The exe worked for me. I really like the bosses, and the wide variety of attacks and patterns they have. I particularly enjoyed the two bosses in different arenas, and how you have to switch between them. If I may ask, do you get a random one each time you start, or are they connected to what stats you choose?
I like the wormhole mechanic, and it's fun trying out different options with the stat exchange.
At first, I found the controls strange (I don't play a lot of games like this, so I don't know what is considered standard), but I got used to them rather quickly.
Since there are only a few days left, I am rating and giving feedback to games with few ratings. I would appreciate it if you rated my game too. No need to leave a comment, unless you feel like it.
Thanks for the experience =]
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D. A lot of people found the controls a bit strange and I think the problem was because I played it so much developing it I got used to them and didn't realise how weird they were. I'll give your game a try right now!
Got 4/5 bosses, the art and sfx are nice, shooting feels a bit weird because you shoot in the direction your facing and most times I was facing back or sideways compared to the boss but maybe its intended, great UI aswell good job !
Same error code as mattpollack, cant get it to run.
Sorry about that, I made a mistake with my full screen code so that it doesn’t work on some monitors, I will update the game page with it patched once the jam is over but unfortunately I don’t think I can change the file during the jam.
I like the mechanic of placing a wormhole you can teleport to. The pixel art is awesome, and changing your stats is pretty cool. My biggest problem with the game however is the controls for the spaceship. It's kinda weird how you move in the direction you press with WASD, but there's a rotation delay. I think it would be much better if it controlled like a car where pressing a/d rotates you left/right, and w/s makes you fly forward/backward. That way you can move and aim easily while keeping the maneuverability stat relevant.
But overall, good entry!
nice game bro!
Glad you enjoyed it :D
The game works fine to me! For your 1st GameJam game this is AMAZINGG! Reallyyyy well-done, love the art design and overall atmosphere of the game. Good Job! :D
Same, can't get it to launch on win 10:

Really sorry about that, its the first game I've ever exported and I should definitely should have done some more testing on other devices. It seems the problem is that there is an error scaling to full screen on certain monitors.
Hey no problem! If you get a build running maybe after the jam I'll give feedback :)
The game would not start it would give me only an error message
That's odd, are you on windows?
Also if anyone else gets round to playing this I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether the exe work or not.
I was on a windows system.
