Thanks i'm glad you liked it :)

Yeah even if it's a jam entry i wanted to have at least a bit of variety so i aimed for 3 and i hopefully managed to make it, it was a lot of work though, but since it's a shooter and they're just backdrops with no actual tiles and level design this was more managable at least :p

Oh sorry about that :( i didn't experience any litteral crash when testing, so i'm not sure what happened there, do you remember approximately when during the boss that happened so i can check and see what could have caused this, also could depend on what browser you played in.

Well, I didn't do anything special, the battle had just begun and I was shooting at him, I'm using Chrome
I tried again and it now crashed near the end of the second boss :( I was just playing (moving and shooting)
so I got some more feedback for you instead :P
 It'd be cool to shoot the asteroids in the first area
The sprite work is awesome, but all the enemies and bosses have the same paintwork and end up looking kind of the same
you could bump up the speed of all things in the game to make it more fast and snappy
And one last thing that would've been great was being able to change your ship after dying, kind of like arcade shmups
because you already have different playable ships, but you have to start the game each time to try them out!
best of luck to you mate :D

Noted, i checked the boss code and everythig seemed normal, and i playtested again on both Firefox and Chrome and i was able to go through the full game with no crash, sorry about the inconvenience, but here i heve no clue what could have happened here to cause a crash on your end :/

The asteroids could be a nice feature post jam if i get some time, thanks for the suggestion :)

The enemies mostly have the same color cause i wanted them to feel like they were part of a similar uniform alien force, but i guess they do look a bit too samey that way, so i(ll take note if i can post jam this i'll add some more variety in the color schemes.

The speed issue has been noted as many peolpe pointed it out as well so if i can post jam then again i'll change this for sure to have the pace up a bit.

Concerning player ships : You can change your ship after death, i just didn't convey it all that well cause i made the continue Ui a bit too minimal, but if you've noticed, next to the continue you see "Ship 01,02,etc.. your current ship" and tha character hud portrait, you can use the direction key when this menu pop up to select any of the 5 ships just like in the old arcade games. But i don't blame anyone if they didn't catch that as i didn't conveyed it all that well and explained it nowhere on the page's controls section ^^'

Thanks again for the additional feedback, have a good one dude :)

Oh damn, you're right. I completely missed that feature, all I read was Continue? my bad!
all that information does get lost a little up in that corner, if you pull it just a bit away from the edges of the screen it should be more accessible to the player :D
