In what way does your game fit the theme?
The enemies become stronger when they fusion together and your encouraged to let them grow.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?

Really interesting, lots of things going on under the surface. Liked the micro-managing of three things at once amidst the bullet hell gameplay, adds a lot of depth.
The keyboard scheme (Q + E, and A + D) make it harder to control both the shield and the larger circle / base at once, e.g., to move the same direction -- this makes the game difficult, as I can't really position my fingers to control both the shield and base at once which I think would make the micro-managing mechanic even more interesting. I don't know if that was intentional.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for playing, A and D was a extra feature for enemy attacks we didn't implement, it didn't cross my mind somebody would think you have to use o:
I guess I found an easter egg haha
Great game, the gameplay is difficult but really fun
Thanks for playing !
Really interesting game! I had a lot of fun playing it.
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it
Could you rate my game if you get the chance?
Very interesting game! The concept is something I havent seen so far and quite enjoyable. The music fits as well as the rising difficulty of the game. Its hard to control at first, but gets easier the more you play. The game has so much potential!
Thank you! I do wish to developt it further
great game! the concept is really nice and original, most entries are about the player getting stronger, but you gave it a twist. the simple art and colors works really well since it helps you realize where the danger is. the music fits very nice and gives the sensation of being in the space.
and abt the gameplay, it's very difficult to move yourself, move the shield, and shoot at the same time hahaha but after a few tries you get used to it and it is very fun! the mechanic of waiting the enemies to gather more material is very interesting, and i always like when games have upgrade systems in it ;)
the only thing i have problems with is the balancing, the waves 1 and 2 are very enjoyable, since begins with only one enemy on screen, but from wave 3, not only there are more enemies, they shoot more bullets and there are too many asteroids, maybe you could introduce this things gradually, and it doesn't help that the shop is very expensive and the upgrades don't make much difference.
but overall this is a great game! it has so much potential ^_^ good job!

Imagine if we had implemented enemies that needed you to move horizontaly lol. We wanted to do the progression more elegantly but time went flying and we just put a few levels so that players could feel what the game was about.
Thanks for commenting!
I love the game! The concept is good, and I could play this for while to try and get better. The graphics are simple, and I like it, but try randomizing the asteroids' graphics to make it more special and less repetitive. The music is nice, and the sound effects add some flare. Overall, the game is great.
good game! it fitted the theme very well, i liked the idea and the graphics fits the kind of game you are making!
Great game but very difficult
Nice! The mechanics are simple, but actually using them can take some practice. The game is fun and juicy, good job!
A fun little game! Although either it's super hard or I just suck real bad at it! Great job
It's fun but little to hard
that game was so fun!
I like the fast pace nature of the game and having to manage all of the controls and the graphics and audio are great. One thing that I would prefer is sort of a more visible way of seeing the enemies get stronger try out my game if you want Rate Pieces by [Insert Username ere] for Brackeys Game Jam 2021.1 - itch.io
Thanks for playing ! yeah I feel the same, we didn't communicate that well the growth of the enemies
very fun to play and i think this idea could be explored more
We were thinking of adding many more enemies and attacks but time just wasnt enough for that sadly
the game is good! it's pretty fun! i just didn't understand how it's related with the "stronger together" theme. but the game itself is good! would love if you could try out my game too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929542
I'm glad you liked our game. The small enemies fuse with the big ones and they get stronger overall, that's the relation to the theme "Stronger together"
oh, got it. thank you!
I really like this game!! It has a good arcade feel to it. The graphics were nice and simple to get my head around. Good job
Thank you !!
This was really fun!! My partner and I ended up playing this together as a kind of co-op, haha. He controlled the shield while I handled the gun. Because of that, it had a real Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime feel, hahaha. I don't know if that was the intention but it was super fun to play that way :D Also, the controls feel really nice and smooth, graphics are easy to read at a glance, and it feels great to explode all those alien ships at once. Great game!!
That seems like a really fun way of playing the game, glad you liked it
Really nice game, it was a bit confusing at first, but great overall, I really enjoyed it, and the upgrades were a great idea that keep you engaged. Amazing game
Thanks!! I'm seeing this sentiment a lot, we had a feeling is was gonna be hard to understand at first.
Nice music and minimalistic art, it did get difficult very fast but I liked the fast paced gameplay.
Thank you for playing ! we wished we had the time to make a proper progression.
The visuals and the music is really good. The gameplay is overall fun, but it's gets really difficult very fast and I was sadly never able to buy anything. But overall is this a good and prettily well made jam game. Well done.
Thank you for playing!, yeah we kind of made it get imposibly difficult towards the end since we didn't have time to make proper levels, remember the more enemies you gather in screen the more money you get !
