Awesome submission! I loved all the affirmations as sound effects, it felt very Bennett Foddy haha. It took me a while to realize that leaving the screen was an instant kill, but on the plus side, the player explosion was also super cool! Haha, thanks for the fun play. :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for trying it. Appreciated. :)

The ease of destroying the enemy and the satisfying boom made this game easy for replay. You should export it to the browser. 

Developer

Thanks for giving the game a go, I really appreciate it. :)

First of all, +1 to lorporlem's question: Does touching the border of the screen instantly kill you? If so, that should be explained in-game. The shooting and aiming feels smooth, and the effects look nice. Bonus points for the settings that get saved between sessions. The full screen toggle was on at first, but it still loaded as a window. Toggling it off and back on works, but you might want to know it does that since it only happens on the first launch.

Cheers :)

Yeah going off screen kills you. The rush to get the game out the door in time, I realise now a couple of useful instructions missed the build. Sorry.

You're welcome, thanks for the reply and confirming that! :D

Nice cool shooter! I enjoyed it. I would have liked the power ups waiting a little longer before going away. Like at least the time the ship needs to traverse the mean distance from end to end with this speed. On another aspect, why did I get blown away when being at full health when I reached the end of the screen with all enemies in front of me?

Developer

Thanks for giving my game a try, I appreciate it. :)

You can actually shoot the pickups, yeah I realise that should probably be added to the instructions. The rush of getting it done in time. And yeah, going off screen you die.

Hey cool game, just the voice over do not feel right other than that solid game

Developer

Thanks for giving the game a try, I appreciate it. :)
Next time, I won't do the VOs myself. :p

Cool, it performs really well! I did find the voice clips a bit distracting - they overlap a lot, and it feels like there should be some kind of two-way radio effect on them since we're in space. The effort to include them at all helped to give this game personality when compared to other games like this one though, so I think it was a good decision overall!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving the game a go! And yeah, if there was more time I would've done something to add radio filters to the VOs. :)

love the ui and animations and stuff! very cool!

Thanks for giving the game a shot, appreciate it. :)

I really liked how the voice over kept track of what was happening with the wave and informed me how I was doing. Really cool touch!

Developer

Thanks for giving the game a go. I'll also say I'm never doing voice overs again. Hahaha.

Funny game, it the space could be much faster it could be more funny

Developer

Thanks for giving my game a go. :)

really well done on this situation. everything is so polished. The art, the sound, the animations, the UI. Also I will mention the movement and shooting mechanic is smooth and kind of addictive. 
One bug I encountered was when I died in my first try I had to restart the game to get the enemies function again. If I didnt restart the enemies didnt shoot and after 2nd wave there were no more waves. but once I restarted it worked fine. I guess the issue is with the game loop. The other aspects are well done. Great Job. I had fun playing it and beating that high score everytime

Developer

Thanks for giving my game a go. Sorry for the bug, I did upload a v1.1 which fixes that bug. You might have missed the new version as I only uploaded it recently. :)

Submitted

I downloaded the recent 1.1 version for windows

I would've like for the spaceship to be a little faster, but very good game

I liked the dynamic voice updates and it felt good blasting the hundreds of ships! I survived until wave 4 the first time, but the second and third time I played it wouldn't let me progress past wave 2. Regardless, that was a really time!

Developer

So sorry about the bug, seems one slipped through. Thanks for playing though, I appreciate it. :)

Developer

I've just uploaded v1.1 which fixes the bug you had. :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the bug report. I've had this mentioned 2 other times and I'll be investigating why it happens. Sorry it impacted your play. Thank you for playing, I appreciate the comment. :)

game feels very polished, all the menus and stuff are amazing and all the assets look very good. Gameplay is fun! Will definitely keep playing in the future. Also very much appreciate that there's a linux version provided :)

Developer

Thank you for playing, I really appreciate it. I had a friend pushing for a Linux version, so made one for him. I would've made a MacOS version too, but I don't have an Apple Dev account, so the build kept getting blocked by Gateway when I tried testing it on my kid's mac.

Good job on the interesting use of audio and even a bit of visual effects there, and the mechanic felt pretty clean as well. Nice game overall!

Developer

Haha let's just say this will be the only game I ever do voice overs for. Thanks for playing. :)

It's fun and i love the old school feel!

Developer

Thank you for playing. :)

Wow!!! This screams you've been doing this a while, and I love to see it! There wasn't anything I could say was wrong and it will be saved on my computer to be played in the future just because. lol Loved how everything fit so well.... great job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I've been learning Godot for the last 6 months, and tinkering with a "shell" template to build my own games on. This was my first full game written on that shell. Thanks for playing, I really do appreciate it. :)
