How does your game fit the theme?
In this game, I approached the concept of scale by having the bullets we fire lose their power and size as they travel, which encourages the player to engage with enemies up close.

I really enjoyed the exhilarating feeling of zooming in and out of the bullets and shaking the screen.
In general, I think it's better for 2D shooters to be able to operate without inertial movement, allowing for more maneuverability.
Thank you for your feedback!
Agreed with the other commenters that it's a bit too hard/enemy bullets are too fast, but otherwise fun little asteroid shooter!
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for making it shoot automatically!
It is a little difficult and could use some polish, but I really don't have any specific feedback that the other commenters haven't already covered.
Solid submission; good work!
Thank you for your feedback!
I think the enemy bullets are way too fast and they have no anticipation so they can't be dodged, leading you to keep moving randomly and being hit randomly, also some enemy variety could have improved the game. By the way you were brave to accept the challenge of competing with 24 hours instead of the 96 the other entrants could use, shout-out to you!
Many players who have experienced the game share your concerns about the speed of the enemy bullets. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to put the game through a proper play testing process. As a result, while developing the game and playing it repeatedly, I unconsciously adapted to its fast-paced difficulty (I can comfortably score over 50 points now :D). There are actually three types of enemies in the game; if I remember correctly, you should encounter the second type after reaching a score of 20. Thank you for your feedback!
Totally relatable, We ran into the same issue with our game. We played it so much we got used to a really fast pace that can be tough for new players. We'll be more mindful of that going forward!
like the idea of scaling bullets, could use a nerf to enemy bullet speed
Thank you for your feedback!
Loved the level design.
Thank you for your feedback!
Cool art, but I could not get past 10 because the enemies bullets moved too fast to have time to dodge. I was able to figure out if I keep strafing, they would miss, but it was kinda frustrating.
Thank you for your feedback!
Enemies got aimbot, but else fun.
Thank you for your feedback!
Cute although probably too "hardcore" for me ^^; But that shouldnt detract from the score. What do I do wish existed though was a volume control as the music (while awesome) was really loud.
Thank you for your feedback!
