Camera would often lose focus of the ship, and it was very difficult to understand what I was meant to do inside the ship? Besides that I found it very fun and probably the best micro/macro integration of the games so far.
Thank you for your feedback, We are glad you enjoyed the game!
very cool idea fighting cells! kinda buggy with the inner spaceship tho, camera would move all by itself and i couldnt repair anything? but ignoring that jank this game is fun to play! better subject that name to change real quick /jk lmao
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you found it fun, despite any bugs you found!
I liked the little Japanese voice; I think that is a nice touch. I also thought the sound effects for shooting were pleasant and not annoying. I could totally see this having a synth-wave soundtrack.
What would improve it was if there was text on the screen explaining the controls, and some time to actually move the ship before enemies start hugging you? I like the minimalist UI, but having something explain things before disappearing would be very helpful.
Unfortunately, I'm unsure if I'm doing it wrong, if something is wrong with my janky computer, or if I just can't move my ship for some reason. I just went back and double checked, and while a cool idea I realised that the problem is that once I get damaged I can't work out how to use the repair mechanic.
I think the colours chosen are pleasing, and I like that you used the three colours to create a gradient background. At first, I thought you hadn't obeyed the constraint at all but then I was really impressed because it is such a clever way of implying extra colours without using other colours.
Thank you! Super cool.
Thank you for your feedback, We recognise that the repair mechanic is difficult to figure out, especially due to the lack of iconography or audio feedback. We simply ran out of time to implement it properly, but if you press space at the corresponding terminal (the rectangular boxes) the ship components can be fixed. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the sound effects and gradient background!
