Great gameplay! The lack of audio was a little off-putting, but other than that, the game was amazing!

Really fun, loved the simplicity

It reminded me a lot of Galaga if it had been given a nice visual overhaul and placed you behind your ship. Short but sweet is how id describe the game, biggest takeaway is that it could use some audio

Impressive visuals !

You should totally do yourself a favor and add some screenshots to your page, cause while the mech on the cover looks cool, the lack of screens doesn’t really let you know what to expect, but i’m glad i tried it cause man what a nice surprise this one was :D

I did not expect a Space Harrier/Afterburner style shooter, and you’ve nailed the style, plus taking advantage of a modern engine to have smooth sprite scaling makes this look top notch ! Gameplay wise this has some tight controls too, and the mouse aiming is always a plus, especially since here you took a bit of a realistic approach where you really have to lead your shots to hit the targets. The scrolling also felt just a bout right to convey a sense of speed.

Just a bit of a shame you have no audio what so ever :( if you add at least some sfx and a background music it would add quite a lot to what’s already there and only further enhance the game.

Solid work, particularly for a solo effort. Well done :)

Really good game. However, it could use some audio. Keep up the good work!

This was awesome, reminded me of the Sega super scaler games.

The gameplay is solid with just a bit more refinement you have a top tier game right here! This is something that with the right music, and some more touch ups on the backgrounds would elevate this game to the top of my list, is incredibly fun and really loved the mechanics you implemented, from the shooting, the way the ships come in and the way you take damage on certain parts! 

Man I geek out for this kind of stuff! Great job!

I enjoyed this, it reminds me of Galaxy Force :) The trails on the enemies help keep track of things even when they're coming in from all over the place, which is nice. Though it felt like either it was hard to land shots on them, or I wasn't getting obvious feedback when I was, either one. And enemy projectiles seem to get hard to react to with their speed, or it's just a skill issue on my part.

Love the artstyle and the design of all the assets look great, however it is difficult to know where you are aiming.
