Insanely fun game, though quite challenging (my clumsy hands betrayed me!))) ). The visual style is super appealing and complemented the game perfectly! Excellent work!
The art is really nice, I loved the design! Aiming the asteroids is a bit hard though
I was terrible at this!! I'd love to see some dev gameplay to see what it looks like with a competent player at the helm :')
Very cool use of a two-button scheme for a fairly involved gameplay loop. Art in particular was really nice - that opening animation was really, really cool. I think maybe a little clearer visual feedback on the direction the asteroid was heading would make aiming a little easier, but maybe I'm just bad.
Well done - cool concept and execution for sure.
Thanks for the feedback!
The two button scheme was intentional because we realised the game is pretty hard as it is. As for the dev gameplay, we have also struggled with this so we decided to share the pain with everyone :)
I really like the mechanics and graphics in this one, it feels really nice, the sound FX are making a great effect, I rate Graphics Fun and music on top, but all is great, also if you have time, please rate my game too, thanks!!
Hey thanks for the feedback.
The art team I worked with were amazing, hats off to them.
Great visual and gameplay mechanics. Good job
Thanks for the feedback
Nice game ! At first, I found a little bit too tricky to throw in the good direction, but after few minutes it's become more and more easy. I really enjoyed the easy control (2 keys), as the game is already pretty hard. I regret a little that everything is not in pixel art tbh. But nothing really serious here.
GG for the submission !
Hey thanks for the feedback.
Yeah two button control was a great suggestion from the team, otherwise this game would have been too hard.
As for the art, we just didn't have enough time but maybe some day in the future.
Glad you had fun!
Great visual and I like the gameplay mechanics. Simple but fun.
Thanks for the feedback.
unique game that is easy to pick up but not easy to master. launching the bullets back at the boss is pretty satisfying...when it hits, that is (aiming is hard). sometimes i get hit by my own deflected bullets, i think you should make it so deflected bullets cannot hit player so you wont accidentally kill yourself
Hey thanks for the feedback.
Aiming is hard. We tried to make it easier but never got it perfect. As for the deflected bullets, it was intentional as almost everything has its own physics forces but will try to remove that too.
Glad you had fun with this :)
Great take on the theme! I like how simple the controls are, makes the game really easy to get into.
Hey thanks for the feedback. The controls idea was from a teammate and it completely changed how the game worked. Glad you tried it out.
This was a refreshingly unique take on the theme. The art and audio was great and worked well together. It was a challenging fight but satisfying when you were able to get the asteriods flying where you wanted them to. Great stuff!
Hey thanks for the feedback.
The team did wonders with the art, we were gobsmacked when they shared the sprites. It is a challenging fight and I still cannot go through the game without dying a bunch of times.
Glad you tried it out :)
Cool!!! avoid tentacles are not very difficult but calibratin "stamina" shield and angle of rebound it's tricky and make it funny!! a mobile versione it will be nice
Hey thanks for the feedback.
Yeah gravity shield (stamina) bar was a nice late addition to the game which worked really well.
For the mobile version: we shall see what kind of feedback we get by the end. But yeah a mobile game would work well too
Thanks for playing :)
The concept is really good, but this is super hard. I want to try it again later, since I'm currently stuck on the second boss. The visuals are amazing, the only thing that stood out to me, is that the rings/orbits look rather low quality compared to the rest of the top notch pixel art, but this game is overall super polished.
Hey thanks for the feedback.
Yeah this is super hard, I still haven't finished all three bosses myself but my teammates have. Glad you think the game is super polished cause it was one of the things we were worried about.
Glad you played our game :)
