How does your game fit the theme?
You're diving deep into the core of a gas giant planet
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

A simple yet enjoyable game that combines resource management with combat. Fast decision-making is essential for survival. While the theme of "diving deeper" could be more integrated, it offers a fun and challenging experience.
Nice game, simple but fun! I like the resource-management combined with the combat. You have to make fast decisions to stay alive. One nitpick is that it you're not really "diving deeper", although you are falling. There is no incentive to go down and the game doesn't progress by going deeper.
Had a plenty fun playing it!! almost reached zero :o
I felt that the float control was a little uncomfortable to use.
Good work!!
Did the float change feel too sudden for the descent? For the next update, I was thinking maybe something that slows your descent without having to go up.
Yehh it was quite abrupt. Can't wait to see the changes next update!
Nice game and concept. I do wish however than when you use the shield for it to knockback some of the enemies so that you don't get trapped, but still cool game!
Great idea! I'll implement a mechanic on the next update that includes knockback. :D
Great core, nice touch making first weapon a laser that incinirates most of things instantly, not some weak pistol.
Thanks! I really wanted to capture that feeling of being overwhelmed by the number of obstacles/monsters but still make it manageable and that seemed like the best approach. :D
Nice idea and concept. Simple controls)
nice concept. controls are a bit too tight. didn really have motivation to go deep, could stay upp and kill everything. great ambience and art
I agree! I'm thinking after ratings are over I want to go back and change the controls so down allows you to descend faster, using your shield prevents burning up, and the floating mechanic is tied to a separate key.
great work and nice art style very fun to play
At first I found it some what complicated, but once you understand the mecanics is really fun, reminded me to some old flash games, I think is nice that you added a lot of controls and bars, but it can be too much for some people, also I would like better to have a downward thrust instead of the floating but I loved the side dash, added some deep to the movement, great job!
Fun to play game, trippy background. The fire when you went to quick is a "Cool" machanic.
Voted! Good job =)
good solid first effort. needs something to give it a sense of "speed" when you're about to burn up (and then one quick burst with the thrusters stops all of your descent?). solid little game.

Really neat game concept! I love the way you have to balance your resources with your need to not die to enemies or burn damage. You're juggling so many things at once it makes for really interesting gameplay.
Great game! Cool art style for the background of the planet! I like how you can't go too fast or you'll burn up - it adds a realistic touch. Overall I didn't find the game challenging enough since the energy regenerated too fast and there was really no need for me to collect the barrels. Other than that, well done!
Really cool game! You did a well balanced game with all the resource management and what not, thats really hard to pull off in a game jam!
I loved the sounds. The gameplay was very tough, but I liked having different controls of a space ship.
Impressive! Really enjoyed it

Haha, the "Fission Mailed" at the end made me chuckle!
