Hi turpitron,
Just wanted to give some feedback on your game since you took the time to play ours. :)
This is a really cool concept!
It's one of those crushingly difficult games, reminding me of the good ol' retro days, that you just have to keep playing until you get better at it!
I can definitely see this being expanded into a full-fledged game. With some alternate game modes, powers and achievements, you can get even more people checking this out!
I have a good feeling that Mark is going to add this to his top 20 for this game jam! Simple. Innovative. And it is an interesting take on platformers + shmups. It has legs!
Great job on getting this done in 48 hours! :D
