Great work! You've already commented about the lack of space so I wont belabor that point. But the game is really cute and has an awesome retro NES vibe.
Thanks!
Nice game! The main criticism I have is that the player's movement felt extremely floaty and was kind of frustrating even. I did really like the overall atmosphere, especially the music, and the procedural generation seemed to work really well. Overall, really good job!
Thanks!
Fun game that took me back to my childhood playing old school retro shooters. Main criticism is the lack of space that someone else already commented and you addressed. Very cool that you got in random level generation, great job!
Thanks! I'm glad you had fun.
Really enjoyed the mood and vibe from this one, the music was nice, the ship rotation was a cool idea. I did find some areas felt a bit hard in that there wasn’t a lot of space to address enemies in. But all the same a really fun game to play.
Great work.
Thanks!
I agree. I think if I had given more time to it, I would have balanced the area layouts better.
At the time, I was focused on the idea that there should be enough areas (there are 20) that the randomization wouldn't get stale but rushing on that meant that other aspects suffered. :P
Catchy tune, and the action kept flowing, which was really nice. I was a bit confused, as I assumed only the red ship could pickup red powerups, and the green green powerups. But both could pickup both.
well done for a solo developer, its hard to get it all done in such a short time
Thanks!
