How does your game fit the theme?
I'd say for 4-6/10. There's "doors" between rooms which prevent player from knowing what's in the next one on a first entering, and on a higher difficulties it forces player to react to the changing environment quickly.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and visuals are mine, music is borrowed from wonderful creators with their permission and credited, all sfx and font are under a public licene.

Very polished and good looking game! The sounds were really nice and the controls great to use!
The only thing that I would change would be the difficulty of the game, as I found it really easy to get more lives than I lost making it hard to lose, so there is need some need for a bit of balancing.
All in all I reeeally liked it! Good Job!
This game was really fun but I only vaguely saw the theme in it but in every other category this game was amazing.

Unlocked EchoesThe movement and animations look very smooth and polished. The logo and art style are awesome! Great job!

Dread Behind DoorsThe dash forward mechanic feels really good, the art is clear and polished, the music was a great fit for the vibe. I'd suggest not tieing the camera directly to player movement as it got a bit disorienting when moving a lot. Solid entry - great work!

InterDOORmensionThe game is very soothing, but I see no real reference to the theme. I think the target scores were too big, it made the game become a chore, more than a fun experience for me. Still, very nicely put.

Doors, monsters and towersThis game is really cool, and amazingly well done for being a jam game. The polish is very noticeable. I love the art too, it is very clean. The camera was a little bit hard to get used to; I think it would have been better with the pivot closer to the ship's center, but that is a minor complaint. It could use some more balance too but being a game jam that is totally expected. Really great job, well done.

Macabre ManorThanks for a review so detailed!
Yeah, setting up a camera was always difficult to me for some reason, in the main project I now work on it took like 4 iterations or so, so that's a thing. I'll probably simply add a slider for camera position adjustment to the settings menu) Also balancing issues is of course a thing, as you said - due to the time lack, so I'll definitely adress it later.
Great game! Felt pretty fun and clean to go through, but the higher difficulties felt a bit too out of reach. Sent this to a friend of mine, and he's been racking through it though haha!

What's your choiceGood concept and great execution. The game looks very nice and your music choice fits it really well. The score is dropping too fast though. (I guess it's based on how many rooms entered and some percentage of the current score?) It takes a lot of grinding to unlock the normal difficulty, which is a shame because it's really fun to play as things are a lot more intense there.
Thanks for your feedback!
Regarding the score drop: did you speed up to 100 at the beginning of the Easy difficulty? I definitely could've done this part of a tutorial more readable, and some players keep flying at 50, while the score is dropping based on ratio of your current and max speed. That's also a bit too harsh though, so plan to change it to be based on ratio between current speed and 100m/s.
Be sure to check music creators if you liked it)
I loved it! The amount of polish you where able to give it in one week was crazy! I also think that it fit the theme quite well on the contrary to your description, I was always wondering what would be behind the next door! Would love to see this or something similar as a mobile game!
