Very nice shooter, love the graphics and effects. Maybe I played it wrong, but I'd like to shoot in other direction than I am heading. Because I am always runing away from enemies and have to constantly turn back to shoot them. Or, when you are too strong, you don't have to move at all :-) Overall very nice shooter, would like to play it again if you intend to work on it later :-)

incredibly fun, however would love to see somewhere info about buffs from satellites and their maxim capacity. The hardest thing were ships that spawns in player ship, but looks like in corners no spawn point at all, so if stand there it starts to be boring.

Developer

Thank you for playing, in the game description there are some pictures with each satellite and his buffs!

Very nice game! Super fun and very polished with the effects!

Submitted

Nice game. But It is too easy.

Submitted

Very fun game, it's a true firework show! Maybe we need better controls for aiming, but the fact you added slowmo definitely helps

Submitted

Nice neon light design you have there! I feel that it should have some health? not just die within one hit

Man your game is one of the most fun I played in the jam! And I am a glow effect lover! I love how you made the spaceships glow, it's fantastic.
The only downside is that you need to balance the gameplay, once you take the satellites the game is too easy! But really such a fun game!
Mine and your game have something in common for the glow and bloom, if you like that effect you should give it a try :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928013

Thank you for the review, since it's a gamejam I wanted the game to be less difficult.

Submitted

It feels polished overall! One thing I noticed is that one good way to stay alive is to stay still and wait for the enemies to come. I wish there was something to stop me from doing it. Apart from that is a really good game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I am aware of that.

Submitted

I like your game its fun to play :)

The art style for this game is absolutely amazing. The gameplay loop is quite fun and feels pretty polished. I do agree that some obstacles to encourage more movement would be pretty good in this game. But other than that the game is great. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I am glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Very fun and the art style works perfectly.  The audio is pleasing and the movement feels great.  Maybe some more enemy types to encourage more movement but other than that a very polished and aesthetically pleasing looking and sounding game

Thank you for your feedback, you are right I've tried to add some asteroids to make the player move around more but it did't quite work. I will figure something out.

As others have said, I loved the art style! Great job on this addictive game! :)

Shootemup mechanics are as polished and juicy as they should be - many particles, bullet upgrades and different kinds of enemies to destroy. It would be a great online multiplayer game (something like agario). The music is really good and fits in this game perfectly. I don't actually know what I didnt like about this game, maybe that its too addictive :) Don't forget to check out my game too. My score:

Developer

Good job! Thank you for your feedback!

Really fun! I played a couple rounds and added this to my collection, since this is exactly the type of game I can see myself play a round of now and again.

The movement is tight and the gameplay is (after reading the instructions) simple to understand. It feels great to amass a small army of satellites and basically be a god later into the game.

Where the game blows it out of the water are the graphics. I always loved this kind of aesthetic, kinda reminds me of Geometry Wars or Pacman Championship Edition. I also really like the banger you chose as a song.

Honestly really fun. I'll play this again.

Edit: It's a shame this got only so few votings. Sometimes really enjoyable games go under the radar. I really hope this beats the 20.

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it!

Cool game, movement feels pretty tight and I really liked the graphics and sound. However, it suffers from satellites becoming easily ignorable after a certain amount of time and your being able to just stand in place and hold left click.

Developer

Oh, thank you for the review, I found it very hard to balance the difficulty curve acording to your power ups.

Submitted

It is quite fun to fly around and get as many powerups and then to destroy all those ships. It has nice neon style graphics , simple but cool. One thing: at the start I didn't really know what to do, since I didn't read the description, but that was just my problem. Overall a pretty good game!

Developer
