Nice game and impressive that it was made for multiple platforms within the scope of a jam.
PROS
- Once I got the hang of the controls it was a good challenge that escalated quickly and I wanted to push myself for a higher score.
- The visuals are consistent throughout so the game visually feels like a nice cohesive package.
- I greatly appreciate the ability to just hold the fire button and my ship continues firing with the number of projectiles I'll need to fire to survive.
CRITIQUE
- Strictly speaking to keyboard controls: I'd recommend something other than the arrow keys for movement for the play in browser version. When attempting to pilot my ship in any direction the webpage would scroll away from the window so I quickly abandoned that strategy as a result.
- For mobile controls the button layout feels a little awkwardly placed: all rotation is in the left corner with attack, movement, and special in the right corner. You might try other configurations such as rotate right and move forward on the bottom right, rotate left and move backward on the bottom left, fire in the bottom center, and time-slow special in the top center. With the current buttons being circles that might make them obtrusive tot he gameplay, but you could make those buttons wide rectangles to bring them more out of the play space and make them easier to tap at the same time.
