How does your game match the theme?
The player travels through space. Just like the title says.
Upgrading and firing at astreroids was quite fun.
Some meteors seemed invincible though? Also there was an issue with not being able to clear a line with Pistol or Minigun when too many piled up at a row. Other than that, really quite a blast. Especially since some of them were armed and you had to dodge around. Expand on the concept more, I think it'd made for a nice arcade game.
Nice visuals, nice concept, music, gameplay... Everything and looks feels awesome! I like how the helmet shows how many hps you have left, and the evolving powerups are a nice touch too. There was a few glitchy asteroids (indestructible and didn't hurt the cat) but it's not game breaking or annoying.
I wonder if my cat does any of this while I sleep though...
this is really fun and simple! makes me wish i had prioritized adding powerups in my game lol. nice visuals and music as well!
Fun short and sweet game with some very charming graphics! I liked the weapon system, though it seems a bit daunting to play without using the spread shot at some parts. Would love to see the post-jam version!
This was fun. I absolutely adored the cat's helmet being the health meter. I am proud to say I found the space milk. Excellent job!
Very fun, and great aesthetic! I enjoyed getting to mix and match the weapons, I was worried I’d be locked into my first choice. There was one asteroid which didn’t seem to collide with any of my weapons but apart from that it was a really enjoyable experience, well done!
I replayed it a few times and managed to relatively consistently reproduce the bug. It seems to happen when there’s too many asteroids on the screen and they start spawning on top of each other. If you pick the pistol from the first and second box, and then stay close to the bottom of the screen, only shooting enough to defend yourself, then eventually you’ll get a few non-colliders, especially when the first few gun asteroids spawn. Not sure why it’s happening, but might be something to do with how the asteroids push themselves apart while also being clamped within the play area. Also, I just discovered the palette swap in the menu, really nice for switching things up between runs!
No problem, I’ve ran into similar issues in the past when making 2D games but working with 3D transforms. Had a lot of trouble with sprites disappearing beneath the background or above the camera Z-layer because I was just taking the vector between two objects, normalising it, and flipping it, without realising it was slowly shifting their Z position too. Glad I could help though, hopefully you get it fixed for the post-jam release!
The gameplay is pretty good and have a lot of potential.
any plans to develop it further?
The game is really very fun, as simple as it is, it is more addictive than it seems, I found myself retrying it more than 4 times after finishing the game.
I love the art! Both the style and the color choice is really fun to look at. The gameplay was very simple but surprisingly challenging too. Nicely done!
This plays really well! It was fun to try different weapon combos. A little more variation in obstacles would be cool.
Very smooth and fund little shooter. The sprites are delightfully huge, the music is catchy, and the visual design is clear (thanks for pointing out the player character's hit box in the tutorial screen, btw).
In the spirit of constructive feedback, it would be fun to have more types of enemies, besides just asteroids.
Really enjoyed this! not sure if it was the colour pallette, sprites or mechanics but had such a nice feel to it!
Great lil schmup with upgrade mechanics and satisfying juice. Great job!!
I was not expecting such a hooky gameplay loop :D I really like that rogue-lite element "choose your upgrade" feeling in this game. The way the asteroids appear on screen is deceptive, and got deadly way quicker than expected xD fun game
