I had a good time with this game!
It certainly has quite a bit of charm and I like both the micromanagement aspects and the space-themed shooter! It is definitely an innovative mashup! Props for creativity!
The music is great and the graphics are cool!
My one caveat is that the motion controls for the spaceship are a bit too 'slippery' for me. Other than that it is a neat little game that seems pretty polished!
Glad I tried it! Game On!
thanks for the feedback!
The ship movement is slippery since I wanted to reproduce the idea that in space there is no friction, but only inertia. So, to stop you need to apply a force opposite to the movement direction. But i understand in a video game this can be disappointing, I'll reconsider the movement after jam is over (for correctness).
Thanks again!
Possibly a solution might be to add an option for the player to control their slipperiness. I understand from a design perspective why you did this and I think it is a great stylistic choice! For me I am bad at a lot of these dodging games (even though I made one like that for this Jam) but for more experienced people having slippery controls makes sense (and will be more fun for those people) from a design perspective!
