Nice game! The controls feel pretty distinctive but also familiar enough, in a cool way, and it's quite satisfying to play!
Thanks for playing ! I'm glad you enjoyed !
A truly professional development, from the sounds to the graphics. Great job.
Thanks a lot !
Very satisfying game play. It gets a bit repetitive after some time, weapon upgrades and more variability would be great for an after jam extension. Awesome graphics, worked really well in HTML5, too.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll be sure to make the game feel better :)
I'm glad to have checked this out! I liked your artwork and the control screen especially. I'd love to jump in a call and look at your menus. Awesome job with this project
Thanks for playing, and yeah, maybe more on Monday, but I'll schedule time to make a read me file and upgrade it a bit !
Visuals are great, had to spend some time getting used to the controls but still had a lot of fun.
Black hole physics is pretty sick and also special points for the menu :D
Great job, congrats!
Thanks a lot for playing ! I'll be sure to check your game too !
This is great, it feels like a flashgame I would've played for hours when I was a kid. The movement is great I like how you slightly move when you rotate. The bullets orbiting around the black holes adds a nice bit of depth to the gameplay. And the inclusion of such a well built options menu is praise worthy. Honestly the only thing this game is missing is a good soundtrack.
Thanks ! That's a shame you didn't like the music in there ! Would you have needed something more dynamic ?
I wouldn't say I disliked it, the subtle background music was a good addition. I think some upbeat songs might've fit a little better. But you'd probably need a few so they don't get jarring when replaying the difficult levels over and over.
Thanks. I will keep that in mind
I liked the visuals of this a lot, with some more polish they could look even greater. The controls felt a tadbit awkward - maybe doing something where you aim with the mouse pointer could feel more natural. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Lot's of cool VFX in this one. I liked the weapon fire animation in particular, it felt satisfying.
There were a lot of levels to play through, which was nice. It would be cool to include a bigger sense of progression as you play through them.
I enjoyed the physics impact of weapon hits, it felt really good to knock enemies into black holes.
Thanks a lot ! That's true that it needs a sense of progression, do you have any ideas on how ?
I think either weapon upgrades or enemy variety would be a good place to start.
