loved the gameplay, but I concur that the one shot kills were annoying. perhaps having some limited control of the "fleet" - tracking the mouse with lag?
Yeah, that's totally a problem. We didn't have time to make it move. We will update it to be at least playable when the jam ends. Thank you!!
Definitely Roles Reversed!
Great work on the presentation. Loved the neo-retro artstyle blending with the retro SFX and Music Fits the gameplay well.
For improvements, I'd suggest allowing you to move your health balloon thing, and then balancing that out by adding some hp to the enemy. Would avoid the problem of the AI just sniping you instantly.
Overall, a very strong submission that just needs some tweaking. Nice!
Thank you! Yes, that's a big problem. We'll probably do that when the jam ends to make it playable.
good fun

The game is really well made, but its really frustrating when the ennemy just one shot you in like 1 sec in the game. Apart from his, great work !
Yes, I'm sorry. We run out of time. We wanted to make some shields and forgot to even move the main ship. Thank you for your comment, we'll update the game when the jam finishes to fix this.
I like that you flipped it around like that. Clever name
Thank you!!
I like your game's name XD I really like the scoring on win. I couldn't really do much with the 3rd person controlling but it's a cool idea. I feel like the idea of just top level controlling the ships and choosing which ones shoot is a cool enough concept to play around with. My one complaint is that the enemy ship would be a sniper and instantly hit my balloon which I didn't feel like I could do much about. Overall great job!
Haha, no way, I'll check out your game. Thank you very much. We couldn't finish the game in time, so the sensitivity in the build ended up much higher than in the editor, and couldn't do anything. We'll at least fix that and let the main ship move to stop dying unavoidably.
Nailed the theme, great job. The art and sounds are good. I would have liked the ability to move my ship or whatever it is. That with the enemy getting faster and maybe shooting more as the levels increase could make this really addictive. The global leaderboard is an awesome idea. Well done
Thank you! I totally think the game needs that. We are waiting for the results to update the game with those improvements. I thought updating the game this week was cheating with the time restriction.
The implementation of a leaderboard that actually saves your highscores across plays is awesome! This game feels really polished and is quite fun. I will say that there was no noticeable difficulty curve, the game started off fairly easy and didn't really get any harder, maybe later rounds could make faster ships and maybe add a second ship as well or something. Overall though, really impressive, amazing job!
Thank you! I failed to manage my time to make a playable loop. You can't even protect your death and that's no good. The enemy ship has very simple AI so we want to change that when the jam ends, at least to make it progressively harder and give the player a chance to dodge.
I'm not sure I quite understand what the RMB is supposed to do. Regardless I had fun playing this!
Haha thank you! Don't worry, there is little feedback. When the yellow ships glow, you can control it and charge forward with that ship. I understand the confusion.
I really like this reversed space invaders, and the music is amazing
Thank you very much!
