Really nice visuals and the gameplay is fun, especially the powerups! This game feels very polished for the amount of time we had in the jam. Well done!
Very good, liking the curved movement, liking the challenge, liking the feeling of panic when I miss. Looks good and feels good, great job!
Loved the art style and color choice! I really enjoyed the smash powerup. It felt so good to go on a rampage against the asteroids for a few seconds.
Some minor feedback, that you're welcome to ignore :), would be to add WASD controls (not sure if possible with PICO8) and maybe make the shields stack if the player gets more than one (not sure if they do, just seemed like they didn't).
And I really loved the asteroid impact carving out parts of the planet. Along with the bit of screen shake, made for some great juiciness!
Thanks for the feedback!
I think it's possible to add WASD to the web version, I'll give that a try once the rating period is up. I was thinking about having the shields stack, but I wasn't sure if that would make it too easy to accumulate a lot of shields early... Maybe I'll try letting you have a second layer at least. It's not really obvious, but if you pick up a shield powerup while you already have a shield, you get 5 points, so it's still worth grabbing them.
Yeah the asteroid impacts are cool! One of those things that ended up being simple to add, but made a huge difference.
Love the gameplay for this one. The difficulty curve is really nice and it doesn't get overwhelming that quickly. Thanks for the fun!
I love the art style. Think it is such a cool idea for a game aswell fits so well with the theme.
You manage to make your games look so polished considering you make them in 48 hours ! So addictive too
Pretty cool arcade game!
The gameplay is simple but fit with the 2 themes, it's a big yes for me! Plus, there is a good challenge and the game is quite exciting. Music and fx are great.
Maybe a mobile version someday ;)?
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm still working on making a mobile version of my last Pico-8 game, but never say never! I should at least be able to get the web version playable on a phone with a little work.
The game is almost easier if you don't punch at all and just stay on the surface. This game is really cool.
Glad you liked it :D
Yeah that works pretty well when you first start, but after a while it starts to let a lot through. Also you don't get points for blocking without punching!
Really fun game, specially when you pick the power up that makes you punch constantly.
Definitely liked this game
