Hahaha, I think I am going to make it so you can pass through your own ships in a post-jam update, as well as flesh it out into a fuller Vampire Survivor's type game. If you'd be interested in playing in the future, throw me a follow to get update notifications!

Great suggestion! I will add it to my list of improvements. If you want to get notified when the game's updates drop, throw me a follow! Thanks for playing!

Haha, I think the crash is inevitable if you keep upgrading, and enemies keep spawning. Eventually there's just so much going on that a browser bases game is doomed to crash. I'm hoping that I can balance the gameplay in a way where it wont get THAT insane, but still allow you a fun degree of insanity. If you'd be interested in revisiting the game after I make some major updates, throw me a follow to get update notifications.

PS Love your avatar. Some of my working names for the game were Pirate King and One Pirate lol. I might still change the name after the jam.

Hahahaha, the beginning is especially unforgiving. If you'd be interested in playing again after I release some balance updates, throw me a follow to get notified when they come out! Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing and for the stream! Threw you a follow!

If you'd be interested in playing a more fleshed out version, throw me a follow to get update notifications!

Thanks for playing! If you're interested in playing more after future updates, drop me a follow to get notified when they release!

I agree, the turning is a little slow for comfort at the start, but I was thinking that'd be an incentive to upgrade it. I am planning to create cross-run progression, where maybe you can unlock different ships. I'll plan to have a ship that starts off with decent turning!

Oof, never even considered that! Will do! It usually happens automatically because I preconfigured a controller in Unity with all the standard mappings that I usually use, but implementing it is slightly more work than using the their old UI input, and I cut corners there when I was building this

Hahaha amazing! I hadn't managed to push it to that point yet, but I assumed there would be a point where it would crash.  I had played to a point where I think there were so many enemies that my Pathfinding stopped working. In retrospect, using A* Pathfinding for such a massive amount of enemies was a very unoptimized solution @_@'

I think I am going to polish it up into a full game though. If you're interested in playing an updated version, throw me a follow!

XD The Pirate King!

If you'd be interested in playing a more fleshed out polished version of this, throw me a follow, I am thinking about upgrading it into more of a Vampire Survivors-type game.

Thank you! When the music goes through a more dramatic change it is signaling the next tier of spawns. The total track is 15 minutes long without looping! 

Thank you! If you'd be interested in playing a more fleshed out version of the game, throw me a follow for updates!

I agree, especially in the beginning. I kind of hate the angled cannons on the front, they are hard to aim. I honestly only put them there because the sprite already had them placed there hahaha. I am thinking of updating the game to allow you to select multiple types of ships with different stats. If you'd be interested in playing an updated version, throw me a follow for updates!

I am thinking of releasing some updates post-jam, especially to the power up system. I each power up needs it's own unique scaling, and I also think that the intensity of the scaling could be offset by being give a set of a few random options to choose from instead of all of them at once. If I did that, I could make the early game a little easier. Originally it was, but the darn Fire Rate upgrade was so powerful that I nerfed the starting stats to compensate at the last minute haha. If you'd be interested in playing an updated version, throw me a follow for update notifications!

I feel like I should finish it out, but the thought of refactoring some of that spaghetti code I wrote towards the end late last night has me feeling hesitant xD

Haha, it's funny because I built logic for a different game to make attacks occur on beat. But I did not implement that here because I was too concerned about time, so any on beat cannons were by pure chance! I think the BPM of the beat just happened to line up with the track xD

Ugh! Can't believe the Retry button broke, it was working at one point @_@

When you level up you can increase turn speed! Unfortunately I didn't have time to balance all the scaling and I feel like the result is a weird progression experience. I'd have liked early levels to come faster, but increasing Fire Rate a few times makes you super strong, and so last minute I watered the progression down to counter it. Because of that spending the level up points on turn speed early on isn't very viable. Increasing Fire Rate is just too good because it scales much faster than everything else. Everything needs a lot of tweaking. I may release a more complete version in the future! Thanks for playing!

The progression definitely needs adjusting. If you spend your level up on Fire Rate the first few levels, the game becomes a lot easier lol. I slowed progression a little bit to counter that, but unfortunately that watered down everything else. What I really needed was separate scaling for every power up, but I ran out of time/brain cells before I could go back and implement that.
