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.

Developer

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!

Developer

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!

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.

The small details like the screen shake when you get hit are a fantastic touch! 

Developer

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

Developer

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!

Developer

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!

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.

Developer

Thanks for playing and reviewing! The difficulty curve could have been smoother.

It took me a second to figure out that it was more than just Asteroids, but once I upgraded my ship, I started to really get into the cadence of my lasers and missiles firing. Great work on the ship building component. I did get to a spot where I was somehow able to remove all thrust capabilities -- but I was actually still enjoying being a stationary turret. Thanks for making this game!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the feedback.

This game was very hard at first, but after fully upgrading everything on the second hull, I'm pretty sure it becomes impossible to lose. Also it gets really loud. I do wish that the ship would stay still by default instead of having to hold the backwards key to stay still, as I found only moving when you had to made the game easier.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and providing feedback! We thought making the ship constantly move would encourage more dodging and action, but I can see how it can also make things more difficult. There's definitely a lot of work that can be done with the balancing.

Submitted(+1)

well its a hard game, but very interesting the idea! great job!

Developer

The balancing could definitely be better. Thanks for playing!

thought i need to kill all the units but all I need to do is just to stay alive! good work  :)

Developer

Thanks!

This way too well done to be for a game jam, I absolutely love it! The concept of choosing where to place thrusters and shooting stuff around a main ship reminded me of Nimbatus quite a bit, which is certainly a good thing (;

I actually spent more than 20 minutes playing it, it's awesome and not only it is enjoyable, but definitely feels quite polished :D

Developer

Im glad you liked the game!

Awesome game! The asteroids are tricky to hit but really satisfying to dodge and destroy!

THIS IS SO SO SO GOOD! I got addicted for like 20 minutes playing this game. Although upgrading felt less rewarding than risky because of how punishing death was, I really enjoyed the rougelike-ness of the game.

Thanks for playing! Im glad you liked it.

I got addicted again to playing your game. Help.
