The text is kind of hard to read here.

Also, I'm not explicitly told what the controls are, when it came to warping. "You can trigger it's space warping ability to avoid enemy projectiles..." Okay, but how? It's better to show what the controls are for your game, after I click start, instead of filling it in on the description.

I don't know if this is a bug, but on my third playthrough enemies were still showing up on screen as I was in the upgrade station. Any idea?

Developer

Yeah, it’s a bug, only noticed it after submission ended. Thanks for the feedback!

This game's graphics are absolutely stunning! The animations are so smooth and polished, and I especially love the shifting purple blobs in the background. Two suggestions would be to have a more obvious animation when your character is hit, as it was sometimes hard to tell how much health I was losing, and it would be nice to have a sound when you hit the enemies. Amazing job!!!

Love the cool aesthetic you used it really made your game stand out in a good way.

Submitted

The aesthetic was really cool, probably my favorite of the jam, nice job!

I want to try this game SO hard, I'm so hyped on screenshots, but it doesn't load in the browser and there is no Linux version. Please upload it

Edit: OK so I have booted up windows, the game is so nice and bright I loved big the big variety of enemies and the background is stunning. I don't have much complaints, just make the linux build next time. And some dropped power ups likme healing or invincibillity would be nice too

Developer

I can’t test it at the moment or upload it, but I made a linux build. Come back after the voting period to give it another go in your favorite OS.

Wow, I absolutely loved the art assets and feel to this game.  I had a great time playing and figuring it out.  Controls were intuitive and I really enjoyed playing!  Maybe I missed it, but I was just wondering if teleportation was an aspect of this game?

Developer

You can teleport by either hitting space or right clicking, it’s essentially a dodge mechanic. The assets were mostly primitive shapes, noise textures and a bit of creativity :)

Damn this rectangle looks awesome :o Pretty cool look. Top Score 40

Submitted

Haha, yeah, you were right,  we really did make similar games. I love the shaders you used, as well as the parallax effect, really makes the game feel alive :D

Submitted

A good time. Really like the background effects.

Submitted

I really like the concept. This game has an interesting and highly stylized background, but I sometimes found it difficult to  determine what was potentially harmful and what was just a background element. Your theme was really good, though. The game also played and ran well, and I didn't encounter any weird bugs or anything, which is impressive.

Submitted

Beautiful game! The visuals are a definite standout. I like the variety of enemies, though I didn't often feel like they offered much of a threat. One suggestion is that since there doesn't seem to be any drawback to holding down the fire button the whole time, it might be better to just have the ship fire automatically. Very nice submission!

Developer

Thanks! The balancing act of making enemies be a threat or total pushovers was really tough. Kinda reached a “this is fine” point, otherwise I would run out of time! Turns out +1 or -1 damage and stuff like makes a huge difference in how it plays.

Submitted

Very visually cool game - I don't think I've ever seen primitives look so pretty! Really like the way you've integrated upgrades here too, they work really well and are sometimes a difficult choice to make!

Developer(+1)

Thanks :) Maybe for a next one I will learn some modeling skill huh? Who knows

Submitted

Good game, but there is no sound and no high score. Graphics are superb.

Developer

High Score should appear a few seconds after you die :)

Developer

Some people are having issues with loading the game. Try waiting a bit (it takes a bit to load), or another browser. Failing that, try the standalone version? :)
