Lepak Lamb Studio

The game doesn't fit my screen. I have to zoom out on my browser to play it.
The charming hand-drawn art, soothing music, and even some voice acting delights me.
This seems to be a visual novel. The story is mildly pleasant, but very simple and short, perhaps targeted at very young children.
There are a few small problems, like text being cut off one time, or the text background disappearing another time, but nothing too unbearable.
Overall, I enjoyed my time here! :)

My playthrough thoughts:

The graphics, sound, and overall polish are at a publishable level and far exceed other games in the jam.
Controls didn't need to be explained and just worked the way I intuited.
The character feels clumsy and imprecise to control, with inconsistent jump heights, and can sometimes get caught on corners or even briefly "unravel".
At the start, it wasn't obvious that I was supposed to be unable to use the gun yet.
I like that the gun is used for movement.
The gun's large spread makes shooting also feel clumsy and imprecise.
Sometimes the gun doesn't shoot at where I'm aiming, especially when I'm aiming upwards (not talking about the spread, but the average).
I couldn't beat the first boss that I encountered (the spider boss). I now see in a comment below that I was warned about it, but during the playthrough, I had interpreted that warning as a kinda "It'll be a difficult challenge, but you can do it, good luck!"
Overall, I had some fun! If the movement and shooting were much more precise, this would be a game I'd definitely buy.

This was ridiculously fun for a good 10 minutes! It required just the right amount of skill without being too difficult.

My playthrough thoughts:

The keyboard sometimes stops working for menu navigation.
Using Esc to cancel is not so good on the itch.io platform because it also exits fullscreen mode.
In the first stage, it took me quite some time to realise that to initiate an attack, I needed to select a ship first rather than select a target. I don't think most players would intuitively understand this without a tutorial or instructions, especially since it isn't immediately obvious that the ship is a player-controlled unit rather than another type of target.
In the second stage with two ships, it seems that I have to issue all commands to the left ship first, and end its turn, before issuing commands to the right ship, but again this isn't immediately obvious.
If I cannot Move further, I shouldn't be allowed to select the Move command.
The attack range is bugged. Ships can actually attack anywhere on the map.
The second stage involves too much busywork without introducing anything new other than a second ship. Ordinarily, I likely would have stopped playing at this point.
After I closed the game, I saw that you wrote "Waves can occupy tiles and push ships away, as well as push attacks around them." I played through the third stage without encountering this. I even tried to attack what looked like the aforementioned waves, but nothing happened.
Overall, I think it's a solid start, but needs more UX polish, and further mechanics and enemies.

My playthrough thoughts:

I like the starting controls page. And Wavy is cute! :D
The first enemy is too close to my spawn point. It's spawncamping me!
X has a shorter range than I'd expect. I thought I would simply need to press ZXZ, but I found that I actually need to press Z, move towards the stunned enemy, and then press X.
The first and only level was short but fun! But short! More please~

My playthrough thoughts:

Pressing S to decelerate causes the wings to appear swept back, which seems counterintuitive, since I think swept-back wings usually indicate higher speeds? (I don't know why this is the first thing I noticed.)
At first I thought that holding Space starts timesink, and releasing Space stops it. When I released Space and nothing happened, I then thought that timesink couldn't be stopped (and I was struggling to deal with enemies while locating the part of the HUD that displays timesink values). It was only after I kept thinking while playing that an unstoppable timesink shouldn't be good game design that I experimented more and realised that I had to press Space again to stop timesink.
I play on browser, and the game stutters heavily now and then.
The starting was frantic, with unfamiliar controls, a busy HUD, and enemies swarming me. But after I got used to it, I even found the playstyle and upgrades a little simplistic and wanted more variations. But for what there was, I did have some fun!

Thanks for the suggestion! This is a bit trickier, so I'll keep it in mind for when I have more time.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't know how it looks like on your side, but I've made some changes that may hopefully help.

Thanks for letting me know! I have fixed it.
