Ranked from 8 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How was your jamming experience? Were you able to produce more or less than you expected?
Way less! I focused in less important things like the design and couldn't finish a better combat system. Also, I had little time to work in the game because of my job.

How did you apply the theme to your entry?
You are in space exploding aliens and asteroids to protect your planet.

Anything else to add? (share your twitter, twitch, youtube etc.)
@TLegendOfLucas I've used some third-party assets: Font: Mini Pixel 7 by Style-7. Plugin: Epic Leaderboard. Music: Space Fighter Loop & Space 1990B by Kevin MacLeod.

Wow! I'm particulary impressed by the customization, and the scoreboard, well done! Maybe the IA is too dangerous, I only managed to kill one, even when I retried. Also when you retry, you can't move anymore. Except these two things, it's pretty impressive for a game jam!

Thanks Jules! About the AI, I expent a lot of time in the customization, the principal mechanic in the game, so the AI was made in a hurry.  
About this bug, I'll investigate it. Thank you very much for your review!

I think i know this bug, when you reload a scene, it sets the time scale to 0. I think all you got to do is set the time scale to 1 at the beginning of the level

I don't really stop the game after death, I don't set time scale neither pause the game. But I'll take a look and fix it!

Very nice work on this! The ship building system was great and reminded me of the gummi spaceship from Kingdom Hearts 2 :D I love how the graphics looked and the exploding asteroids looked great. The music really fit well with the atmosphere of the game too! I do wish there was a way to show where the nearest enemy was, it would help with defeating the waves a little easier instead of just having to hunt around :) 

Great work on this!

Developer

Thank you very much gamesplusjames! 
The enemy indicator was going to happen but I got out of time in the jam. Maybe later I'll make a version with more pieces for the spaceship (like in KH2) and add the things that got cut out in the jam version. Thanks for your review!

Unfortunatley your game crashed on launchon my mashine. A shame, the screenshots look promising

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't know what caused the problem in your machine, but I updated the file and it should work now!

Really cool!  I love it when games let me customize the look of things~~  I really want to learn how to do that for 2d platformers (thanks for giving me a study idea haha).  Good job on your game!  Please check out 'Europa'  if you have time, I like getting constructive criticism!

I'll check it for sure! Thanks for your review.
