cool style!
i think the game could benefit from some preset patterns in order to stay fair, as random spawning can often lead to undodgeable patterns. i would also love a secondary control scheme with wasd, especially since the qwertz keyboard makes the xz combo really awkward. keep going with this entry, add some other enemies and patterns to dodge, i see some more potential here!

Now that's some cool laser roller blading. Love the palette and the 80s graphic design, and the game is easy to understand and play. :D

Really cool game and aesthetic! I like the neon color theme and the cool trailing effect.

My play was short, but fun. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not but I kept dying unexpectedly around 12,000 immediately after getting through a barrier successfully.

you're running out of energy! you need to shoot the little bullets to get more :) not a glitch!

Good job, overall.  Kinda reminds a bit like playing one of those Tiger handheld games, except in an NES setting. A little bit of trick and strategy involved for a good score, for sure.

Question: Is the background (normally) supposed to flash?  It was black (for the most part) with the occasional flicker of colour.

hey thanks for playing! and thanks for the feedback! 


on your question: that sounds like a bug 😂

Eh, bugs happen.  When you only have so many days to make a game, it's tough to swat them all.

Love it, simple but beautiful.

Would be good to see it fleshed out a bit more but great for your second ever game :O

Good luck!

Love the synthwave aesthetics and the feeling of risk/reward of collecting a coin far ahead on the right side.
Great work!

My best score was 109300, depsite or rather more likely thanks to the game lagging more and more as it went.

The game is fun with real NES vibes, I like the music.
