What did you eat/drink during the jam?
Wait I thought people don't eat during game jams?:) Btw, press W to speed up. I'm sorry that I forgot to mention this in the game.

loved the concept, the dodging is quite hard but challenging :d i also found an exploit where if i spam one direction it goes faster, dunno if thats intended but here you go xD

Developer(+1)

Well the spamming is a bug. I've just realized that when some people pointed it out lol. Glad that you enjoyed my game! Your game is great as well!

Submitted

The design was not too good, but the concept and utilization of theme are great.

Developer(+1)

Yeah... my art style is not very fitting to this jam. I should have just used simple shapes instead. But I'm happy that you liked the gameplay!

Submitted (1 edit)

I liked the gameplay!

The two main things I wish there were in this game are a music track and more "geometry" focus. I think you have a really good core gameplay loop here, but the not-so-simple-looking art drops a shade on the game overall. A music track would enhance the gameplay too!

I suggest you re-create this game with only simple geometric elements and focus on polishing it to improve your developing capabilities. You can use Figma for simple geometric shapes art-wise, and use Unity's post-processing and particle systems to polish the game on top of that. Overall, such a great game!

Great job!

But there is some background music. I'm not sure why you can't hear it. About the art, it's just my personal artstyle, maybe it's not very suitable to this jam :P Other than that, I'm glad that you liked the gameplay and I appreciate that you spent the time to make such a detailed feedback!

Submitted

Ah, seems like I have missed the background music because of my setup. My bad! I take the parts back where I spoke about the music. Thanks for pointing that out!

Submitted

Really good job! The movement was a bit wonky, because eventually the thrusters would just stop moving and you had to re-add them, like if you spammed the thruster it would launch you really fast. Overall good game!

Developer(+1)

Actually you can press W to speed up the ship but I forgot to include that in the guide of the game :P Thanks for playing my game!

Submitted

this game was really nice to play :D it was a bit hard though but i like challenges and the "haha you died" really made me smile lmaoo great job !!!

(if you want to test my game that would make me so happy but don't feel forced!)

Developer

Yea I know the controls are a bit hard to use. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I'll definitely try your game too!

Submitted

I Really Like This Game. I Like The Menue Animations A Lot. After You Played For Awhile The Music Stopped Playing For Me. Since This Game Was Made In Unity Couldn't You Have It Be Playable On The Web?

Developer

This was my first game jam so I didn't know that you could submit a web game. Sorry for the inconvenience :P

Submitted

I had a lot of fun playing this game! Great work!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad that you liked the game :)

Submitted

This game is really great! I love the unique controls, however it is a bit tough to dodge the meteors sometimes. Great game! I found the same bug as the last comment, and I was really zoomin'!

Developer(+1)

I'll find a way to improve the controls. Thanks for playing my game!

Developer

Everyone, you can press W to speed up the ship. I'm so sorry that I forgot to include this in the tutorial. My bad!

Submitted

Cool Game! I found a bug, if you add and remove and thruster in the same spot you gain a bunch of momentum, which just adds to the fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing. That bug was actually from before. I thought I fixed it already :P

Submitted

It's really hard to actually place the rockets to make the ship move and the stars spawn very irregularly. Overall, 3/5

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely improve next time.

Submitted

this is quite a hard concept to work with 

the spaceship is just vey hard to control and never goes where I want it to also it very slow  maybe making it a squre would make it more intuitive to control 

the tutoriel was hard to read because the backround is transparent 

but it was fun nontheless , hope that my feedback would help

Developer

I noticed the transparent background too. Sorry for that. I was rushing at the end of the jam and forgot to fix it :P

Submitted

Cool game the only thing i would say is make it so its easier to get stars and the placing sounds are way to loud 

Developer

I'm not really good at sound designing lol. Thanks for playing the game. Yours is great too!

Submitted

Ay, thanks so much! I will definitely try your game.

This is a fun game, but the meteorites usually spawn in a way where you just can't course correct to avoid them in time. I think it might have been better to make this game have a time limit and remove the meteorites, or add a laser that could fire at meteorites.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll adjust the spawns of the meteorites.
