Big fan of the artstyle! The ost is pretty good too. It's definately fun when you get the hang of it. Good job!

I really like the artstyle and soundtrack! The game's a little confusing at first, but fun nevertheless. I'm a huge fan of the cardboard cutout style - it looks amazing.

Just out of curiosity,  did you make the engine yourself? The file structure doesn't look like unreal or unity.

Really good game :) Graphics is the best part - especially the thing that all object are hanging on rope :D love that idea.

Btw, would recommend to flash the shield lighter / more intense than darker / less intense. When you flash shield on lower intensity, it feels like the shield is getting weaker. If you wanna tell player "there is shield, there is no point to attack at this object", it's better to flash that shield stronger, to let player know "this shield is really strong" :)

Nice game! I really like the graphics and gameplay, for me, the main menu UI was too big for my screen but passed that was a great and challenging experience. Great work!

Awesome entry! Loving the cardboard look of everything! When I looked at the game files, I saw loads of source like looking files and source models. Looking at the GitHub, I see the same thing. What engine is this made in? if you tell me this is a custom engine, then I would be extremely impressed! That in a week???

Having to control two things at the same time with both hands is weird but chaotic (kinda similar to my entry, you should definitely give it a shot if you didn't yet.) The game did not manage to fullscreen properly and also broke SteamVR on boot (which I use for my VTuber webcam on stream.)

Overall, awesome job!

Developer

Yes it was created in a custom engine. It was programmed in c++ and used the graphics library SFML for rendering. Sorry for the technical issues. Hope it didn't ruin the experience. I'll definitely give your entry a try :).

Wow, great idea! Super original game. Definitely fun to play! One comment, I found the boss easier than the waves :D I would expect the opposite.

By the way, great job really!

Developer

Yeah that's a very good point. The boss really is a pushover haha.

I don't know why, but I didn't have planet on screen.

I see screenshots and idea is cool, well done! :D

Hmmm interesting. Maybe not enough VRAM to load the sprite. That's an oversight on my part. Sorry if it ruined your experience.

No problem!
Will wait for fixed, also would be awesome if you check mine! :)

Submitted

Very creative. Your visuals remind me a lot of little big planets It's quite fun and the learning process is linear and pretty intuitive. The audio design complements your game well and really gives that feedback back to the player. I really enjoyed the boss fight with the UFO mothership in particular. Awesome job! Good luck :)
