Neat prototype and cool take on the theme! I found the limitation of the shoot direction hard to hit flying enemies and the small jump didnt help. With a smoother jump and directional shooting this could be a great endless arcade style game

ok so the game it self is good and fun to play but the moment two enemies are like in a line the knock back is so weak making them harder to push off, also for some reason i can interact with the health bar of the player by dragging it with the mouse, no worries just go to unity at the sliders and uncheck the interactable box, apart form that his felt like a very addicting arcade game, it get so much interesting when the drones are coming. Really nice!

oh god forgot about the interactable sliders. My bad xD. but yes, the knockback does get progressively weaker the more enemies are stacked up. this is so the player is forced to find different angles to move past the enemies and knock them off more efficiently!! glad you enjoyed!!!

This is a really fun little game! I like the way the gameplay mechanics force you to prioritize the red-core enemies over the blue ones. The music also fit perfectly with the visuals.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest adding shadows to show where the red-code guys are going to land, I got crushed and he just kind of bounced off my head. Make an enemy landing on you an instant kill and that would make it super intense. I also suggest adding a way to shoot upwards, a number of times the blue core ones would be to high for me to hit. Lastly, when the ship is loosing altitude or gaining it, you should have the clouds in the background move up and down to reflect that change. 

Overall great game, with a few small changes, I think this could be amazing!

Check out my game if you get a chance!

Really cool game, the retro feel was spot on! Really enjoyed the art and it fit the theme well. The only thing I'd recommend is having the player shoot in the direction of my mouse clicks without needing the turn my body. It wasn't too much of an obstacle though, I beat the boss first try! Overall, very fun little game. Good work!

It's really fun! It's kinda like smash bros in that you have to knock the enemies off the stage.

Nice idea , the game is nice.. I think you should make it a little more difficult.. also the wave started before I killed all the enemies. At the end I killed the big boss and the game finished also with other enemies still alive. (on the picture you can see that there are some enemies).

Good Job.

Was hoping noone would notice....must be because i forgot to tag the flying robots as enemies so the game doesn't check if they are all dead before spawning the next wave lmao. Thank you for the feedback!!

+ Liked the art style
+ Pretty fun to play

- If the mouse is only for firing, it would be better without it and bind the fire to the keyboard. Alternatively make the gun face the mouse so the player can shoot on an angle

Yes I was thinking about binding the shoot to the keyboard, in an update it is a strong possibility.

Did you check your browser volume? There seem to have been noone else with this issue so it would be great if you could check volume settings and try again!! we worked really hard on the sound and it really adds to the game!!

Satisfying controls! Love the retro style and the simple gameplay. I can see it being polished to a more complete game with vertical aiming.

The controls are very tight, and shooting enemies off the platform is very satisfying! "The lower your altitude the more robots there are" is a very clever way of tying the wave system to the theme ;)

The screenshake was a little bit too much, but I really enjoyed knocking those robots off my ship :)

Really cool idea! And the controls feel very tight ;) I was thinking the game was a little too easy, but the boss fight came and it was really close! Great entry, everything looks and feels very polished. Very polished experience!
