Hey everyones, i had a break, but, as godot had a quick crash before reuploading, i had to connecgt back links, and i just forgot the one that repeats the attacks.. I've just bushed a bug fix request.I hope it will be accepted so you can try and see how the game was intented to be !
I liked this! Cool sound design and detailed game menu. I thought the game loop needed a bit more difficulty - maybe damage when bashing into an enemy ship, OR more of a cooldown on weapons that meant tactically bashing into the void spirals caused damage when weapons weren't available? Either way I enjoyed playing!
Thanks a lot for your feedback ! Your awesome, it will help me
Hey, I've fixed the issue with the enemies if you'd like to test it again !
The gun firing animation and sound caused whacky monkey brain neurons to fire-off for me. So satisfying in a way I struggle to explain.
Thanks bro :)

Awesome, will do :)
I will start with saying, I think this was the only entry so far (that I saw) that had perfect 5/5 accessibility options with the keybindings. Good job. You paid attention to having a proper menu, and everything, felt very polished.
The only issue was the bug where enemies don't attack. By the way, it would be ool if some enemies would not shoot but would try to push you in the black hole.
I also loved the minimalistic music. Great job, will follow you in case you fix that bug. :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback, And I will continue this game further, also, yeah that's a cool idea to have an enemy like that ! will keep that in mind when developing it!
Hey, I've fixed the issue with the enemies if you'd like to test it again !
I will later today, thanks for the infor. 馃槄
Yep, works like a charm now. Now it is even more fun.
Really polished and easy to pick up and play. I got to about level 5, I also had the issue others mentioned about enemy's only firing once.
I love the little details of the weapon recharge and reload graphic and a full options menu. I've yet to get that into a jam game, one day...
Thanks a lot ! It sad that enemies are just firing once and i see blackholes are lagging too ?

Good Gameplay. Fun to play.
Thanks

love the visuals in this game! the ships, black hole effect, background and icons are all great
I was a little split on the ship control. I liked that it was a little unorthodox, but may have felt better to just be able to turn in place.
Are the enemies only supposed to fire once at the beginning of the round? that is all they did for me
fun game. great work!
Thanks for playing, the enemies aren't mean to do that !Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on it as it make the game way less interesting ...
Hey, I've fixed the issue with the enemies if you'd like to test it again !
the lads still seemed to only be shooting once per round for me
then you must not have played the new version x(
Hmm, I did update it in the itch desktop client. maybe something went wrong with the update. I'll try again this weekend
Impressive effort - especially the VFX and shaders! I was also impressed that you have a full options settings menu. The background, graphics, and juice all look great, though I thought the visuals could be a bit more cohesive.
Thanks a lot ! I did all that !, You can download the settings menu into the itch page there's a link, Ther's no README file for now, but it may come out somedays !
Wow, very extensive settings menu, is that something I could use?
Of course, I gived the link in the game page description
