I really like your game. It was pretty fun! 

I just didn't understand if the point of the game was just surviving or shooting with each ship each enemy ship that matched its color. I didn't notice any difference, so I just ended up rotating and going in circles the whole time trying not to die. So it got a little bit boring for me.

This is my personal observation so I hope you don't take it personally. 

It is a great game and I hope it taught you some valuable lessons. Take care n.n

Really liked this one, controls feel good and the graphics are clear and easily readable. I especially love the music! Very solid game, would love to someday see new levels and enemies :D Great job!

I liked this! You're right controller is definitely better. It fit the theme well!

Nice game! Doesn't all fit in the screen though.

A really solid shmup! Cooldowns on the abilities feel a little too long and some enemy variety would really help replayability. But overall it's a good time! Not sure if this was actually the case but does shooting the enemies with the same color kill them faster? If so that's a fun way to incentivize rotating!

Cool idea and you put together well!
I like that you can lose the ships.

A lot of well thought design in this game, though not too well communicated to the player it is there.  In the health bar etc. which was nice to see.  It's an interesting concept though there wasn't too much to mix up the gameplay throughout since it was just endlessly spawning enemies.  Some sort of power up could help.  The ability to get ships back as well.  Along with maybe tweaking the difficulty to allow for some tweaking on the abilities and such.

Cause currently the abilities cooldown feels extremely long.  Which lead to me generally only be able to use them once per run, which essentially removed them from the game for a mass amount of the loop.  So tweaking difficulty to be easier/harder or maybe making the abilities cooldown shorter or make them stronger etc. could balance it out.  

Really cool game, gets a little stale after a while but there has been effort put into it here, it's just missing a little something extra to take it to that next level, good game for a jam though! Good job!

Difficulty is just right. A lot of mechanics that separate it from a standard top down shooter and makes the game really fun to play, and it fits the theme very well and creatively.

Love that you can use a controller dude cool game

I really liked your game! the graphics look very good and the music is also pretty catchy:)

Overall fun game, I liked how each ship had a different ability and that ability was lost with the ship. Every ship feels important and it fits very well with the theme.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest an in-game tutorial. I also suggest the ability to change the formation of the ships, I think that could add a lot more versatility and strategy to the game. 

Overall super fun!

Good job.

Glad to have controller support in this game, the sprites also feels nice.

Definitely the most innovative game in the Jam! Absolutely love it! The colors and rotation felt very intuitive as well.

I really like the concept and the mechanics of the game. I would love to see this game extended

well done! great idea!
The only gripe i had is that i think it would have been a better idea to let the player click on the powerups to use then instead of using the numbers.

Otherwise great idea and great execution!

Very clever design and nice execution. A little hard to play with the keyboard, but I bet it's great with a controller. 

Cool game! Got 800 as high score!

I really liked the idea of this game, it fits perfectly with the theme of this jam. The graphics and sound look quite poor, but the gameplay is incredibly unusual and interesting 4.5 / 5
