- I found the game running smoothly. The art was simple and retro. I really missed the sound effect. This game seems to have been made for another jam. I look forward to seeing what you create for the next Jam!

Extra Notes
Was tangentially inspired to try a Gamemaker tutorial from their YouTube, and accidentally fell in love with an idea. Then realized I might as well submit it, since it's within the scope and span of the jam.

Saw that this was a project made to learn from a Gamemaker tutorial. It's working really well! The controls were a little different than what I expected, reminding me a bit of tank controls from classic 3D PS1 games like Silent Hill. Once I got the hang of it, it was fun to try to dodge the asteroids whilst trying to rein in the ship and not let it float too far. I also somewhat enjoyed that I could shoot really fast if I clicked quickly.
It works really well. Well done! Keep making stuff!
Thank you so much for the feedback! <3 I totally agree, it is definitely 'reign in the ship' territory instead of letting it fly, which I am hoping evolves into the risk assessment I intend this game to be (commonly not present when someone just holds the w key in a shooter game). My hopes include letting things like clicking quickly to be on the player, and not the upgrades they choose whenever I get further in (freedom of expression, not of consequence). Was afraid I was delusional so it makes me happy to know the underlying goals are having affects I was looking to achieve! I am very sporadic but I'm peeping your game with a vengeance next brain cell I get ╓ºuº╖ (frog because default pfp).
