Amazing game! Has the StarFox vibe going! The intro was kind of long, especially if you had to restart the game. The pixel art and 3D seemed to clash a bit since they aren't really mixed. Don't get me wrong, they look great.
Perhaps adding check points would have encouraged me to finish till the end. I died about 3 times before leaving giving up. I just wanted to get through the game. I always seemed to end up with 1 HP just before I get to the part with the missiles. It might be a good time to have health batteries(?) just before or after that point or like I mentioned earlier a check point.
The controls were great, though at some points it was hard to determine if I was going to touch the power up or the circle boost thing or dodge a moving pillar, or not.
Overall, it was a fairly unique game with a lot of 3D assets that were visually pleasing. Great game jam submission!
