Such awesome polish! This game feels so nice to play! I really love the aesthetic and the work you put into the controls. It feels so smooth and enjoyable to play. Great job :D

Cool art and music. The warning effect is great! The game is rather difficult to me with a given controls.

Anyway, well done!

Really enjoy the music an art. The explosion animation is great. Love the arcade style. Controls were hard for me to grasp and I was really bad at it but still enjoyable!

Difficult game! The soundtracks slaps HARD and the explosions are pretty cool! Good work overall!

Hard to master controls! Not bad in the slightest though, it made the game more fun and interesting than if it had been a more traditional approach.

I liked the white-red palette and the different types of enemies!

Sometimes the repair screen would jump to a "you lose" screen with a score of 0. I'm not sure if this a bug.

Nice entry!

Developer

Yeah there are some bugs, I got a lot of errors and had to switch my original idea, at least I did more than 1 enemy, I made 3 versions of the controls, but none of them worked as expected, but I'm glad you like it and this for your feedback

Fun game in the tradition of arcade classics. I like having to rebuild the ship after dying. It's a nice interlude between the fast action segments.

I love the core game loop and the aesthetic. The controls took a bit of getting used to, but aren't bad. 

I critique the things I love, so don't take any of this as negative. It shows that I love your game...

For game feel, a few audio effects in the gameplay would go a long way.

For difficulty, maybe a progressive difficulty curve, with enemies firing more slowly at first, then more and more as you progress.

For my personal taste, I'd like the sides to wrap instead of bounce, more like asteroids.

It's a bit punishing to make the player rebuild their ship at the end, only to hit them with game-over after.

Overall, fantastic game, with a nice variety of enemies and a loving nod to arcade classics.

Developer

Thanks, yes my inspiration was the asteroids from the atari 1979, i had a lot of ideias like the difficulty curve, some feedback for the player, more enemys, but i lost near to 2 days trying to solve errors with the repair system, i had made 3 versions of the controls but at the end they all looked a bit chunky, thanks for this amazing feedback

The controls were hard to get use to, and the gameplay is action packed, well done !

A certainly fun game! It feels like a roguelike, and not at all! I reached about 1190 on the score, and it does too feel challenging but I felt like the controls were a little... slow to respond. The inertia, however, were quite the fun mechanics (I loved dodging the enemies by speed, and shooting at them from behind!)

Could use some sound feedback when hitting the enemies, and firing (but that might be of the time limit on the jam).

Thanks for your amazing feedback, i forget to make the screenshake to give the feedback to the player, cause I lost like 2 days for errors xD, I made like 3 versions of the controls but at the end I felt like they were strange too, thanks for your feedback <3

The game was fun. I like the mechanic a lot! The controls did feal a little bit of clunky, but still the game is a blast!

Nice Game, I like the graphics and the ambient you made there. Even the controls felt a bit clunky I also had no accessibility or performance issues. Well done!
