ahead and kill several enemies in quick succession (except the times I bumped into a wall and got killed).
Nice presentation too, congrats!!
Very cool little game! I like the music a lot, especially the Big Peepers' theme.
Will say though, the controls ended up a bit frustrating - I kept accidentally dashing into stuff when trying to go diagonally because I let go of a movement button a fraction before the dash button and Space Ninja snapped back into side position instantly. Could I have solved this by not letting go of the movement buttons ever? Yeah, but if you gotta do multiple quick dashes for platforming purposes, then holding them down until you're well and truly sure you've dashed is a good way to not redirect in time. So, weird as it sounds, it feels like the controls were a little too responsive.
Fun & unique idea! The freezeframe when you kill an enemy is really satisfying
Only nitpick is the use of 5 colours, rather than the 4 a gameboy has.
Absolutely loved it! Great game mechanics, great graphics and sound. Soooo addictive! :-)
I don't have much to add; this is great! The mechanic reminds me a lot of the dash from Hyper Light Drifter.
Cool and unique gameplay. The impact frame is INSANE. I have no complaints. Full score from me.
