It's a great idea with pretty polished mechanics. The art style is also really well made. Good job!
If there was some sort of radar(maybe arrows on the edge of the screen) pointing towards enemies and maybe just a little bit more... stuff, then it would've been sort of game i would play on mobile if i am bored.
I do plan on updating the game some after the jam finishes, so check back in a few weeks and I might just do that!
I really liked the graphics and audio. Also, the port for mobile is really good.
you did an amazing job!!! You could probably publish it to the app store its so good!!!
Cool concept, loved the visuals, and it's really cool to see a mobile version as well, only problem was, that it was pretty hard to aim at enemy ships
In a world... where things only turn counter clockwise... one ship... will shoot forever...
Good job, feels really good and the presentation is superb. I don't know how out of control the game is but I appreciate the final product for what it is.
Good luck!
This is so stupid and SO FUN! I love it! Absolutely brilliant!
Great job on tuning all the movement variables, even with one button the controls feel tight and fair!
Nice idea and catchy name! It would be great if added a mini map or tracker to see enemies that are out of screen, otherwise, nice job! We also made a game, if you would like to check it out.
The art looks really good, and the game feel is overall nice, but the one-directional turning often leads to inescapable situations when lots of bullets are on the left.
True, I've noticed the same thing. I have some ideas on how to mitigate that that I imagine I'll implement in a post-jam version.
For one, I plan to make destroying a pirate restore a small portion of the player's health - I'll probably also reduce the rate at which "right-handed" ships spawn, too.
It's like Galaga meets NASCAR - in a good way! Love the art, and runs great on Android.
Love the artwork and presentation! Smooth controls too (I know it's only one button, but the movement feels fluid and natural). Good work!
Your artwork and animation presentation is fantastic! Really simple but effective concept too. Great work! :D
Fresh take on a classic genre! I played on Android and it was very smooth. You really have to employ a different strategy than you are used to when you can only turn one direction! Nice game! :)
Great game, looks amazing and fun but challenging to play. Played Android Version.
I think the game is very unique, a game you can only turn left introduces all new strategy you have to apply. Great graphics and awesome game overall.
Man you are amazing i loved everything especially effects and arts.
