Very nice game, with a lot of power ups and really cool effects

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind comments. We appreciate that.

The powerups were satisfying, the visuals are great, and the music/sound choices are good. I found it difficult to reliably protect the protagonist as the enemy numbers increased, and sometimes he would get killed as I quickly move to click a powerup and get out of position to deflect him. This would have been okay if the game did not reset to wave 1 of 10 on every death, but I wish I could have used number keys to activate abilities. Despite this, I enjoyed trying different abilities and thought they were all cool. The last minor thing is that the initial "click here" prompt was confusing: I tried to click the arrow itself at first.

What an absolutely stunning game! I love the colour palette used. The starry space in particular was beautiful. The humour of the aliens is great too 👽

Developer

Thank you for your kind comments and enjoying the game. We will update it with an improved version soon.

Didn't quite understand how to play, nothing really happens for a while, the idea seems ok and the presentation is good.

Developer

The beginning is a tutorial. 

After the first dialog, the game explains that you must click at a certain point to save the human ship.

After that, the game starts.

Please, tell me if you face any errors, and we will try to fix it.

Really cool project. You have added plenty of interesting shooting skills, i am amazed you did it in this short time, well done!

One thing that i would be good is making next wave starts right after you destroy last ship in current one, so player do not need to wait for wave to finish.

Developer

We will improve the project in the future and we will add your ideas.

Awesome art, simple and fun gameplay. The game becomes difficult after beating the first boss. I lost so many times that the game just ended (I don't know if that's meant to happen). Anyways I like the game. Great job.

Developer

Hi. Thanks for your kind comments.

You have 9 lives. We will reset life count after passing the stage in the future.

Thanks for you idea.

How on earth (or space) has nobody commented yet: the presentation on this game is amazing! I'd recommend adding some text effects to make the narrative a bit more engaging, but jam time constraints are always a factor. Great job. 

Developer

Thank you very much for your comments.

Yes, eventually we will improve the game and add more effects.
