I love the idea of the reverse-bullet hell/survivors-type game! I could sink hours into a game like this.
I loved the art you used for this game. I can't remember - did you create these for the jam specifically, or were these premade assets? Either way, they're so beautiful! I want them as a wallpaper XD
As we discussed on stream, my biggest issue with playing this game was due to the static background/parallax-y things confusing my eyes! 😁 If you do decide to update this game and test out different settings for the background, I'd be happy to playtest the changes!
Thank you for your submission to the HF 2023 Game Jam!

Thank you for your feedback, it’s was nice to be able to discuss it live :)
It’s a generator that I used to generate sprites specifically for this jam ^^ They are deep-folds’s Pixel Planet Generator and Pixel Space Background Generator.
I’ve listed all the assets used in the credits section of the game.
I will definitively focus my next efforts on the parallax background. I had taken this approach because the specificity of this jam (and I released the game 6 hours before the end, so I would not had the time to do something different ^^)
I’ll try to give the users more choice as for the movement system to use as well (and I’ve noted a few other things from live review).
PS: I had added the asteroids for the parallax issue, but if I had put too many, it would had give the feeling to be in an asteroid field
