This is an excellent entry to the jam, the concept reminds me a lot of games like Learn to Fly. I think it is a well-polished game in all its sections and, above all, very fun.

Amazing, very cool implementation of the theme, coherent retro style and just right mix of skill vs luck. This type of game should definitely have scoreboard.
That was a fun game reminded me of the old mobile games :)
heres my score
This is superb! Polished well, everything looks great and sounds retro. Very good on the use of theme too. I enjoyed the game, this is good in mobile. Here is my score to feel good about myself:
Very well put together and all around a great experience. If you are looking to expand this I think another motivator besides just getting a high score would be cool!
I love these type of games. It was fun playing it, I played it several times, my best score was 282, is that good? I could play more if had more free time. Well done.
Both graphics and audio are great really.
Took me a while to get used to the controls.
Got me a coupled of tries to get around 600
Those birds are awful lmao
Top notch graphics! Really liked the music and sfx as well. Sometimes it wasn’t super clear when I could do a mid-air relaunch, like it let me pause time but wouldn’t let me click to launch. I also thought I’d be able to pop the balloon, but I guess the armor isn’t sharp enough hahaha. Overall great job!!
I think there could be a reverse ranking additional to the normal ranking so I would be a top scorer lmao lmao
lovely music and art! Took me a bit to learn the mechanics of the game, but at the end my high score was 1252!
I'm not too fond of A and S as keybinds for this game, since you have to use your mouse to launch the player. Maybe rework it to right click and spacebar or something?
Collectibles were incredibly generous, especially the blue ones. after I grabbed 2 or 3, I could abuse them to launch vertically and pull off a massive score. Maybe get punished for going too high?
I didn't really find a use for the rewind feature, since it made you still lose time. The mid-air launch was good tho and I abused the shit out of it :)
Great game overall, congrats on submitting!
One of my favourites so far. The mechanics are very enjoyable, good work !
Cool entry, bring back flash memories, no doubt. My only complain is it could be frustrating to have so many enemies and so few boosters, there are as many enemies flying randomization needs a little tuning, overall: graphics, sounds and fun make this a solid entry.
Really cool mechanics and idea! Fun to play! I liked the art and music is also really funky!
