Unique mechanics, hard game. Can even get past the candles :skull:
Extremely cool and satisfying mechanics, poor instructions, final boss made me lmao and desperately wish for focus mode.
Struggled a bit in the beginning to understand, but it was still fun, I really liked the art and the music!
Little confusing but cool :)
Great combination of audio and visuals, they fit relly well together.
I really liked the mechanic of using enemy shots to charge-up your gun. Very satisfying :)
The game was hard (or maybe I just didn't grasp how to use the controls properly, even after reading on the game page) but fun.
Good job
Im not sure I fully understood the mechanics of this one, but the game felt and looked really nice, good job!
I put up some controls and how the game works on the main page, I didn't realize that the jam would let players just download it straight off the rating page. If I did I would have put in a tutorial in game, sorry!

As I stopped playing like dashing ignored the damage from Biden's bullets and not only the damage from the core and the asteroids or whatever they are and the flowers for the only reason that I'm an idiot then I think I immediately managed to defeat him. Granted I already got quite close to the end and knew the full level at that point but it probably took me more time than it should have been.
The game is very fun. I really like the ambitious controls and mechanics with the need to manage the core and dash, they're overwhelming at very first then they get very natural as you play, like for example you get to apprehend the speed of the core following you depending on the distance between it and the ship, and the game is quite unique as a result. The game looks good especially the first level which looks more unique. I had read the game page but had forgotten that they were 2 levels so I was actually pleasantly surprised when the second level started. The length of each level is perfect, the enemy sequences and patterns are nice and fun to deal, the difficulty is right on point and it's satisfying to eventually beat the game.
It's a super cool entry, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
