Wow the animations were amazing!! I think like others said the invisible walls got a bit annoying and also I wished I could see what each powerup was before taking it since sometimes it felt like it was downgrading my gun. But yeah loved the sound design and definitely the ship animations and shooting!! Great work!!

First I thought the calm phase was supposed to be a tetris-like puzzle XD But then realized you can use those shapes as protection from the shrimp monsters. I like the idea of the flying ship, and the art and the music! And the landing animation is pretty cool! Great job!

Developer

Thank you for feedback! Tetris idea might be neat to implement, if only there was more time to think and to implement! 
As non-artist really like when people say what they like art and visuals. It was one of focuses for the project :)

I like the simple but appealing visual style and the storm phase feels really satisfying.
Maybe the calm phase could be expanded a bit though, right now there is not much strategy involved other than placing a few walls to distract some enemies.

Good job, I had fun with this!

Developer

Thank you for feedback! Yes, it seems there might be more of strategical and meta gaming here.

Overall ok game, however the boundries when landed not being visible killed me twice thinking I could go further out. Pretty annoying.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for feedback! Those invisible boundaries are indeed pretty annoying.

Great idea, but I think it needs some twist like some roguelike story progression/upgrades. I saw that you're aware of this, but still there are some bugs that feel like they can be features too and you just can't catch the rules due to them.

Overall, great job!

Developer

Thank you for feedback!
Story progression and upgrades definitely can work here but time limit said it won't be in the jam entry :)

Stylish graphics! The gameplay's pretty neat too.

You should add a fullscreen mode to the web version though because it's kinda hard to read the text without it

Developer(+1)

Thank you for feedback! Speaking of stylish graphics - you beat me on that :)

Please try out my game too and leave a honest rating, thank you.

Developer

Thanks for feedback! Played yours and definitely had some fun with it!

I like the detail of the landing animation. The effect of the flying ship is pretty cool also.

I just wish the guy had better aiming lol

Developer

This animation was the first what was created... From this animation the game was born...

very nice game! cool graphics, i liked it very much

Developer

Every time when someone saying what this game has cool graphics it makes me happy as I usually do not draw and not good at visuals :)

Submitted(+1)

Loved the graphics!

Developer

Thank you! As for a non-artist it's a big complement :)

Submitted(+1)

Wow! An interesting implementation of the preparation for the main gameplay by placing obstacles! I really liked it! Good game!

Developer

Thanks you for playing! Glad you liked the game and highlighted another great game for me. By your comment. I mean your game :)

Submitted(+1)

lol “whatever storm or calm means”, it’s the opposite :D very nice game, i so like top down shooters!

Developer

In my "internal" representation of the theme: the storm was "storm of enemies". So It's kinda calm before the storm... And yeah... Borders on the ground should be a sand storm which wasn't implemented... So it could be interpretetad as "calm storm before sand storm"... Anyway have what I have :)

The game was very fun to play. Great concept, the music fits the theme very well! The invisible walls were a bit frustrating tho 

Developer

I'm constantly reminded what the last thing I didn't have time to add was the most noticeble issue :)

Game was a bit loud having a setting for audio would have been amazing 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Need to make a preset for future games to include this for sure :) Glad you've one in your game!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun arcade game with creative gameplay! I liked the irony that the calm part is the one with the storm. 

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad you liked the irony :)

Submitted(+1)

The storm is the calm and the calm is the storm!! I definitely had a blast playing this one! Aside from the really loud audio, I found the entire experience very charming and creative! Great submission to the jam! 

Developer

Thank you. Need to create a module or something for future jams to include settings menu in future entries :)

Submitted(+1)

I had fun! The abilities were awesome!!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I've enjoyed your game a lot too!
