Awesome artstyle. The simple controls and design make for some fun and challenging gameplay. The screen wrapping over being the main mechanic is very unique and difficult to master with the challenging movement but very fun when you do it right.

Controls really feel like flying a real drone - great work! Also, great choice of music, it really fits!

This got me hooked for a good while. It definitely has that addicting "just a one more game" factor in it. :) It took me somewhile to work out that you can also turn the ship as I was at first only pressing space and then got really confused when the first vertical laser showed up. :D Great game, all in all!

Thanks for the nice words!! Most of the development was spent with that “one more game” =D

Pretty fun, but tricky!

I would be nice to have some indication of where the next laser will appear, since moving is already a challenge!
