Really impressive little spin on a tower defense. Beautiful art, juicy game feel, nicely done! It's really impressive what you were able to do in the limited jam time, high marks!

And if you haven't had a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!

Developer

A good spin on a tower-defense! Gotta say the On/Off mechanic here can be a bit much, there should be some resting time between waves, and the bouncing shield mechanic when the ship is off is too hard to focus on while you're upgrading. Having said that, this has definitely some potential to be expanded upon, I think the general idea is pretty good!

Developer

Thank you for playing and feddback, the game still needs balancing but in OFF mode, when all enemies have been destroyed with the arc shield, the others don't move, allowing for upgrades and repairs :)

Very cool game! I love the graphics. It was a bit difficult, but the gameplay loop is super fun! I think having a tutorial would be helpful. It seems super polished so far! Eager to see what you do in the future!

Developer

Thank you for playing and feddback :) I have a more comprehensive tutorial planned to come.

Loved it, it was really hard. Couldn't find a strategy to win ha, but so nice you can manage 3 "characters" toggling. Really good submission!

Developer

Thank you for playing! It would be much harder with 3 characters.

Great game! I remember few games that has a similar concept of defending  a base at the center and there's a shield that will block incoming projectiles. What I like the best here is the graphics. It's really polished.

Developer

I like this kind of game like Kingdom <3 Thanks a lot for your feedback, glad you like it :)

Kindof FTL-like... very cool idea... I would like to see it a bit more fleshed out

Developer

FTL <3  Thank you for playing, I have some ideas for the sequel.

Oh, wow, really hard game! I suppose it is inspired a bit by Dome Keeper? I tried few times, but haven't reached the end, I suppose I need to train more :D 

Developer

I've never played Dome Keeper, but I've seen some videos. Great game ! Upgrade all systems and turrets quickly to win ;)
Thank you for your feedback :)

This is fun! The swarms have a nice evenness to them. The arc-shield felt a bit underpowered compared to the gun, but that could be my problem. The art is very pretty. Great work!

A bit confusing to understand at first. A tutorial would be welcome. Original idea and good realization, only for me the pace is too fast and quite demanding because it requires attention to several things at once. A very good game for those with quick reflexes.

Developer

Thx a lot! There is still a lot of content to add in the upcoming updates, including a tutorial. I've already made some improvements that will be in the next version after the voting ends.

Nice work. I love the mechanics of shutting down to restore energy but rotating shield was a bit annoying. I would like if I could automate the rotation of the shield. Good game. Congratulations.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, the arc shield can be improved and I'll take note of the boring aspect.

Very fun game the switching was well done and the graphics was good, It really can become something amazing with time, good luck man this is probably my favorite game in the jam !

Developer

Thx! Stay tuned, more content to come soon!

Not bad. I do like the art.

Enjoyed playing the game a lot :D

i love space games and tower defense games, and this one got Both ! <3

I like how if your spaceship is damaged, you can switch to the character and fix it from inside :D

Great job !

Thx a lot! Much more actions to come ;)

Your game is going unnoticed, but seriously it’s too great, all the points in favor, nothing to criticize, I hope you get a good position in this competition.

Developer

Thank you for this great comment. Visibility during game jams can be tough, but it's okay if the game appeals to a few people, that's already good.

I love these types of Faster than Light style multi-tasking type games. I think a tutorial or intro level would have helped. I felt frustrated I didn't know the controls or what did what and all of a sudden I'm under attack(what?!). I think there is a super fun game hidden in here, just gotta polish up some stuff and you'd be good to go! Also feels like a fantastic co-op opportunity (one person in the drone, the other running around fixing stuff!)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, indeed FTL is one of my favorite games and big inspiration :) I added some pop up to explain the controls but i didn't have enough time to improve it, this game needs a more complete tutorial that will be added after the game jam.

Wow, love the concept and this game has lots of potential :)

Developer

This game absolutely nailed the deep space atmosphere! The controls at first were a bit confusing and finnicky and gameplay was slow but can still be used to, and some enemies blend in with the collectible gems, but it was definitely a polished experience.  The art, along with the background, complemented the music so well, and it created this beautiful, immersed scene.  Great work!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, i plan to add a tutorial, glad you like it :)
