This is not only a solid jam game, it's a solid game, period. Deceptively simple, hard to master. I really like this. My only nitpick is that I wish there were sounds for when bullets hit blocks, for extra feedback. Great work!
Very nice! The design fits very well with the capabilities of the 2600, and makes for an enjoyable game. I’m struggling a lot to control the ship laterally, but it certainly is fun, and very fluid.
Where you have been when I was playing Atari 2600?
I am 100% sure that this one would have been my number one game if it existed back in the day.
My only complaint is the random distribution of the bonus items.
I had my highest score on my worst run.
Combines, like, three simple mechanics to make a game that is absolutely more than the sum of its parts. Every now and again my brain would just lose its grasp of the control systems so I'd panic and plummet into the ground and die, but I could totally picture myself with a classic 2600 joystick getting to grips with this game. Also really liked the graphic design. The visuals are super simple, but clean and stylish, and way classier than anything that ever launched on the 2600 back in the day.
nice game! but why only one live? but for a while it makes fun
Pretty nice and simple concept, good idea and plays well.
