really enjoyable and fleshed out experience, can see a LOT of effort went in. Nice job
Thanks for playing and providing feedback! There indeed was a lot of effort put in, so we're glad you enjoyed!
I had a blast playing. The build and upgrade aspect is really well done. Also, the movement of the ship is pretty good and adds to the game as a skill based reward for mastering how to correctly move around threats. Accessing the shop by clicking a button in the corner while trying to avoid enemies might be the only problem I had (maybe there is a key input to open it, but I might have missed it). But nonetheless, this was an amazing experience.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed. You can click TAB to open the shop, which was shown in the "Guide" screen but we definitely should have been clearer and shown it in the game.
Ship building and upgrading are done very well. Visuals and sound effects are really cool too. But i had to replay it couple of times due to dying in just 3 hits in the beginning. I think lowering the diffuculty for the beginning of the game could improve the experience a lot. I also felt like astroids spawn too close to the player, i could see them popping up in the screen while going with full speed and this makes them hard to dogde due to the movement or the size of the ship so maybe spawners could be further away.
Overall a great and well polished game that could assist player in the beginning to smooth out the overall diffuculty, great job!
Thanks for playing and reviewing! The difficulty seems to be a common struggle, that's definitely something to work on in the future, maybe dedicating more time to playtesting and balancing.
Cool game, really satisfying elements!
Thanks for the kind words!
Similar idea to our entry, really enjoyable experience. The ship building aspect is very well done.
Thanks for playing! These games really are similar...
Love the upgrade system, especially since you can create wacky looking stuff hihi
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game, I love the mechanics for upgrading ships. The difficulty is just right for me
Thanks for playing and providing feedback! You're one of the few people who didn't mind the difficulty :)
The upgrade system in this game is fire! Very detailed and polished for a 4 day jam. The first time I upgraded my ship, I didn't add any thrusters, so I couldn't move anymore and died in like 3 seconds, ha ha. I feel that there is potential for a lot of depth with the endless possibilities of the upgrade mechanics. Also loved the art style. Every sprite and UI element looks so polished. Great job!
Thanks for playing and reviewing! The polish was one of the top priorities for this game, so I'm glad you liked it. There's definitely a lot of ways to expand on this game!
Polished game, neat artstyle, I love building and customizing my ship! Maybe a little bit too punishing, but great game!
Appreciate the feedback! The difficulty definitely could have been improved.
I found it a little too punishing ! I died very quickly, very fast.
The game is really great, though. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the shop or do I have to click on it (making my ship move towards a potentially dangerous place) ?
I'll play one or more games, it was very fun !
I would change the pointer when the shop-mode is active to make it very clear we're in shop-mode.
Thanks for playing and reviewing! There is the option of using TAB to open the shop shown in the guide screen, but it definitely could have been indicated in-game.
Thank you, it saved my life !
Fun and very hectic game! The presentation was top-notch. If I were to nitpick, I think too much happens too quickly in the beginning. But aside from that, this was an amazing game. Good job!
Im glad you enjoyed! The difficulty curve definitely could have been more welcoming, if we had more time.
Very fun game, reminds me of Nimbatus if you've played that on Steam.
I just wish health packs didn't get destroyed by bullets. Hard to steer towards them and not shoot directly at them and kill them.
Thanks for the feedback!
I kept running into the asteroids, but the visuals and upgrade system is really fun to play! nice work!
Thanks!
Great game design, loved playing it!
Glad you liked it!
Stunning! The gameplay, UI, effects are all on point! It's a bit difficult at first but I enjoyed it very much after I got the hang of it.
Thanks for playing and reviewing!
The small details like the screen shake when you get hit are a fantastic touch!
Glad you liked the polish!
Super super fun game! It's really satisfying to build up a super advanced ship and pilot it around. I didn't realize there were upgrades too, but that added a lot more as well. I think it would be nice if there was some sort of increased FOV or warning for obstacles off screen -- it feels like sometimes the asteroids spawn inside of you and there's not much you can do about it
A wider camera would definitely have helped with the difficulty issues. Thanks for playing and reviewing!
Really, really stunning. Absolutely loved the art and sound design. The game might be a bit too hard at the beginning, which was somewhat frustrating, but it's probably just a matter of balancing things out. Extremely polished nevertheless and has pretty much infinite potential!
Thanks, there definitely lots of potential for expansion, and even more work to be done on balancing the difficulty curve and play-testing. Glad you liked it!
really well made and super fun
Thanks!
WOW, this game is so awesome. Can't believe you guys made such a captivating and cool game in just 4 days. I also appreciate the fact that you have a guide section inside of the game instead of just relying on the itch page, something a lot of other games could do aswell. Also to point out the obvious, the game is very difficult. But its fun once you get more upgrades.
Thanks for playing and reviewing! The difficulty curve could have been smoother.
