Pretty fun game, the ship controls took some getting used to but the gameplay was great!

Great work, I like the scanner feature. I think the ship movement could be a little tighter to control, but you've got a good concept here.

Dream ScapeWow great work, love the arcade music, love the powerful rush of obliterating a whole wave of enemies, even if most of them are phantoms. I was really enjoying that. Just a small note - there started to be huge lag around wave 11 or 12, just for the initial few seconds of spawning. I suspect this could be solved by using object pooling for your enemies? (Let me know if you'd like me to cover it in a devlog but there are plenty of tutorials out there that cover it). But overall, very fun game!

Dream InvadersHey Sean! Thanks for the feedback! We actually were using object pooling to save on resources. I think the main cause of the slowdown was we were activating and transforming too many enemies on a single frame. The game could probably have run smoother if we staggered the spawning across a few seconds. Unfortunately we were tweaking the game up until the last few minutes of the jam so we didn't have time to iron out all of the kinks.
UI is great, music is pleasing, gameplay is fun, but not so sure about theme

Map-SwitcherThanks! Yeah we were pushing the rendering capabilities of WebGL a bit. We increased the max number of ships prior to releasing the game in the hopes that things would hold up but we didn't have enough time to work out exactly where to cap the ship numbers along with the other effects that were happening on screen.
