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.

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.
Absolutely stunning visual and music. The game need to be balanced and polished more but for 7 days game this is super enjoyable!
Also I would love to have your feedback and rating for my game, Chaos Variants!

Oh, I like wrote in some code last minute because I thought the later part wasn't hard enough. Did I make it too hard, or is it still too easy..? Any specifics on areas to polish?
Cheers!
I kinda have a hard time trying to understand what to do like should I evade it? or should it shoot it? I kinda confuse
the game should have story or clearly indicated purpose for example 'This game is about Johny getting suck into crypto investment world and get on some kinda crypto spaceship and making profit as much as possible by shooting profiting currency and evade down-at-heel currency' something like that would instantly give player how should they play the game and make your game really standing out from just a normal space shooting game with crypto currency sprite slap on it but the visual is super cool though you're on the right way.
Oh... Yeah there was one intended, along with an end goal for the demo, just ran out of time. Probably complete that along with adding a highscore table for the next update.
Cool game style and fun to play.
So I really liked the style and the idea, I was a bit confused though as to how how the damage on the hazards really was working. The audio is amazing --- presentation is amazing, really impressive!
Yeah, I probably should update the page to let people know what you can shoot, what are powerups, how the damage works. Especially as your health and ammo are one and the same: money. Powerups give you money too, but that depends upon how damaged they are, etc.
Cool style and idea, love it.
I enjoyed it, but in the future, you'll get far more people playing and rating if you can play in browser.
Yeah, have started to notice that pattern. But I also think I need to add some animated gif screenshots too.
