Very fun game! I enjoyed the various enemies and bullet patterns and the dash was so satisfying to use. It took me some time to get used to the controls but thanks to the tutorial I still managed to get all A ranks. I wish there was some details on how ranks are calculated and maybe a more difficult rank for replayability. Other than that the game felt very polished and the chiptune music was great. Good job :)
Thank you! All A ranks is excellent; the tank controls and the ship turn speed definitely take some time to get used to, I wish I’d had a few more people playtest some of the movement earlier on. I also wish I’d added some details on the rank as well to the mission-complete screen. The specifics are: S rank = no damage taken, A rank = no deaths (no repairs), B = 1 death, C = more than 1 death. Glad you liked the music too, thanks for playing!
Great game play, reminds me of some good old arcade titles. Pure fun :]
Thank you!
It's really fun to play, I liked the tiny ships and the repair option, I think it is a great approach to health and lives, I might borrow it in the future.
Thank you! I really like non-punishing failure modes in games; I feel like dying and getting sent back to a checkpoint feels really bad, especially in a jam game where I just want people to see my entire game. I’ve gotten really positive responses from similar mechanics in the past, I highly recommend giving it a try.
Well done! The music was quite good and the graphics also aren't bad. And the dash-crash attack was nice! I only know about one big problem - the controls. Firstly, moving forwards and backwards by Up and Down arrows and rotating by Left and Right is everything but intuitive. People (including me) are used to moving to the left and to the right by Left and Right arrows. Secondly, it's weird that the cannon shoots to the sides. It's usual for the cannon to shoot forward, it was difficult to get used to shooting to the sides. Next time, make the controls intuitive and don't try innovations. Except for the controls, the game is awesome!
Thanks for the feedback, tank controls are definitely polarizing, in retrospect it’s definitely not my favorite control scheme. Thanks for giving the game a try!
The game is a joy to play. A very polished experience. Music, art and sfx are top notch. Got A rank on all three levels :)
Wow really nice job, AAA is really good. Thanks for the kind words and for playing, I really appreciate it!
