I like how the gun shoots with the music! Also how the ship fills up to help time the shots~ Congrats on submitting a cool game to the jam, please check out mine if you haven't :D

The mechanic was fun. I liked the sound design / audio which really helped to get the rythm of the laser. Some levels were hard but I could the reach "the end". Also, you shouldn't say "this game is bad" because I and others found it pretty good, actually! Anyway, good job!

Simple but fun mechanic! The audio being in line with the shooting was a really nice touch! Really enjoyed this one.

It is really good. I like the mechanic quite a bit, very simple but insanely fun. The different enemies are great design. I couldn't stop playing until I beat it! Great job :)

I'm really confused with your own negative comments about the game being bad, it was incredibly enjoyable and a good application of the theme! Best game I've played so far!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I genuinely thought everyone would find it boring but these comments are quite reassuring. I plan to make more games soon!

This game took the concept of being out of control to another level, the way the music flows with the gameplay is seamless in its design and it worked very well through my browser. The sound design was very satisfying! There was times I grouped the enemies together and was able to shoot them all at once and would hear explosions and the music would go along with it. By the time I was finished with the game i had the feeling of wanting more but was very satisfied with my overall experience. Amazing that you had made this so quickly!!

Thanks Eli! I was almost going to use another (better-sounding) song I had made, but I'm glad I took a risk with the sound design!

Best out of the 10 I've rated thus far!
Excellent use of the theme - both in something being out of control, and in me *feeling* out of control.

Particularly liked the regenerating enemies, I had hoped they would feature. They really made the random-firing mechanic shine.

thank you! the regenerative enemies were fun to make.
