How does your game represent "Power"?
You can spend a quantity of Score equal to the power of X (as in mathematically) to upgrade your ship's power

A fellow math head :D Very fun and loved the upgrade/power system Nuke is very strong!
Hahahaha! Once I knew the jam theme, the mathematic expression "to the power" came to mind and I just had to use it somehow!
Thank you for playing it! And yeah, the "Big Boom" will boom less once I update the game hahaha.
Glad you guys decided submit even with some missing abilities because I enjoyed playing it, I always find upgrade systems very compelling!
I actually thought about not submiting anything, since the game didn't reach the level of completeness I wanted it to have, however, I still wanted it to have at least the main gameplay loop, so I managed to put together 2 skills, some upgrades and one enemy, the bare minimum I'd say.
Im honestly quite happy that despite all that, people still managed to enjoy it, so I think I'll probably update it some time in the future and finish what I wanted this game to be.
Oh, and I also like a lot upgrade systems!
I think the bones of this are interesting and the base gameplay is fun but it seems quite unfinished, which does tend to happen with jams. The visuals are nice and the controls feel good. Would love to see this finished and the bugs fixed. Good work!
It is indeed quite unfinished! I managed my time pretty badly and ended up doing like 60-70% of what it is on the last day. I'd love to finish it some time in the future, at least with what I had planned for the jam.
Im happy that you liked how it played and looked!
Cool game. Great work on making abilities so satisfying to use.
They would have looked even better if I hadn't wasted so much time of the jam playing games hahaha!
Thank you for playing it and for your comment!
Great arcade game, the bomb felt really powerful and satisfying. I really like collecting points and the concept of to the power!
Thanks! During my testing I really liked when the bomb left a lot of points to pick up after destroying many enemies! However, some balancing must be done if I update the game in the future hahaha.
fun game, and a good idea , i hope you will rate my game 🧡😊
Im happy that you liked it!
Neat little arcade game, I had a lot of fun blasting the enemy ships! I don't think I understood how third and fourth power ups worked, but the first two were enough to last me for a solid amount of time. Well done!
Thanks for playing! Unfortunately I wasnt able to finish all that I wanted for the jam, and that includes the 3rd and 4th skills, even though you could unlock them in the shop. Im happy that you liked it despite its shortcomings!
I CRASHED MY BROWSER. That and the slow mo effect to help dodge when you have a lot of enemies on screen is nice. Jokes aside, I feel like this game has a lot of potential, and it reminds me of Geometry Wars. I would have liked to see different types of enemies, maybe scaling on the enemies other than just spawning more, and so on. The thing that bugged me the most though is that the game plays too slowly, I feel like you could speed the game up by 2-3x and it would play a lot better. That said, I liked the art and the juice was really good. Overall a really good game, well done!
Thanks! I definitely had inspiration from Geometry Wars!
I already know some parts where I could optimize the game so that it doesn't lags as hard as it does now hahaha, and I'd also like to add some thing I couldnt manage to get done for the jam, like the other skilss and upgrades and more enemy types. I'd have to test more about the overall game speed.though.
Besides the bugs, this game was very fun to play! The soundtrack is catchy and the sound effects work and sound right. I would want to see a second iteration of what the team can do. GG
Thanks for giving it a try! I'd like to update it in the future with the mechanics I couldnt add in time for the jam!
I appreciate that you liked the sound effects, since I made those myself using the jfxr website. For the music I downloaded one with public domain from OpenGameArt.
addictive and entertaining game!
Im happy that you liked this rushed thing called a "game"!
Ah, old-school vibes, love the aesthetics
Heey thanks a lot! I really like making games pixel-esque. However Im sorry for making such a rushed game, I didnt managed my time correctly ;-;
I got to the wave where it spawned over 260 enemies and there was no way to dodge them and the game lagged sooo bad. Bomb is op btw
Yeah, I managed my time for the jam really bad and did like 70% of it on last day, so theres little to no optimization, and bugs, and incomplete stuff. Im sorry for the current state of the game, but thank you for trying it ♥️
