This game was wonderful! The art was adorable, and I loved how fluid everything felt, both the menus and the game itself. It's honestly addicting and super polished for a jam game, everything from the movement to the enemy variety honestly feels great to play. :)

You have managed to create a very cool identity! I really liked the theme, the screen transitions, and the care in juicy even in the interface. Congratulations on the submission. As a fan of game feel elements, I LOVE it!

This is so incredibly well polished, I can see right through it!

The only criticism I'd have of this is that the lazer feels a little bit weak... But that is literally the only un positive  thing about this!

A TON of charm and polish. Great work.

Some of the bullets are pretty hard to see but the game is quite forgiving thankfully. Also the music is so calming for a fast paced game, the sus4 made dying feel like I was being awarded :D

Very classic shoot'em up kind of game with a lot of content! Great execution as well, it looks very polished! Good job!

Really fun with some good controls.

I like also how approchable the difficulty feels, the fact that you don't just instant die but loose hp and get just powered down a bit on hit allows to be able to eventually get back up and get going with the pickups.

I like the artstyle, a nice mix of colorful retro sprites with road rage XD the music is pretty good too, though the main level music is a bit on the discrete side considering the pure mayhem of bullets on screen.

Speaking of discrete my only gripe (but more of a nitpick honestly) is that the pickups tend to be a bit hard to see among all the rest, even if this is partly eliviated by the fact that you auto attract them towards the player kart.

Not much issues otherwise, it seems really polished already.

Well done :)

Positives

  •  This game feels more polished and complete than than a jam game! 
  • Approachability and player-friendliness was definitely top-notch with the simple commands and the very readable controls right in the title screen. 
  • Art is top-notch, and the screen transitions are a huge part of what makes it feel like more than a jam game.


Negatives

  • SFX were a bit on the loud side at times, and a bit too shrill in places. Filtering out the highest frequencies would go a long way, and wouldn't necessarily "damage" the 8-bit aesthetic since old systems had lower sample rates (thus a lower high frequency limit).
  • I can't really see the relationship to the "Confined" theme here. One of the gameplay gifs does show what looks like a jail car, yet I didn't come across that one in my playthrough (maybe because I suck, but alas :P). Didn't give it a 0 or 1 because that's my fault for sucking, but I gave it a 2 because I feel like the jam theme could've made clear from the start, or at least early on in the game.

A nice game with good controls! I didn't find myself using the slow down key that much, though. The main game art is beautiful, and theme works. UI audio was a bit too loud, but otherwise audio worked really well. I did enjoy the bullet patterns, but with that one fast enemy (who goes "yeeeeee!") leaving behind trails of bullets, the second trail was a bit unnoticeable for me, took a couple of hits from that before I realised what made the damage. Overall, an enjoyable experience!

We'd greatly appreciate if you checked out our submission! :)
