How does your game fit the theme?
You can only control your ship's acceleration while not shooting. In addition, when overcharged, your ship is very difficult to handle and goes "out of control", unleashing tons of bullets.

Really nice one. It's a lot of fun to play, and the art and sound are great. It was also fun discovering the different behaviour of holding down the LMB vs quickly pressing it.

I just didn't understand what the UI meant, like where I could find my health. The dash after firing was nice as well, but I wish it could be used to damage the enemies as well. I also constantly confused the small enemies with projectiles. So, I would remove them from the game.

Reminds me a lot of Luftwasers but this is still really fun, and flying the plane itself just FEELS really good!

I like how you only have to press one button but still you feel like doing a lot with that one button. No downsides comes to my mind. Well done!

This was immensley satisfying to play, I'd love to see this fleshed out with some levels or boss fights. The boost forward when your engines come back online after shooting is so cool.

Wow I really like this! The presentation is superb and the concept is really fun. I was surprised when I entered the overcharge mode (can't remember what you called it haha) but it was fun seeing the ship going absolutely crazy.

This game reminds me so much of an old .io game I used to play called Wings.io.  It had a similar plane visual and game feel to this game.  I really liked the different enemy types and all the different indicators.  One thing that I would add is some sort of quit button to make it easier to exit out.  Otherwise,  great game!

Super fun to play! Especially the overcharge is a nice touch and fits the theme!

Very cool feel, well done ! Like the concept too ! Those controls are very refined, a pleasure to use !

Submitted(+1)

I really like the arcade feel of this game!  One of those easy to learn, hard to master games.  I like it!

The movement and the controls of the spaceship are incredibly satisfaying and the game feels great too. Very nice work, really!

Submitted(+1)

Woah.. Controls are smooth. Audio and art is great. Paying attention to the burst after you stop firing. Firing to lose altitude. And the Itano Circus when you're overcharged. *Chef's Kiss*

If my cursor is an aim cross, I would have beat the game!

Wow, this game is amazing, the ONLY thing I would change is the visibility of those orbs you collect.

Really great game, I wouldn't be surprised if this makes the top 20

Really cool game! Excellent presentation and colours. The tutorial was nice and seamless, could fly around and experiment as the controls were explained. So much juice too! Well done!

Submitted(+1)

It's got a really cool retro feel about it that I really enjoy! I like the style and I can see getting lost in this for hours trying to chase a high score. I would've liked to have seen a menu or a high score record so I have a number to know to beat, I hope you continue this project to add that - but that aside, this was really polished, well made and well executed, great one!

Really cool game! I like how you turned the "out of control" mechanic into something you actively want to achieve. Only complaint is that you can't see your own damage, but the gameplay is lots of fun!

Lots of fun! But you need to add a way to exit the game once you start...
