That was cute. Nice little difficulty curve, and I like how weird it got near the end. Feels really polished for such a short timeline.

Cute game. I'm only 10⭐ in, but I dig the concept, and the LttP look is nice.
Stuff I think it could benefit from:
- "Next" button when you finish a stage, alongside the replay/exit buttons.
- Maybe have the enemy make its move when you lose, so you know more easily why you lost
- Some sort of animation for the checkmate would be cool
Will try to play a bit more later and see if I have any other suggestions, but it looks good!
This was a fun prototype! It definitely didn't play nice with my DS5 gamepad (L2 behaved as all non-movement buttons).
Pretty solid platforming, looked great, loved the music. The combat against regular enemies felt a little "Not worth the trouble", but I enjoyed the boss fight!
Extra respect for having the volume set to <100% by default.
I really enjoy this! Feeling some `Captain Forever` vibes from it.
I love how quickly the difficulty scales up, and the gameplay evolves (While also still giving you time to collect powerups between waves). The game performs well, too.
I think it could be improved by a bit of music.
Issues:
- I don't know if this is just a me thing, but I couldn't actually aim with my Mouse; My ship would only face up+left at all times, which was difficult.
- Trying to rotate with the joystick was kind of janky. I found the easiest way to rotate was by using my triggers (Using a Dualshock 4); Left trigger weirdly rotated right up to 90º, right trigger rotated left up to 90º, and then if I held both, I could turn the whole 180º.
Decent game. High score: 32
I feel like the suction gun is a neat concept, but could be elaborated on by doing more than just plopping people into pits (eg: Shooting an enemy at another could stun them, or knock them back more than just a nudge).
More of a subjective thing, but I think having the mouse control the direction of suction without being based on screen position (Like a twin-stick game) would feel a bit better.
I appreciate the bit of variety in enemy sprites, but think it'd be nice if there was a bit of variety in audio, too.
As for issues: The text on the intro screen is overlapping and cut off, which doesn't set a great first impression.
A fun idea! I think it could be improved by having the difficulty scale up, as once you 'get it', the game pretty much doesn't end until you decide to stop (23 points for me).
Also, I noticed going left at full speed for a while, asteroids sometimes pop-in right in front of you, causing an unfair death.
I dig the chill music, but it does feel a little out of place in a space shooter.
Tried this out. The pistons in stage 8 feel a bit trolly at first, but maybe that was the point. I don't love that you can get hit by the spikes as it's lifting up if you just move to the side. All in all, a pretty decent meatboy-esque thing, though!
One thing I'd suggest clearing up is that the dash works if you hold other directions. I thought it was just a forward thing for a while.
Also, I'm not quite sure how I managed this, but I kinda broke it: https://i.imgur.com/wiPFYDY.png
In the end, I think I got a pretty good time: https://i.imgur.com/is1VgK6.png
