I like the triangle shape graphics; Fun mechanic of the enemies sucking out my oxygen

Very nice submission, great job!

The enemy movement was so bewildering and chaotic, it's a large part of what made this game so fun for me. I think it was also balanced really well all things considered. When I died, it felt fair, I wasn't being smart and managing my resources well.

Very fun! Great first submission, fellow first timer!

Well made. The fire of the ship is a bit bad on my ears, but the game is great, love the idea !

A fun space shooter that works really well in the Asteroids style control method. I've no idea what kind of crazy person could do it in the other control scheme 🤣

I was a big fan of the weapons and the enemies, they felt juicy and had a nice style that was present throughout the game.

Juicy space shooting, can't go wrong. Thanks!

Love the primitive shapes style and the sound! 

My feedback:
- I hit an invisible wall. Would either be better to have some trick to make it 'infinite' or show the wall so theres a visual reference for it.


Awesome work :)

Quite original graphics, pleasant sound effects. An interesting health alternative.

I liked this game!

The particle effects seemed a little strange, they seemed to be too slow and the lifetime was too long. And yet, this is still space and you don’t want to run into the boundaries of the world.

Thank you for creating the game, I don’t regret playing it.

Cohesive style and fun game! The only thing is for me is  it was a bit difficult to pick up the dropped fuel and oxygen.

Yeah, I should make their hitboxes larger. That's something I'll tweak after the jam ends (and maybe change the decay rate)

A lot of fun, well done.

Good concept and nice delivery.
I liked the particle effects and the arcade feel it has to it.
What really would add to the experience to me would be more objectices besides surviving until the time runs out. If you want to continue working on it adding a greater enemy and asteroid variety would also really improve the game in the long run.

good job and keep it up

The shape graphics are well-done, it feels very consistent. Asteroid meets Hill Climb Racer, kind of, simple but fun!

Fun game! :-D
