Thank you for the feedback! Yes I've head that the difficulty is a problem many times lol, wish I had more time to work on that element of the game.

Neat idea and really easy to pick up and play for hours. Love the juiciness of the attacks and deaths

Thank you!!

I love the difficulty of this game, there's a nice difficulty curve and it's easy to jump back in again every time I failed (which happened a lot :P). I loved the "juice" as Mark would call it, the particles and sound effects were amazing!

I thought the gameplay mechanic was pretty creative, and the different colors made it very easy to figure out. Very good aesthetic design! I liked the art style as well, it looked good to my eyes :)

Also the music! Nice job! I love video game music, and I really like your take on it. I'm going to have that theme stuck in my head for a while, it's so cool! Good work for making all the gameplay, art, music, sound effects, and an amazing project overall in just 48 hours on your own! This is my first game jam too, and I love seeing that I'm not the only one who did it solo :) If you wouldn't mind, could you rate my game as well? I found this game on Discord and thoroughly enjoyed it :)

Developer

Thank you so much from the great feedback!! I really appreciate it!

Fun idea. I sometimes got myself into a situation  I felt was impossible to avoid and I died, but overall you did well :)

Developer

Thank you! Yes, the difficultly was not  adjusted right, if only I had more time lol. Thanks for the feedback

Great submission! Love the UI elements - informative without feeling cluttered. Great use of colours as well, and the explosions feel satisfyingly 'punchy'. Keep it up!

Developer

Thank you!!

Super fun game! Realy like the mechanics that you can only move to certain directions if others are destroyed!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! Glad you had fun!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! The visual feedback on what controls are gone, and how much you can use is perfect! Had fun playing it, good job!

Developer

Thank you!! 

Submitted(+1)

Wow, surprisingly, as a game this works really well. I was surprised oh much fun I had. I'd say if you polished the graphics and found a way to vary the gameplay a little more, this would actually be a good little time waster. Good job.

Developer

Thank you!! Yes I will plan on spending some time to improve this game, need to work on difficulty, seems to be a problem! I'm glad you had fun!

Submitted(+1)

this game is pretty cool! I love the visuals, and the audio too, please keep working on it, i think that's a cool project! rated! please check out my game too :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!

Submitted(+1)

I like that each control has character :D

Developer

Thank for playing! I liked you video too! Yeah the biggest issue with the game is the difficulty, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I always love to see lefmade art and audio
even more if the fit togather

Had fun playing the game,
Only problem was, when one control went out,
I was unable to get more on that side,

So after not being able to go right, I couldn't get anything on the right side.
was a bit annoying to see something I need on that side

All in all a good game,
Great work and a good fit to the jam.

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, yes the biggest issue with people are bringing up is the difficulty, I should have focused more on that! 

Submitted(+1)

Great game, got to understand why I couldn’t move anymore on my second try once I figured out the edges were connected to the sides of your ship.

Overall great game

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Everything was communicated very well! Alot more polished GUI wise than alot of the other games in the jam!

Developer

Thank you so much!!

Polished graphics and gameplay! I had fun playing this, definitely felt out of control. Well done! :)

Developer

Thank you!! I'm glad you had fun!

The game feels pretty fun to play, and I like the graphics.

The ability to use controls is nicely indicated on the character itself, although I thought these were thrusters that push you, not pull. Speaking of indication, I wish these bars were placed somewhere around the parts (engines, gun) themselves, as it's hard to look at the sides of the screen while avoiding and shooting enemies. Also, I think difficulty curve could be a bit smoother.

Overall, great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yes the biggest two things people are saying is the stamina bars and difficulty, I plan to fix these after the jam! Thanks again! 

Submitted(+1)

Your game is really cool I like the game play. You should keep working on it! Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new things.  Please check out my game when you have time :D

Developer

Thank you, yes I plan to make a v2 version of this game based on all the feedback I am getting. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome! The concept is great and the game feels really great when played because of feedbacks like SFX and VFX. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!!
