Fun game! I love the music. Reminded me of being in a Final Fantasy VIII dungeon. I was aiming for the ! at first (and for a while lol) but I don't think that's the biggest issue because you very quickly learn that it generates enemies and that the enemies deal damage.

EDIT: After looking at the other comments, I didn't realize there was more than avoiding and that I could shoot too. Agree that the particles and death animation are really well done!

I like the juice in this game: particle effects, screen shake (maybe too much screen shake,) bullets and sound effects. Maybe a subtle time-stop/time-slowdown after killing enemies could make the game even juicier. Background music works well, and I’m glad we get a warming where the enemies spawn. The controls are a bit sensitive, making it difficult to move around

thanks for the great feedback

Nice game. I especially liked the effects and the feedback you get when you get hit or destroy an enemy. I also liked the indicators which give you a hint from where opponents come. Some inputs, where you could improve:

  • Maybe it was intended but the movement was too fast for my taste and it did not feel like I was moving a spaceship in space. In such a space game I would prefer a bit a slower movement and one which is not so reactive. Basically in space you do not stop moving, only when you apply force on the other side. I hope you know what I mean :).
  • I did not get what the special ability was... I had the feeling that when I apply it, I got more enemies...
  • Maybe a point system would be also cool, to have an additional goal than just surviving.

I still had fun to play it and congratulations to your game!

the special abilty does spawn enemies but it is the only way to get extra time,living for 90+ seconds is the only way to fight the boss

After the timer runs out, it just restart the game, I thought I losed. Nice game, anyway.

A nice, simple game that's been really polished. Would've liked to see maybe different types of enemies, an end screen or a scoring system.

Developer

Thanks,planned to add those features but didn't have time

Super cool game honestly! You have done some great polish work regarding the camera shake effect and particle system when the enemies explode. It really adds a lot to the overall feel of the game i think. It is also great that you have included a controls tutorial in-game, it makes for a more coherent experience i think.

Well done! :-D
