This is a pretty solidly made game! The aesthetics look fantastic, and the teleportation mechanic is very well-balanced. Some suggestions we thought of were to be able to click and hold to shoot, to have a bit more variety among the enemies, and to have the upgrade menu between levels instead of on the title screen. Great job!!

Really well made, love the upgrades menu and the "upgrade bars" you made, it adds a lot for the game. i wish there was more feedback when the enemies are hurt, such as a red overlay or something.
overall awesome game!

Overall the game's well made and came together strongly, my only complaint is that in the end there's nothing too unique about this game. There are countless games that exist with the exact same formula. That being said, it's a pretty strong formula haha, so nice work! I really like the effect on the ship when you teleport.

Great retro Space Ship game. The effect of teleportation is cool!

I really like the game. It looks great, and sounds fantastic! My only gripe is that I wish there was an indicator for teleportation cool down because I took a lot of damage spamming double tap to try to teleport, while not going anywhere. As it currently is, it  is a tough sell that to have to sacrifice standard movement to maybe teleport.  I think an indicator would help me better judge when to dodge and when to try to teleport. Overall really cool concept. I hope you had fun at this game jam!

I feel as if the movement was too slow. The teleportation does come in handy, but in a tight space like this, I usually get shot down after I do that.

Word of advice: It's better to have your tutorial show up on the start of the game, rather than filling it in the description. Because I didn't knew I had teleportation abilities at first, until the read the description.

Great soundtrack and artwork though. Keep it up!

Cool game, but a little too hard for me

Wow, great art and music, love it, fits exactly those type of game, makes it even more engaging. The game at first feels a bit slow, but it's what makes the teleport a really usefull think and makes it fits the game.

Overall, great use of teleport and nice looking game, congrats!

Great game and idea, I really liked all the art.  The only problem I had was with the controls. Sometimes I teleported when I didn't mean to and others I couldn't when I wanted to. I think moving the teleporting to q and e could make it easier and a bit more reliable. I really enjoyed the game overall though

Superb game, loved everything.

I like simple concepts like this with upgrades to give the game some more replayability.  I didn't like very much the slow movement of the ship and the click to shoot mechanic. But in general I think it's very solid.

hi, saw your post on the IndieTales discord.  this is pretty fun!  the graphics and music are really nice and the upgrade options add a lot to the gameplay.

a couple issues i had with it:
the window to double-tap A or D to teleport is way too liberal and i often found myself teleporting by accident.
i'm not a fan of using left mouse button to fire.  i would have preferred a key instead.  another issue with having to use the mouse is that you need to keep your mouse within the game area to shoot and i kept accidentally moving it outside of the area and not being able to shoot until i realize what was happening.
i really do like your sprites!  a bit more juice could help though-- some parallax scrolling in the background, small explosions when a laser hits enemies (or your ship) but doesn't kill them, and having your ship bank to the side when moving would add a lot.

other than that, i think some additional weapon upgrades, a few more enemies, and a boss could be really cool.  really nice work for a short game jam though!
