In what way does your game fit the theme?
My game is based on crypto as well as being kinda PCG (random) for gameplay. Cryptocurrency is very volatile. I think it fits the "Let there be chaos" theme.
CONTROLS: WASD movement -- LMB fires blaster --- RMB --- fires missiles
Your health is also your ammo.
Crypto that moves in formation and fires at you are enemies.
Crypto floating on their own (that don't shoot) + cryptonauts are pickups -- do not shoot but collect.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
There are some utility classes like a pooling system that I didn't write. The audio for the most part I did not create, however, I have the legal right to use these along with any code. The art is created by me, however, in some cases I have utilised references -- you won't find the final art anywhere else other than in my game.

Amazing game, extremely polished. I like use of cryptocurrencies a lot, very original concept. One thing you should add is in-game tutorial, not everyone reads game description on itch. Great job, well done, keep it up! :)
Yeah, definitely will be adding some kind of how-to-play for the next update.
That was an awesome polished game and the theme perfectly got fit. Gret idea buddy.
You Can Try Our Game . And Rate it .Thank You
Thanks for playing and rating!
This looks so good! I'm a fan of crypto so this was tons of fun :D I loved shooting them and seeing the Number Go Up, the game was super well done. I love the feedback when we shoot, especially with all the explosions. You really hit the chaos theme on its head. I'd appreciate it if you dropped a rating on our game if you have the time to play it as well!
Thanks for playing and rating!
Yeah, I think perhaps the theme is lost on most people as they have limited knowledge of crypto. Glad to see that those in the know about crypto can see the appeal of it and how it works with the chaos theme.
A nice and polished game! I think the missiles should be more forgiving as they often exploded behind the enemy crypto formation, killing only one or so. It feels very good to get a bunch of binances and become a machine shotgun. Game juice levels are high. Good job!
Thanks for the praise and feedback! Yeah the missiles probably need some more work, as you really need to get the timing right. They do explode on impact with the ships -- and meteorites, which will blow them up -- but these things only happen with a direct hit. I might play around with making this more generous, by requiring the player be less precise with it in effect.
Cool take on the theme! art is gorgeous! Love it
Thanks for the kind words!
Very fun and juicy. I don't think it matches the theme too much, but still was very fun.
Maybe add some sound to let the player know that collected the right coin.
Thanks for playing and rating!
There's sounds for everything already. If you mean when you get more money, like from killing an enemy, I'm considering adding a sound for that.
Really cool game! The visuals were really good and the audio provided a lot of feedback. The aiming system was very difficult. I think increasing the size of player projectiles would be better.
Thanks for playing and rating! Yeah definitely the top issue is aiming, so I'll be trying some things to help with that.
Nice polish and graphics! It was a little hard to aim, maybe if the reticule was smaller it would be easier? I liked the premise of the game in general and especially the extra lives audio and the health as ammo.
Thanks for playing, rating and for the feedback!
Great concept it wasn't that chaotic but still liked the game in general overall especially with the graphics
You didn't play for long enough. Thanks for playing and rating!
Good luck :D
Thanks!
Good Innovation and ArtStyle.
Thanks for the feedback!
Very unique game
Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to play and rate my game.
Amazing job with sound and visuals! The game has a very distinct feel and aesthetic.
I found it rather hard to aim at the enemies effectively
Yeah the enemies move about to make it hard, but I gather from other posts it's more the way the projectiles you fire move, as they are off center. This improves once you have 3 firemode pickups, as you are firing from 4 points -- 2 lower, 2 upper -- around the center of your aim-point. I'll look into seeing what I can do about improving that...
The visuals and the sound are great! The gameplay is fun too, but I found it a bit hard to aim. Even though that is the case I still enjoyed shooting at the cryptos. Great work!
Thanks!
This game looks stunning and controls quite nicely! Also Human farm has my attention ;) Great work on the game!
pretty fun game, i love the graphic design, nice job!!
Thanks!
looks and sound absolutely amazing, however it is hard to aim at times
Yeah the blasters are offset from the centre. When you get 3 fire-mode powerups, you actual fire from four points instead of just 2. So it balances out.
Incredible jam game. Looks great and sounds awesome with so many nice touches (multi-colored stars, stereo audio for the weapons). That BJI rainbow apparently stands for quality.
Not financial advice
Thanis, appreciate the kind words about the demo.
This game really needs a controls page and/or tutorial. At first I thought I was just drifting through space and needed to just avoid stuff. Then I realized you can shoot but it took me some additional time to realize I was shooting my score. Took me some more time to realize I could bomb. Never figured out what the bottom left hand corner gold thing is, I tried to hit every key to trigger it and figure it out but nothing seemed to happen with it. Once I did eventually get the hang of it, it was pretty fun. The perspective makes for really great visuals and the sound/music matches the game well. My best was $193,400
Yeah, kinda wish the jam page wouldn't allow you to directly download but took you to the actual page instead... Still, I think it's not that hard to figure out.
Game looks cool! But I think the goal should have been made a little clearer, but still it is fun. No clue if it is good or not, but my best(?) score was 21,900.
