Nice atmosphere and gameplay, Just wish it were a bit more clear what were obstacles and what was shootable, that kind of stuff. In particular I completely failed to notice that I was bumping into the pillars in the middle for a while.

I didn't realize this was going to be an endless runner (flyer?) when I watched the progress in the discord. (It's possible that I missed that while staring at the pretty pictures, hehe)

It works well as an endless runner! It's pretty challenging, my highscore was 1705. The graphics look great, and the music and SFX fit nicely.

If I had one issue, it's that I feel a little of XCVG's pain on this one... I didn't get extreme eye strain or anything, but the movement speed of the environment was a lot for my eyeballs. I had to sit back pretty far, and even then I could only do 2 runs in a row before needing to rest them.

I do understand that will probably be tough to address, given the need for speed on some of the environmental obstacles. But if the background was a little slower, I think it would help in that regard. But I doubt this effects everyone, so take this suggestion with a grain of salt.

Overall, really nice work!

The visuals and audio and fantastic and the knockback from shooting is a neat little touch. The doors not closing don't seem to damage you (I'm not sure if that's a glitch) It kind of takes a while to get to the enemies too.

My thoughts can best be summed up as: I don't get it.

I start off with my character and another character that looks like me, but doesn't do anything more than bounce around when I run into them.

There are ships flying past me that I shoot at but don't blow up, but then there are other ships that look just like them that I shoot at and they do blow up.

Sometimes the terrain goes over my character, so I lose sight of my character for a little while. Please don't to that in a game like this; it makes navigating around obstacles difficult.

I think there are some hazards in the terrain, but they blend into the background so much that I can't tell if they're actually things I should be avoiding or if they're just decorative.

There are many shot patterns from enemies that are so tight that it's impossible to dodge them. But I don't take damage from them...or anything, really! I don't think it's possible to die in this game?

Some enemies come from above and are not able to be shot at, and sometimes those enemies will go from being above to being player-level so I can shoot at them, but the way this is signaled to me is so convoluted that I can't tell when an enemy is above or same level as me.

I see that this is a work-in-progress. Good job getting started! I hope this feedback helps refine the game as it grows.

This message is directed to those who answered "No, some of them were purchased" to any of the last two questionnaires. Due to some complains regarding to the last two questionnaires, I have updated it to compensate for some circumstances in which those two questionnaires can't capture the full picture. I have updated the questionnaire so that it can slightly capture some more nuances (in particular, those who only used one or two outside assets but made the rest themselves). It definitely is still flawed, but because there are a lot of submissions already, for this jam, this is the best I can do.

If you don't mind, please honestly assess whether or not your responses (the answers themselves have changed) still apply; and if not, please click "Edit Your Submission" to refill your questionnaire.
