Fun game, love the way it looks and plays. I feel like the player's hitbox could be shrunk a little, but great job overall!

Very cool!!/

Ok this was Awesome! love the story and the vibe of the whole project, very well designed bosses and a unique gameplay that fits perfectly with the jam. Congratulation for this fantastic project!

Submitted

I liked it, it's a lot of fun and the art is a very strong point of the game. As a recommendation I would like it to not have so much introduction or I could skip it or pass it faster. But the rest of the game is very cool. Congrats ❤🌻

Submitted

I like the visuals in the game, the Metal Gear like conversation fits really well here, the designs are awesome, I like the bullet patterns and the mechanics play smoothly, really well made. I rate graphics, fun, control on top but all is great, very profesional, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game, thanks!!!

This is a really good game!

the 90s manga/anime atmosphere is nice, even with the fat character with the mustache and the hat pulled down over his eyes. 

music and sfx at high levels, beautiful VFX. The retro-pixel graphics are beautiful in all their parts, although I would have preferred a greater homogeneity of pixels in the dialogue scenes between the central portion and the side portraits. nice font!

difficult but well-calibrated playability (a little more speed in the WASD movement of the spacecraft would have made my life easier).

you could make a larger version, perhaps putting side-scrolling parts outside the ship

Loved the game's logo! The interface made for the dialogues is pretty good. Awesome job!

Submitted

The art was incredible, especially in the dialogue scenes. The game is hard to beat, but not impossible (or maybe I'm bad playing).

Submitted

I was bopping my head the whole time, the music is absolutely fantastic, especially in the opening. The controls are simple but being slow and having to use the dash/spin mechanic to move around and attack feels great. I really like this game, great job!

Submitted

That’s insane!

Beautiful art, good sounds, I really liked it, very fun and responsive
So if you can, consider checking out my little game too 👉 👈

The game is amazing. The art, music, sfx and I love the simple combat. Would've loved to skip the cutscenes tho. Also I think my game crashed when I clicked on reload. I was using safari as the game wouldn't load on firefox. Anyway great job.

Submitted

Amazing! The characters are engaging and the cutscenes are interesting. I want to play the complete version.

Submitted

Good music and story and the only thing that I would wish for this one to be able to move character faster around the enemy.

My team member recommended I check this one out and he was absolutely right. This game is amazing! I love how simple it is too. Just point and click, and move around. But it's crazy to me how well you guys were able to make such a simple mechanic so interesting. I could replay this game multiple times and still enjoy it.

The soundtrack was perfect too. The epic guitar and electronic synths perfectly fit the vibe of this game's aesthetic as well. I also loved the boss design.

The only criticisms I have are:
-Button to reveal full dialogue for people who want to read through quicker, but not skip it entirely.
-Spamming the attack on the boss at the end and face-tanking made the final boss fight end before they even had a chance to start attacking me between their phases. I'd spam hit them right when they opened their mouth and they'd change phases again before even having a chance to do some real damage to me.
-Also I love the fast pace of this game, but for some reason there's a several second wait for the pre-fight dialogue to appear on the blank computer-looking screens. Which really doesn't sound like much, but having that fast loading time would've made a big difference. At least for me personally.

Again, fantastic game! Easily one of my favs this jam.

Great entry! The game is very polished, and has a great take on the theme. Love the music and art--you've captured a vibe perfectly, and I love it. I'm not a big fan of action games, but I really enjoyed playing this.

Some quick feedback--movement feels very sluggish, and it doesn't mesh well with the fast-paced music. It wouldn't need a huge change--just a little more speed and responsiveness, and it would feel like a much higher-energy game.

Being able to speed up dialogue would be nice. I ended up skipping the cut scenes because they were taking too long to display, and the unskippable dialogue at the beginning of fights made retrying them a little tedious.

On the second boss, the crosshairs should stop moving once the boss has locked in on its target--it's too hard to tell if you're out of the danger zone.

Overall, though, this is a fantastic game, and all the more impressive for being made in a month. Amazing work!
