A simple game that's fun to play. It's a neat start for a decent shmup. The ship controls very nicely and the game looks pretty clean. Well done!

Thank you for your kind words! <3 Your game was also very good from what I was able to finish

Good start! Doing the falling enemies must have been difficult, but i look forward to seeing how you work on making more shmup games! Making your own assets helps loads!

Thank you! I would love to make more, and yes with my own assets next time. Thank you for checking it out and the kind words <3

Easy to pick up and play right away which is a good thing in a Jam! My high score was 3150 I think I could eventually play almost endlessly if I really focused. You may consider ramping the difficulty as you get more power-ups or something like that, so there's a risk/reward component to it

Thank you for the kind words! Agree with all the criticisms, would love to expand on making a bigger, more fulfilling shmup thing with what what I've learned

Your game is one of my faves so far!

Nice idea for the theme, movement felt pretty clean.

Fun arcade game, like that there is no shooting and main mechanic is just gaining power. fun!

Developer

Thank you! I wish I could take some aesthetic inspiration from your game for my next jam. But as it is, I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3 Appreciate the kind words

The assets were cute and the animations were fun. My high score was over 5300!

Love the art! Making the viewport a bit longer would help when planning to dodge. A roll ability like in Starfox would put the icing on the cake!

the art style of the ship and pink enemies is SO cute and chunky!
