The art and music are superb! I didn't understand why the enemies where stuck at the bottom of the screen before the end (when they all came back -really good idea by the way-)
I didn't feel like I was linked to the spaceship, was I? I didn't noticed any countdown for staying long out fo the white area 🧐
I replay your game a few time and really enjoyed it! 😁
Hey, thank you so much!
So, you're attached to the ship in a symbolic way: if you get out of that energy field, you will die.
Glad you enjoined it! :D
great art and good story.
Nice game.
Thanks! :D
wow. First of all i loved the small story at the beginning of the game and Game's soundtrack and art are also on fire. I enjoyed it so much.Great job!
Hey, thank you so much!
Cool story and I really like the cutscenes, not sure if there's anything you can do against the flies that get past you and stay by your ship, maybe a power up to shoot backwards or a special attack would be cool, good job overall!
Hey, thanks!!
It was intended to be impossible to beat that stage. We just wanted to build some momentum until the boss fight.
The aesthetic is great. I also love how the increasingly strong knockback to shooting gives it a nice risk and reward dynamic when choosing when to collect a power up. There are few things that I wish were a little more clear, such as what the powerups do and what lives actually means. Good job.
Hey, thanks for your comments!
There're a couple of things that sadly were left out of scope and would definitely help with the unclear things that you mention, we'll see if we add some of them for a post jam version.
Nice game! Good choice of music and art for the story/concept you're doing. Keep it up!
Hey, thanks! :D
