I loved the art style, the animations, the particles, and the sound effects. The visuals all fit together endlessly. The floating asteroids and debris in the background was also a nice touch. I would say there are 2 thinks that I think could improve the game.

  • The camera can be a bit jarring at times. I think the camera is programmed to make sure all of the enemies are in frame. This has the unfortunate side effect of zooming in on the player when no enemies are around and then suddenly zooming all the way out when enemies spawn in. Additionally i feel a little stressed out when the camera zooms in on the player since it prevents me from spotting any enemies in the distance (even though by the camera's logic no enemies have spawned yet)
  • I feel that the player should be able to slow down instead of move at a constant speed.  This would add a bit more strategy to the movement and also make it a little less awkward using the arrow keys. I have the habit of pressing and holding a key to move in a certain direction even though if i release the key i will continue travelling in the same direction. 

Aside from those points I feel that you have made an excellent game! Nice Work!

A very fun game! I loved the graphics, and it has a very good gamefeel, it feels great to play it. Congratulations!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

The technical part is mad, i loved it. It was very fun to play, good luck! You can check my game too if you want!

Developer

Thanks! MoreMountains are great for helping out with the technical part. I certainly couldn't have done it all myself in a week.

The game is really cool! The models are very well designed! The UI design is by far the best I've seen in this jam. Awesome work, deserves 200 ratings!

I rated your game, it would be great if you could rate mine as well :)

Developer

So kind, thank you!

Submitted

The game is very nice, I like the visuals and the models looks really nice. The music is just awesome and SFX is very nice and it fits the game. Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :) it'd be a huge help

Developer

Thanks!

I like the setting of being in a dream and riding a bed cool game

Developer

Thanks! If you have time, do check out my  YouTube Channel if you follow developers on YouTube. It's nothing much yet, but the best way to learn what content is good is to have people watching who can tell me what they like! :)

Playing this game is fun! I think it would have been better with health and score or something but that is not that important... I really like your game!

Developer

Thanks, yeah I could have made the health bar more visible, and perhaps given some game juice on a death or something to make the score more obvious. Glad you had fun!

Submitted

I love the Idea! Really Unique! the movement felt nice however turning sort of limited the dodging of enemies. Overall Awesome Entry!

Developer

Cheers! Yes, I suppose with the movement it's kind of a trade-off, but thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Amazing concept! Cool art :)

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Wow, the concept is amazing and creative! I love the flying bed, amazing work!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

Developer

Thanks, and certainly - I will do :)

Submitted

This was a ton of fun.  A great concept and good take on the theme.  Great Job!

Developer

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I loved the idea and really felt like I was in a dream playing this. Very good graphics! Well done!

Developer

Thank you. So lovely to hear :)

Submitted

Such a fun game! Super cool. The atmosphere was great and so were the effects and audio!

Would love if you can rate my game! :D

Developer

Thank you, and certainly - I'd be delighted to give your game a whirl :)

This is fucking hilarious. I am in love with how random everything is, yet still blends together beautifully. If this were on an arcade machine, it would be one of the most popular games in my opinion. I was playing with trackpad so it was quite hard for me, but I still enjoyed it.

Developer(+1)

Well done for playing on a track pad! That's an interesting limitation for me to consider. And just thank you for this comment. It made my day.

Submitted

This was pretty fun to play! Good job! :) I liked the music a lot!

Developer

Cheers! The music is by Kevin McLeod - a classic indie music resource, I had used his stuff before.

Submitted

Fun, and polished. I like the way you tilt into movement.


Some screenshake would have turned it up to 11 though.

Developer

Thanks for the comments! I agree - ran out time for the screen shake, but a good idea!

Submitted

It was fairly laggy on my end to play. Not sure if that is just a local issue for myself or not. Otherwise, very interesting idea!

Developer

Sorry to hear that it was laggy, but thanks for playing and commenting! If you'd like to give me the specs of the machine you played it on, I can keep that in mind for future games.
