Fun game! a bit hard to adjust the speed and direction. and maybe give the player 2 or 3 chance before reset the boss will be less punishing. Good game overall.

Wow awesome concept...at first it seemed pretty simple but i found myself getting addicted to giving it 1 more try. The low hit count for bosses makes them seem easy but 1 mess up and you gotta restart. Its hard but not in a 'screw this im out' kinda way. More hard in a 'i'll get him next time' kinda way. Very well done!

Thanks. Yeah, it can be a bit hard at first, but becomes easy when you get used to the mechanics. I'll check your game :)

Cool use of the theme! I found the sling shotting and returning very cool and the controls to do so were straightforward. One QOL suggestion is to maybe make the directional arrow when your sling shotting yourself change size in addition to color. It would make it a bit easier to judge how far you are going. Also I found the beginning tutorial area a little long, I'd prefer to get into the boss fights as fast as possible. Overall fun gameplay and challenging bosses!

Thanks! Yeah, could do that. Agree about a bit long tutorial, would be a bit troublesome to change it since I have one big level and need to shift both tiles and objects, but I will fix that after the jam.

This is very interesting take. I like the pull/push mechanic but I found it a little tricky to use. Can you elaborate what does the mouse actually to? Does it just spin the direction around? I found that just holding the mouse some times the arrow would stay pointing in the same directions sometimes it didn’t. Maybe its because you are hiding the mouse pointer? I made it to the boss but never managed to destroy more than 2 of its buttons before dying, maybe you could ramp up the difficulty little by little? Kudos on the great work nonetheless.

Thanks for the comment.

When you press left mouse click, then drag it and release, you push your character in the direction: from point, where mouse was released -> to position of your character. Direction is also shown by the arrow near your character. The further you release your mouse from the character, more velocity it will get, which is shown by arrow color. (green min velocity- red max velocity)

Though the thing I didn't intentionally hid the mouse pointer, you are supposed to play with it, otherwise it will be quite hard to get the right direction.

Could you please tell which browser do you use?

I just tried your game again. Now I was looking at the mouse pointer and looks like the ship goes in the opposite direction of the mouse pointer. That’s what confused me initially, all clear. I was able to clear the first boss now.

This is a really great concept with some awesome movement mechanics! Using the unique movement system to battering ram myself into the opponents was highly rewarding, and very nuanced. Great work!

The use of theme is very original, simple game but fun.

Thanks, I was wondering if it was too hard
