This is fun, the art style works for me too, you just need a little more variations, I don't mind if the screen gets a little hectic and the flow of the game sped up a bit, just as long as it's balanced. Regardless, nice job man!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You are stranded on a foreign dangerous planet and your whole fleet has been obducted. Survive as long as you can and free your teammembers from the enemies.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything except the font was done by myself.

Hey, thanks for playing but the little spaceships that you collect function as a health bar. When you get hit one of them get's destroyed, are there none left you're supposed to day. That was my take on "stronger together", in the way that you don't day, but others die for you as long as there are others.
The game was good.... I tried playing without taking damage and yeahh it was challenging and frustrating sometimes..
Me saying these words means this game serves the purpose and one suggestion would be if the player would be a bit faster I would really appreciate it
Anyways, Great work!!!!

Nuzz The UsurperThis concept can be really expended upon, I like this.
For me tho, the game currently is too slow, and not really challenging. I think you should speed up things by both increasing the speed of the space ship, and adding more enemy types. I do know that you didn't have much time, but I'm telling that for the future update if you ever plan on doing one.
The shooting sfx was a bit too loud, which caused me to not listen to the music the way I wanted to, but I liked the music.
In terms of the concept. I think you should add the ability to also crash into things with your small ships. This way you do get stronger when you get them, but also it's harder to dodge things.
This balance is something which can really boost up the enjoyment of the game, and it's replayability.
Would love to see this game's progress in the future.
Well done!

Stronger To GatherIt was so fun to play around with those tiny aircraft. I tried to fill the whole screen with them. And I didn't realize there's no END in game lol

Ghostly DeliveryReally loved the art in this game. The background and music created a relaxing atmosphere that hooked me. Strange considering this game was meant to be hard but somehow it worked. Nice job.

Missed CallI agree with others: It can be enjoyed despite being in god mode. Thanks!

My Little LightLoved it, at first it was a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, is really entertaining, the only issue that i have is that the bomb are sometimes hard to see due to the background, but other than that, a great game.

Awaking ColorsGot till about a 100 points before I quit. Nice how you did it in such a short timeframe. Good job!

Caterpillar CompleteIt was pretty fun, even in god mode. For something you made in a day and half, it is quite impressive.

Torn Apart - A Love StoryCool game! I like the sound track and the sfx, but I really like the soundtrack! Really impressed if you did that yourself. Sounds great. Also, I really like the snakey enemy. That's a really tough movement pattern to account for, especially in the beginning when you shoot so slowly. Shame you only had a little bit to work on it. I think it could really be special with some more time. Well done!

ComfortApart from the invincibility i can see this being fun and challenging.

Ghost InvadersCool idea and nice enemy designs. I like the power-ups that make you move and shoot faster, though to be honest I think it'd be better to start off much faster. I quite enjoyed god mode, haha, you should leave that in as an option when you do make your final build :D Would love to see more enemy designs if you do ever come back to this!
