Not bad, but the camera and mini-map could use some work since they can be quite disorienting. Seems like a good game for time-wasting though. Good job!

I liked your artwork. I liked the idea. Audio was good. Dodging the missiles was fun.

I ran into a couple of bugs. One where my beam left my ship, but hung around on the stage. Another where I saw a bunch of ships. (Same as Leafenzo saw)

If you fix the bugs it'll be fun. (-1 overall for gamestopper bugs. I'll play it again after the jam if you update it.)

The game is cool, but I can't play it more than 5 minutes, it gets boring. I like random system generation!

I think you should simplify gameplay a bit so people could actually do more stuff wtihout getting killed by a planet, which is hilarious.

Be sure to rate my game and leave some feedback too :) https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprodgamejam2/rate/37927

This is a pretty dang good job for a first game :) You might want to lerp the camera zoom so it doesn't come to a stop immediately/start up so quickly. Also, maybe make it more clear to the player that there is a missile coming. A halo/glowing effect, or ever just some time to react. Because the first time you see it, you don't know to avoid it. Otherwise, good job, it was enjoyable

The mini map is not always accurate, but I'm certainly glad it was there. The zooming out based off of how fast you move is neat, but that was sometimes a little sudden.

 After you know to watch out for the missiles you can generally always dodge them, so they didn't often score cheap hits, which is really nice. 

The sound effects were fine, although the mixing could be a bit loud at times.

I did end up eating all the planets in the first system which I thought was good enough to be the entire game, but then it went to a loading screen for the next system, even said it was randomly generating it? Which is pretty impressive. 

But either way the second It loaded some pretty awesome glitches happened, it created about 50 of the player ships and then planets filled the screen along the edges. It was still playable for a little while although it was running a little slowly, it did crash after I tried harvesting the whole system with my fleet. Since the glitches happened after I had a full game to play it was honestly a pretty fun experience to mess around with.

Here's a screenshot. (By the way anyone reading this realize that this glitch happens after the main game and is not an example of the whole game whatsoever.)

Good entry for your first game jam,

I like the music,

Sometimes I felt frustrated that I destroyed some planets and from nowhere a super fast bullet hit me and I died, kinda help less,

but besides that it was a nice entry, good job!

The idea is really great and I like how the camera moves away when you go faster. The music is cool and graphics are great. I wish I wouldn't be dying so much tho :)

Hey, for your first game this look pretty good! And its an interesting idea, too zoom out when moving faster. After I cleared the first Level the game tried to generate a new one and crushed. you might want to look at this.

Keep up the good work and your games will become better and better! :)

The concept was there inline with the theme but the lack of time to make it really took a hard toll. The minimap was a bit buggy it was moving at a weird origin point cuz when i rotate my ship it rotates but on a different origin. Wished you had more time to make it. Nonetheless well done submitting it. :)
